Went out for a date night with David last night. We went to Tropical Smoothie Café. I ordered a Mexican type salad, hold the chicken, onion and tomatoes. (I cannot eat onion or tomato raw...blech). It came with salsa, guac, a miniscule amount of black beans and corn and a highly seasoned white rice Mexican rice thing. So, not the healthiest choice, that's for sure. We shared a no-sugar added fruit smoothie, Blimey Limey.
So, overall, I'm over on how many grains I've had this week and my salt intake is pretty high.
I have been getting up in the mornings for my weigh-in. I also added in some morning stretches and this morning did about 20 minutes on the wii of yoga and such to wake up a bit. That was nice. I haven't gotten in any other exercise, though. Maybe a good walk tonight.
I made up bok choy tonight. Very empowering to make foods I've barely eaten, never mind cooked before. The sauce was way too salty, so it needs adjusting, but I think it went over decently. I liked it. (except the sauce ;) )
Tonight was Chicken Night. I've never seen Verity more excited in her life!! LOL. She ran through the whole house exclaming, "We're eating chicken!!! We're eating chicken!!!" Poor girl. She misses her chicken. ;)
We served baked thighs and I roasted some cauliflower and baby Brussels sprouts with a lime juice, chili powder, coriander, onion, garlic dressing. That was great!
As I was serving the food, I was planning to share a bit of chicken with the baby. She devoured it SO fast!
I just didn't want any. It smelled good, but I had no real desire to eat it, so I passed on the chicken. No sense in eating it simply because it's THERE. I'm learning. :)
Oh, one more thing. Those *skinny* jeans I bought for myself as a reward when I dropped my weight before. They are loose and I can pull them down w/o unbuttoning now too. Yay. :)
