What happened to Saturday?? Oh yeah. I was buried in the kitchen. ;)
Spent yesterday cooking and prepping food. Tried some new recipes that all went over well. Chickpea Crispies, Cauliflower Poppers, BBQ Baked Beans, and a new twist on my Strawberry Spinach Salad.
I impressed myself by putting together an ETL picnic dinner to take to the lake in under 15 minutes with even less notice. ;)
Today we were gone the whole day for church, lunch with friends, and evening service. I brought along two Mexican Casseroles. One I made with ground beef and cheese and another was strictly beans and vegies. It was a new recipe and tasted wonderful! I resisted the brownies and coffee ice cream, even though it was super hard to do and super easy to justify it "just for Sunday". ;)
After church this evening there was a light dinner served. I filled my plate with fresh vegetables and fruit. I indulged a bit with a dairy based dip, but it was a small amount and I hadn't had a full serving of dairy yet this week. I'm good. :)
I'm finding this way of eating easier and easier to do. Passing some of those yummy bread sandwiches by tonight was a little tough. However, I know that once I meet my goal, I'll be able to plan ahead to enjoy treats like that. I just didn't want to use my meat for the week on cold cuts or other foods that weren't something I would REALLY love. ;)
Stepped on the scale yesterday and was down again. I'm only .4 pounds away from being under that 200 mark. But, when you think about the fact that my clothes weigh more than .4 pounds, I'm already there!! Under my clothes, that is. ;)
Feeling sleepy and ready to get some rest. Today was very busy for us all, so we'll be moving a little slow tomorrow. But, we have a house that needs tidying and a garden that needs tending, so resting well is in order.
