Ooph, this week has been rough. Work has been crazy, though at least it's spring break for my grad program. Aside from Wednesday, were I felt ravenous and had 2 pieces of chocolate around 2pm, I've been sticking to one meal a day. My weight is back up to 170.8. But I'm not too worried about that. I've been tracking my calories and even if I underestimated, and I'm still well within a deficit for the week. Sodium has been a bit high, and because of the craziness this week I've been jumping on the scale before I go to the bathroom. I had sushi yesterday, which I absolutely love. And way too much soy sauce. I had salmon with dill butter and mashed potatoes our on Wednesday at trivia (we won two rounds!) and a few nachos and onion rings.
Tonight we have another home chef meal. Pot roast style steak with mashed potatoes and peas and carrots, about 660 calories. So I will probably have some peanut butter, too. Does anyone else just eat spoonfuls of peanut butter?
My boyfriend wants to start a workout plan, so I'll probably be jumping in with him once I'm done stage managing for a production of Jesus Christ Superstar. He's looking at either p90x (which we've done before. Intense, but fun), or Master's Hammer and Chisel. We have it, but haven't done it yet because we need a workout bench. I told him to surprise me. I know this will probably slow my weight loss, but I'll take measurements and start tracking that way, too.

I posted somewhere else around here but when I was about 8 or 9-yrs old, in the summers when playing around the neighborhood, I would keep a large spoon in my back pocket and would take a quick break and run into the house, scoop put a very large scoop of peanut butter and would run outside and eat it, lick the spoon clean and put it back in my pocket. Would repeat maybe 3 or 4 times throughout the day! 8-yr old boys have horrible hygiene habits!

But I bet it did wonders for your immune system!

We hadn't gotten much snow the last couple of years, but have been slammed with 3 nor'easters the last 2.5 weeks. But at least our power didn't go out this time, and it's actually warm and sunny out today so maybe it'll all start melting. I do enjoy snow, but more in January and February and not March. I work for a University, and we were closed yesterday due to the snow and had a 4 hour delay today while they cleaned up campus. I didn't know what to do with myself! The dog was very confused.
Weigh in today, and exactly the same weight I was yesterday. So not that exciting on that front. BUT out of curiosity I remeasured my waist, and it's gone down a quarter of an inch in 2 weeks. So I'll call that a win anyway. I know my eating has been good calorie wise, with more healthy and whole foods to balance out the junk. So I'm just waiting for that woosh when it all catches up to me.
This week is restaurant week in this little river side town near us. And due to the snow, tonight was the only night we can go, and I'm really excited. There's a very good Creole restaurant built in an old church, and the food is amazing. I've already planned it out (mostly), since they have a Prix fix menu. Bacon or stuffed oysters, salad or gumbo, entree, and desert. I'm torn between what they call eggplant Ophelia, which is like eggplant lasagna with shrimp and crab, or the crab cakes. They also have jambalaya and beef filets. If you can't tell, I'm really excited. Haven't been to this place since the summer.
