I hope everyone is enjoying this fabulous holiday weekend - and I hope you don't have to work on Monday! I have tried to sit down so many times to write and just haven't found the time! It's the good and bad of being a business owner! :)
So....after much conversation on Thursday in my house (especially between me and the bestie) we decided to cut out a lot of the fatty meats we have been eating (largely due watching our pennies) and cutting out all the white food in our diets and eating more fruits and veggies! I am glad to say I woke up Friday feeling really pumped and it has only gotten better since then!
I had two little ones with me - JJ and Mya - and many errands to run. We were all super hungry and I needed gas so I stopped at QT. Normally I would get a super sugar-laden latte and an apple fritter. Instead, I had a diet Coke, pineapple wedges and a protein bar!
Sooooo proud of myself, if I do say so myself (but that fritter was calling my name as I walked all the way out the door!!)!
After many errands, we got home to have some lunch and hang out by the pool. Afterall, that's what summer is all about, right?? I made myself a salad with tomato, sliced strawberries, feta cheese, a little bacon (there's that fatty meat - oops!!), some balsamic vinegar and EVOO. It was delish!!!
Later in the evening, me and my bestie had some yummy cocktails, a delicious grilled fish dinner and our own version of karaoke on the patio with the girls:
Mmmmm...grilled fish on brown rice with a black bean/corn salsa and a side of grilled veggies!
Saturday morning came waaaayyy too early (remember, we had cocktails and karaoke!!!). I had a cleaning job to do so I had some peanut butter on a slice of whole wheat toast, mixed fruit and coffee with my NEW soy milk!! YUM-O!
I skipped lunch and came home so tired and hungry I took the girls out for dinner at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I just wanted to be waited on after a long day!!! I ordered veggie fajitas, which I've never had, and LOVED them!! Lots of delicious grilled onions, peppers and squash! The girls had cheese quesadillas so we had an all-around veggie dinner!
Today I had my last cleaning job of the holiday weekend - whew! I had some peanut butter on whole wheat in the morning but didn't have any lunch as it was soooo hot and I can't stand the thought of hot food when I'm hot! When I got home from the job I had some hummus on pita chips and then decided to mow the lawn - for my workout of the day!! Needless to say, I'm very sore but very happy with the yard and with my diligence over the last few days!
After a long, hot shower, we made pasta primavera with squash, zucchini, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes. It was very fresh and light - loved it! Even the girls ate theirs - veggies and all!
What are your plans for Memorial Day? Are you planning ahead to stay on track?
Stay True to You!
Hugs,
Heather
