It was getting bad. I was out of a lot of essentials. Like I was 5 seconds away from having to steal toilet paper from work.
OK. Maybe I actually stole a roll last week from my parents house because I didn't want to stop at the store. Perhaps. :) The fact remains that it pains me to drop that much money but it was absolutely necessary.
Anyway...it felt really good to be at the gym today. I can't wait to get my new running shoes, hopefully this weekend. And then at some point - either Thurs, Sat or Sun next week I AM GOING TO ZUMBA with Ben.
Seriously. The scale is a little bit mad at me. Not furious, but a little mad. There is no room to go up. I'm okay with standing still, down would be fantastic but up is not even an option.
Last night I grabbed the few things I have in the fridge/freezer and whipped this up.
I roasted some tomatoes at 400 for an hour with olive oil, S&P, crushed red pepper and garlic.
I roasted a chicken breast in onion, white wine, a little Ken's Lite Northern Italian Dressing and added a few pieces of frozen TJ's asparagus at the end. This is it after I cut it up. Not the prettiest picture.
I made some whole wheat pasta.
And tossed some of this on top.
The result was creamy and delicious. The goat cheese gave it a good tang and the sauce was just the wine + dressing from the chicken and olive oil from the tomatoes + the roasted garlic smushed up in there.
This morning it was an EM w/cheddar for breakfast.
Lunch is a lot of leftovers. A mix of last night's dinner and my risotto from the other night. It's too much for lunch really but I could not decide what I wanted.
And now I'm off for some more retail therapy. I have a Lord and Taylor coupon and I'm not afraid to use it. ;)
Happy Thursday one and all!
Looks yummy! Yay for new running shoes. I love new work-out gear.
