#37 Make Healthy Meals Week 2

Monday - leftovers for dinner. But I did have that spinach salad later. I won't count today as a healthy meal day though, since no one else really ate healthy.

Tuesday - cheese ravioli with mixed veggies added, and tomato sauce with spinach added in. It was really healthy and I enjoyed it. Gwendolyn actually chewed on some of the veggies, but I don't think she actually ingested any. 1 down!

Thursday - marinated salmon and garlic potatoes - yum!

Saturday lunch - Pumpkin Penne Wise pasta (Rachael Ray recipe)

#7 - failure

I had put "no eating after 8pm" on my list because it is a good way to stop from mindless snacking and is an easy step in maintaining weight. But last night after Gwendolyn finally went to sleep I was starving. I really debated about eating because it was 8:15, clearly past my time limit. I eventually decided to have a spinach salad with Gorgonzola cheese, pecans and a vinaigrette dressing. Pretty healthy right? Well the 1/4 piece of chocolate mouse cake leftover from my birthday dinner was NOT healthy. But I only ate a little. My first failure and it may be one of many, but I will persevere!

#13 Things to be Thankful for v 2

1. my friends - thanks for helping me celebrate my birthday girls!
2. Gwendolyn- right now she is literally running around in her bed giggling and laughing. Its dark in there, nothing exciting, but she is having the best time.
3. My husband - he takes such good care of me and is my all time best friend. I love him. Edit: after posting this, he did something special to make my toes curl!!!

#98 Update my resume

Done for now. I updated my resume to include my current role. It is not clean enough to be used for job hunting, but I got all the key points on paper that I would want to include. I had to remove several older items, since it was well over the one page limit. Check check ya'll.

#32, 33, 34

I'm doing very well in my flossing, electric tooth brushing and night cream usage. I even bought SPF lotion for my neck and chest to wear during the day (as Oprah told me to do).

#29 Call Extended Family

I know, I know you have to call family on Thanksgiving - but I still did it. I talked to my aunt Pat, aunt Susie, Jason & Kristen. AND talked to my college roommates Sandy and Kelly. Sandy just had a baby! and Kelly is due in July! Baby city, baby baby city.

#20 Date Night!

Check! John took me (and Gwendolyn) out for an awesome meal at Eddie V's. I had steak and scallops, they were perfection. Gwendolyn was really good for the meal, but decided she was done when the plates were taken away (fair enough, right). They even gave us a free birthday dessert to take home, chocolate mousse - it was rich chocolaty goodness.

Even though Gwendolyn was there, I am still counting this as date night. The price of the meal certainly qualifies as a date.
