So this weekend was FUN but CRAZY on the healthy April, Clean Eating bandwagon. Saturday, I had my gmonster and english muffin w/ veggie sausage. Then for lunch we went to Chipotle, I got a veggie bowl with rice, black beans, pinto beans, corn salsa, tomato salsa, sour cream, a little cheese and grac. I ate the whole thing and I was STUFFED! Then we drank beer...and drank beer...and drank beer!!! I probably had 6...so this is about 600 calories. Then for dinner we went to a great little Italian place (at 8pm, yikes) I got angle hair with marinara and it was good until the 2nd time around. I ATE WAY TOO MUCH, because I wasn't thinking clearly...I could have stopped about a third of the way through the enormous bowl of pasta - BUT I DIDN'T!
Yesterday, I did a little better...we went to Mom and Dads and I was actually feeling up to eating so I had a little of the breakfast casserole (I picked out the bacon). It was hashbrowns, egg, cheese, and yumminess! then I had a coffee with cream. We didn't eat lunch so I green monstered. Then for dinner, I made a delicious shrimp pasta (recipe below). Killed that and had a few triscuits as a snack.
I did C25k Saturday morning and Sunday night - YAY ME! I'm on Week 3-3 minutes running/3 minutes walking then 1.5 min. running/1.5 min. walking- WHOLE THING TWICE. This is a little more nuts...and my knees are KILLING ME! My poor knees are like WTH?! Why are you trying to do this to us with all this extra weight. I've tried telling them that if they can cooperate a little longer, then the weight will be less and they'll like me more! (I know I'm nuts)
1lb angle hair pasta
2 tbsp EVOO
7 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
1/3 C White Wine

I am SO GLAD it is Monday! I am thrilled to be back to my routine. I happily made my gmonster in the blender cup this morning with my eng muffin, then packed my apple, triscuits and cheese. I packed some left over yummy shrimp pasta, and a small salad. Happy April. I'm going to make some fish tonight for me and DJ and the boys are gonna have the leftover shrimp pasta (Which they KILLED last night...new food they love). I'll C25K tonight and maybe take an extra little walk with the boys if the rain holds out!
I think I'm going to calorie out my whole weekend just to see how I did (curiousity killed the cat) :)
