A Whole Lotta Food

Yesterday was craziness--in a good way, just super crazy busy. One of those non-stop days with a hundred things to do and you actually get them all done because you don't stop...Got my strength workout done bright and early before we had to head to the bus stop, then whisked off to Dartmouth for another round of Christmas shopping--oh the lovelies I found! Came home and wrapped, wrapped, wrapped and stashed everything all away. And as much as I've gotten done Christmas-wise already, it's hard to believe I still have four more full weeks of shopping, baking, and decorating to tackle yet...I don't know how the last minute folks do it all and not lose their minds...

But, down another pound this morning--yay!! I have to say there is an insane amount of food to eat every day to the point that I just can't eat it all. I'm so full at the end of the day, I have to stop. What a fantastic change that is! No more cravings or temptations to dig through the pantry for something salty, crunchy, sweet, or simply time-passing (I'm a big boredom eater...) I'm too full!! There's also a lot of prep work that goes in to the week that Bob suggests getting it all done and out of the way Sunday night--which I suppose would be better for those who have to be out and gone into the world every day with no other time for all this prep work--but! There's eggs to boil (about a dozen), chicken breasts and vegetables to roast (a ton), turkey meatballs to cook, and filling the fridge full of healthy fruits and veggies to chow on. I've spread that all out over a few days (though I could make another veggie run...maybe tomorrow...?)

The turkey meatballs were like working with the pink slime that was all the hot controversy a couple years ago:

Ewww--stuck to everything!!

Cookin' 'em up!

But I can tell you they're pretty tasty and next time I'll be sure to mix and measure it all with spoons rather than my hands (blech!)

This was my roasted veggie omelet yesterday morning (so yum!):

You eat a LOT of veggies, roasted and otherwise with Bob's Skinny Rules!

Sadly today and Friday's rows have been cancelled--not enough (crazy enough to be out on the water in 26 degrees) rowers--but, there's still Saturday's open row and the possibility of subbing Sunday and/or Monday, and I've signed up for the Thanksgiving Turkey Row--which it could be SNOWING!!!! So thinking today I'll bike it after McBugga gets off to school, see what remnants of leaves are fighting to hang on the neighborhood trees yet...

And just a couple quick puppy pics!!

I wish this turned out clearer--Boo baby enjoying the crisp, cool weather

Tuck all smashed up against the sliding door, soaking up sunshine

I had a shot of Pea sunbathing as well, but she's so white and the sun was so bright, she looked like a giant glare...ah, Pea baby...Who is pestering me for breakfast, so I'ma skedaddle! Happy Wednesday all!
