I have to admit that this late in the game, I feel repetitive in my blog woes. And it shows with a lack of readership. Not that I'm looking for a million people to read my online babblings, but there comes a point where I really feel like I'm just talking to myself about the same things...
Anyway, today was a rush of meals. I was on the go most of the day and that made things complicated as far as meals are concerned. Fortunately, I have a few prepared foods in my fridge that I can grab in a hurry. Leftovers are my friend. Sometimes my best friend that saves me from drive-thru temptations. Whenever I cook anything, I put the leftovers in single-serving containers. This means I go through A LOT of containers, but it saves so much time later on. I also keep a half dozen hard boiled eggs in the fridge at all times. Those things really come in handy when I'm rushing out the door.
I do a ridiculous amount of dishes. I'm going through Dawn like crazy with all the pans I wash on a daily basis. At the risk of offending the feminists out there, I have to admit that maintaining a clean kitchen makes me feel all sorts of domestic and helpful. I spend a lot of time in that kitchen; I might as well keep it a pleasant work space, right?
It's been a tough couple of days with my toddler. She's teething and her good sleeping streak has officially ended. That makes for some sleepless nights for this momma. Motivation and patience are waning lately, but sticking to this plan is more important than my sleep deprivation-based food cravings. And, as with most habits I have forfeited over the past 4 weeks, they are getting easier to work through. One of the best weapons I have to fight food cravings is physical activity (how predictable is that, right?). It is so tempting to do the minimal daily requirements after a night of no sleep, but a light walk or a trip to the park helps to fight exhaustion-induced junk food cravings like you wouldn't believe. That and watching less TV. Go figure.
What I ate:
Breakfast: Hard boiled eggs and cantaloupe
Lunch: Leftover Cold Thai salad
