I spent all weekend cleaning my apartment. Lots of getting up, sitting down, lifting and shifting. It's almost done. In between all of that, I kept on my plan! I am really proud of myself for not taking the easy way out and just saying
"Fuck it! I worked hard. I'm gonna eat an entire pizza. Yeah, as a reward. I earned it."
Instead. My husband and I ordered Chinese. Even though we were starving I took my tie deciding what I wanted. Egg drop soup, beef and broccoli (and carrots). Instead of white rice I got brown rice. It was kinda of gross from here. All pasty. I measured one serving of everything. I even made some edamame. Publix has some you can steam in the bag. I put that sucker in the microwave and cooked them up. To add some flavor I mixed some fresh lemon juice and garlic and tossed the little pods in that. It was perfect addition to my meal.
Now that I think of it I should have ordered my favorite, shrimp in garlic Sauce. It has tons more veggies and WAY more tastier. Maybe next time.
There may not be a next time. When we woke up on Sunday both my husband and I had the worst headaches. Like I drank an entire bottle of cheap whiskey last night hangover headaches. Excedrine took the edge off. Coffee helped a bit more... but I haven't really been able to kick this demon headache all day. I will drink all the water possible tomorrow to flush it from my system.
Tomorrow's dinner will be better. Homemade. I am making chili from a book that I have had for years and have yet to cook any of the great recipes. I opened it during our cleaning to a page with the most glorious looking chili. Can't wait to cook it. It seems only right that most of the ingredients were on sale this week. SCORE!
