Yep, restarting the blog.  I’m sorry I’ve let it slide, but I’ve found that there are some things that have to give, and this time, it was the blog.  (And the housework, this past week.  Seriously.  I don’t even want to THINK about people coming over, because it’s that bad.  I’m in CLEAN ALL THE THINGS mode for the week.)  But I’m back!

Now that life is coming back to semi-normal, I’m setting up a schedule for myself again.  It’s funny – I used to think I hated schedules.  I hated planning.  I was a live for the moment, fly by the seat of my pants kind of person.  Not anymore.  I find I get zero done if I don’t have a schedule.  Is that part of getting older?  Maybe, but I prefer to think of it as getting wiser.

Part of the scheduling I’ve been doing is meal planning.  I went mostly gluten-free in November, and we’ve been playing with the Paleo diet ever since.  Now that I have time to cook again, I really want to keep myself fed well, because when I don’t plan, I eat crap, and I feel like crap.

So one of the things you’ll be seeing on Mondays is my meal schedule for the week.  This week, Argus and I are enjoying the following:

Monday: baked summer squash with apple chicken sausage stuffing

Tuesday: pepperoni pizza portabellos

Wednesday: sweet and sour crockpot kielbasa

Thursday: swiss and mushroom burgers with sweet potato fries

Friday: pizza! (because it needs to be easy – that’s launch night!)

I’m also experimenting with zucchini noodles this week, because I have a ton of zucchini this week, and I’d rather not buy gluten-free noodles if I don’t have to. Saving money, you know?

This week also marks heading back to the gym and the studio.  Tuesday morning is studio time, and Monday and Wednesday is swim days at the gym after work.  I’m determined to get my body health.  However, my scale is currently broken (well, it needs a new battery, and I keep conveniently “forgetting” to get one), so we’ll just have to go by how I’m feeling.

And I’m feeling pretty damn good right now.
