Things I Love

• That I can walk around the curve of the harbor to meet friends for drinks,
• Friends who make me laugh and whom I make laugh,
• Pomegranate martinis,
• Walking home and seeing the lobster boats sitting on the water like they are on glass,
• Seeing faint Christmas lights in the distance,
• The air that is just cold enough to wear a jacket and scarf,
• Coming home to a warm house,
• Coming home.

Planning for the Week

Here is my Sunday night planning that I do for the week.

Food Prep:

1. Made 4 cups of brown rice (2 cups dry) with veggie stock.

2. Made 2 cups of tiny lentils (1 cup dry) with veggie stock.

3. Cut up a pineapple.

4. Removed tiny stickers from and washed apples and kiwis.

5. Chopped and steamed a bunch of collards.

6. Prepared lunch for Monday: collards, brown rice and lentils drizzled with olive oil. Apple, kiwi and pineapple. Some hummus and pita for late afternoon snack before yoga.

7. Fill water bottles and put in fridge.

Yoga Prep:

1. Check yoga schedule for classes and sign up for them.

2. Add yoga classes to calendar so I don't forget them!

3. Make sure all yoga clothes are clean and ready to go.

Am now watching this cool documentary on the science behind losing weight. I knew that lots of dairy and protein helped me eat less, and now I know the science behind it.

Same lunch, different day

Look's surprisingly like yesterday's lunch, no? Today was: one chicken thigh, 1/2 a zucchini, 2 aspargus spears, and the rest of the bunch of broccoli rabe. Then I toasted a peice of the wheat bread, chopped it up and put it in the bottom of the bowl. Yum. But the bread might have been better with a little bit of butter. Maybe the butter from this morning's toast could have been used at lunch.

I have decided to not go to my networking event tonight, and to get a massage instead. Much better.
