New PM!

Dinner almost ended up being ordered from a local sandwich shop. We did not make a plan for dinner so at 5PM I was trying to think of what was in my kitchen that I could throw together. Well-the take-out menu folder came out. And after looking at it I thought-there HAS to be something I can make here. SO glad I went into the kitchen. Here is what I made: Cooked a few slices of pancetta, took out of pan, threw in some minced garlic, chopped up roma tomatoes(after they cooked down a bit I added crushed red pepper and mashed them up a little so they were smoother but still a bit chunky), kalamata olives, defrosted frozen shrimp, added the pancetta back in, and then a bit of fresh lemon juice and finished the sauce with fresh basil. Made some pasta(not ww unfortunately but used what I had on hand). The sauce turned out amazing! I also had a bag of Caesar salad mix that I made. Such a better dinner than a cheeseteak and fries!!!! Jill
Goal for next 6 weeks:
Go to the gym 3x/week for a minimum of 45 minutes each time

Sunday actuals B: Autumn harvest, banana, milk, tea, cranraspberry juice S: None L: Ah, geez...didn't choose too well. We went to the greek booth and I thought I was doing something smart with the small sampler but it was really only small in the amount of salad he put on it. It was rice, lamb, chicken, a little salad on one of those little dessert sized paper plates but it was indulgent and not even all that yummy for what I'm sure it cost me in calories. S: Pinapple Ginger Agua Fresca D: Turkey burger, baked beans, celery and lentil pate leftovers S: Cherries, 1 1/2 small brownies and a few maple pecans Monday plan: B: Autumn harvest, banana, milk, tea S: Probably none L: Going out w/job coach...not sure where S: Cherries and yogurt D: Dad is coming for dinner. Need to figure out what I'm fixing. Something on the grill I think but haven't menu planned yet to figure it out. Peg

Wednesday actuals: B: Autumn harvest, 1/2 banana, milk, chai S: No L: Smart ones meal, lots of asparagus, tea S: Blueberries and yogurt D: Salmon burger on bun w/little light mayo, sweet potato fries Exercise: 30 min walk
Thursday plan: B: Bagel bar w/almond butter, cranraspberry juice, tea S: Not planning one L: Going to Indian buffet. Going to eat what I want that fits on one plate with the exception of a lettuce salad I usually skip (assuming this place has one) and a small bowl of dal that I will start with. I've been craving Indian so this will kill 2 birds with one stone and I'll be networking/chatting so that usually slows me down. Hot tea to drink and that should do it. S: Will be out running around and I hope to stay busy enough I don't want one. Will put a bar in my bag just in case so I stay outta Starbucks. D: If I get home, I'll go for the lentils I skipped tonight. Exercise: 30 min in the morning

Sunday actuals B: Bagel bar with a bit of butter, cranraspberry juice, milk, tea S: None L: Scrambled egg with hashbrowns, spinach, red pepper, onion, big bowl of salad greens w/grape tomatoes Remainder: S: None D: small bowl of the leftover Thai Basil Chicken from last night. S: Cheese and crackers, some veggies with dip, water Exercise: Nope Monday plan: B: Bagel bar w/almond butter, milk, cranraspberry juice, tea S: Yogurt w/blueberries L: Lentil salad on greens, blueberry muffin S: Cucumbers and hummus D: Taking dinner to my friend recovering from surgery. Taking pasta casserole, green salad and bread. Will keep the pasta to a small serving. I want to start looking at the week ahead for pitfalls on Sunday nights: 1. Networking lunch on Thursday at an Indian restaurant buffet. I will stick to one plate of food, no rice pudding, will consider skipping the samosas. 2. Friday night picnic at the concert in the park: Find some healthy options to take including something besides tea or water to drink. Ideas anyone? 3. 4th of July: Think I'm going to host a bit of a bbq depending on if anyone wants to join me. I should have control over the food though so that is always safer. Will make either chicken or very lean beef for my protein even though I have a pkg of brats in the freezer calling my name.  I planned the rest of the meals through Thursday night this afternoon and did most of the shopping. Need to stop at the store and get a couple other items but will do that when I get bread for dinner tomorrow night. Peg
