This morning I started off with natural honey peanut butter on toast with an orange and a glass of milk. It was nice because that is what I had taken to eating at GM. I then took a trip to Target where I managed to spend a healthy amount of money...as always. I bought my eight pound weights, my supplies to make my "This Month Belongs to Me" calendars, and a dry erase Menu board for my kitchen so I can keep track of my meal plans during the week.
By the time I got home and made lunch, it was close to 2:30 PM. Today I made turkey sandwiches for me and Joe. I toasted the bread, added cheddar cheese, avocado and tomato and really delicious turkey breast from a local farmer. We also had a cup of fruit (strawberries, raspberries, and grapes) and a salad. By the time lunch ended and I started working on my month cards, I started thinking about dinner.
The thing about being away from GM that really sticks out right away to me is the lack of personal chef's in my apartment! Joe and I had plans to go to trivia tonight with some friends, so I needed to think about, prepare, and eat dinner before a certain hour. So it felt as though as soon as lunch was finished, I was on to the next meal. Luckily, I work from home right now, so I know this can be managed.
Tonight I made Veggie Mac & Cheese and green beans. Very good and helpful in my quest to cut back on my meat consumption. Here is the link to recipe for the Mac & Cheese if you are interested: http://networkedblogs.com/JHlZG I'm sure it's great for kids because it hides veggies in the cheese sauce! Plus, I used whole wheat pasta and both Joe and I really enjoyed it.
Tomorrow starts my at home fitness routine. I am going to my first Denver aquatics class at a local community center in the morning and plan to do my Upper Body Strength Training DVD after my lunch with a friend. I hope the class is good! Looking forward to getting into my fitness routine.
I have long desired to have a chef in my kitchen! Mike does a great job most days, but it would still be very nice. That's usually what I like most about going on retreat -- they cook meals for me! :) And I would like to say that I think this is the chief difference between rich celebrities and us peons ... they have people to cook for them and trainers to train them ... would be nice!
