And I was home disconnected all weekend. Quick recap (I know it hasn't been ideal, but I'm making the adjustment slowly)
Friday night: spinach mushroom and corn bake, yes whitesauce, but hey it was the healthiest thing on the menu. Also danced for 5 hours. At least.
Saturday: chai, a small amount of pizza, because there was nothing to eat or cook with in the house, something I remedied by groing grocery shopping on sunday. Dinner was pasta again, but wholewheat with lots of olives, peppers, artichokes and assorted veggies. Ate about 2 cups cooked penne. The rest was farmed out to fellow diners.
Sunday: 2 slices of wholewheat bread and about 2 tsps cheese spread. Yes, I know, bad kitty. But I'm going to make some hummus and keep it for emergencies, and I also got some peanut butter. This was pre-groceries. Lunch was 1 cup cooked wholewheat spaghetti (Italian weekend, what can I say!) in a spinach sauce, cooked in 1 tsp sunflower oil, with about 1 cup milk and some onions and basil. Dinner was bad, being more pizza (wholewheat, mushroom, asparagus and not much cheese) and some ravioli. Again, I think I managed to keep portions down, but it wasn't the healthiest choice. However, it was a farewell with The Roommate, who leaves on Wednesday *sniffle*.
Sandra has kindly made me a meal plan for an entire week, the individual elements of which I'm going to experiment with this week to see if it needs adjustments, and then I do it the week starting the 16th.
I'm also putting a moratorium on eating out more than twice a week. This includes ordering in. It might be hard, it will definitely cut spontaneity until i have a routine worked out, and it will need some advance planning of meals and making sure i can come home to eat every night. However, I think it's eminently possible!
This morning's workout was: 20 min on treadmill at 5.7 and incline 3, 10 on the elliptical, upperbody workout, and an integrated workout i.e. biceps, triceps, lats, chest flies, bench pressed, the raising above your head one (cant rem name), lunges, squats, lunges, squats, abs and back...ouch. But its a good ouch :)
