7/27/2009

I have several challenges to face in the next 2 weeks. Normally I would allow myself to “indulge” a bit for special occasions but I can’t afford to do that with so many special occasions in just one week!  This will be a good opportunity to take what I’m learning to the next level and see how well I do “in real life”.

Challenge #1:  4-year-old nephew’s birthday dinner (pizza!) tomorrow night

Challenge #2:  My department’s team building event (cooking party, Iron Chef style, with lots of wine and champagne and delicious goodies) on Friday

Challenge #3:  4-year-old nephew’s birthday party (with cake & ice cream) Saturday afternoon

Challenge #4:  Husband’s pre-birthday dinner celebration (cocktails, steakhouse, cake & ice cream) Saturday evening

Challenge #5:  Husband’s actual birthday next Tuesday (will likely include another meal out and more desserts)

Challenge #6:  Old friend coming to town.  Our typical meetup includes lots of japanese food.

We’ll see how I do.

Today’s food:

Breakfast:  2 espressos (one with milk, the other with a small creamer); DanActive; 2 peices raisin toast with earth balance (pictured below)

Lunch:  Amy’s Tofu Scramble (pictured)

Snacks:  celery, mini sweet peppers, yellow grape tomatoes (pictured along with strawberries that I did not eat)

Dinner:  veggie sandwich & salad with delicious butter lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, olives, and Annie’s naturals dressing.  Such an amazing and easy and quick and filling and guilt-free meal.
