McCupcake: Cute Face & A Chubby Waist

Hellllo chicks and Happy Hump day! (or happy no-hump day as LindaT calls it.hehe)

This weekend was fairly tame. I went to visit Mom and came back home and cooked and baked alllll weekend. I also took care of a VERY sick boyfriend - which was really cute in its own little way.

Over the weekend I roasted a chicken and made some broth from the leftovers and tossed the dark meat into the broth with a bunch of veg and beans to make some Spicy Spinach & chicken soup. It’s VERY tasty. To compliment that I made some cornbread. I’ve never made it before but it turned out quite well. It’s heavy though and I wasnt expecting that.  It’s still amazingly delicious with the soup. I modified the recipe so that it wouldn’t be high fat/sugar. So I don’t feel SO guilty but it’s definitely something to becareful with.

Yesterday I kind of had one heck of a cheat day. I went to the grocery store and did very well and bought only healthy food until I came upon the steak….OHHH the steak. *Drools* I bought a crappy cut and hoped no one would notice my nice cart full of organic foods..and an awkwardly packaged piece of steak smack in the middle. lol Needless to say, I merinaded it but I made the merinade so it was all oil and heavy things. I did make a nice spinach and strawberry salad to go with it and some broiled sweet potato chunks….but the steak was definitely not good. Then I busted into the chocolate truffles. So, all in all yesterday was a write off. lol ( I hate to say it, but I loved every minute of it…:P )

I went for a walk this morning and got distracted by the cruise ship in the harbour so I hopped off of my treadmill and grabbed some iced chai tea and plopped myself in the arm chair on my patio and watched the boats go up and down the harbour. It was a PERFECT idea and just what I needed to recharge my batteries after this weekend.

So, tonight I’m going to do my school work, clean up the house and actually exercise. I know I’m just as shocked as everyone else is.

I hope everyone enjoys their day. Have a great day, chicks!
