Holy cow! Where did the semester go already?
I HATE this time of year. My courses are running full throttle: students are turning in drafts & polished projects & revisions & extra credit work & online discussion forums. I’m a grading/responding idiot right now.
Last week as hubby & I pulled ourselves away from grading to head home, & realized that once again we’d forgotten to prep anything for dinner, I complained about all the eating out we’ve been doing. But, hubby pointed out, it’s that time of the semester. I’m eating okay, even out. Salads to open, a couple of nights of the local dive’s spinach pie with a baked potato, curried tofu from Pei Wei today.
Luckily hubby left the office early tonight, leaving me time to finish up stuff while he cooked the meatloaf, green beans, and big salad. Really nice to come home to a hot meal. Ate chicken & broccoli & apple crisp at our friends’ house in Ohio last night. I’m at the point of barely remembering the week here, which isn’t such a bad thing, but I leave for Philadelphia for a conference on Wednesday, so I gotta get back to tracking food before it’s too late.
& yeah, this conference comes at a crappy time of the year, but I have to go every damn year. Okay, complain-fest ends here.
We got back late from Ohio this morning, so no breakfast, no weigh-in. Tomorrow I’m shooting for both. Lunch & dinner I covered above. Tomorrow lunch will be leftover Pei Wei & a slice of meatloaf. Dinner will be a big apple & a large coffee (teaching night). We got a long walk in last night with our friends, & our 1.2-mile walk in tonight.
But let’s face it. This is no way to start over. I need a tape (yoga or pilates) and a routine.
Hope ya’ll are doing good this week.
I have finally accepted that there are times in my life where it’s ok to lighten up a bit and cut myself some slack. Sounds like you’re there right now.
i love apple crisp. especially when it’s fresh and warm. YUM! such temptations.
You are not doing a very good job of keeping me accountable. I am blaming you for my 10 pound weight gain. I mean, come on, i have to blame somebody. This certainly cannot be my own stupid lazy fat fault.
