Todd's parents came over yesterday for lunch, and spent the night, so Todd and I could drive to Detroit and watch a couple of international soccer games. The second one was U.S. vs Canada.... sooo much fun. We won, 2 to 0. I haven't had such a great time in ages! Got home at 12:30am and slept on the living room couch -- we had offered up our room in exchange for free babysitting, but honestly, it was so hot upstairs that I think we got the better deal :)
For breakfast I had some pineapple and honeydew melon. For lunch I made a wrap -- I got out a whole-grain tortilla, mixed up some of my homemade guacamole with hummus for the spread, then filled it with lettuce, tomato and cucumber. Very yummy. For Todd and Carly I added a slice of cheese each. Then I had a bunch of leftover salad with a little steamed corn on top, with the last of the orange-cashew dressing.
I'm a little frustrated about my inability to eat as much salad as I think I should -- I make the "proper" size salad described in Eat for Health, and it takes me at least 2 meals to finish it! The same goes for the soups. That bean/vegetable soup I made last week was supposed to be 10 servings; so far, with help from Todd's parents yesterday, we've gone through 8 "servings" and I'd say there's about 8 more servings still in the freezer. I keep telling myself that if I could just get through enough soup/salad, I would be able to avoid those late afternoon/early evening cravings for unhealthy food that always hit me.
Yesterday I made something very yummy with Swiss chard. I should remember to post the recipe later.
Well, I do read. But I’d rather talk on the phone than leave a comment. If for no other reason than Blogspot doesn’t like my login – always makes me do it like three times before it will take.
ReplyDelete...and half the time, then makes me go log on to livejournal as well, followed by two or three rounds with the "if you can type this word we know you're a real human being" routine. Seriously, it's a pain.
