Yep, restarting the blog. \u00a0I’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. \u00a0(And the housework, this past week. \u00a0Seriously. \u00a0I don’t even want to THINK about people coming over, because it’s that bad. \u00a0I’m in CLEAN ALL THE THINGS mode for the week.) \u00a0But I’m back!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now that life is coming back to semi-normal, I’m setting up a schedule for myself again. \u00a0It’s funny – I used to think I hated schedules. \u00a0I hated planning. \u00a0I was a live for the moment, fly by the seat of my pants kind of person. \u00a0Not anymore. \u00a0I find I get zero done if I don’t have a schedule. \u00a0Is that part of getting older? \u00a0Maybe, but I prefer to think of it as getting wiser.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Part of the scheduling I’ve been doing is meal planning. \u00a0I went mostly gluten-free in November, and we’ve been playing with the Paleo diet ever since. \u00a0Now 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So one of the things you’ll be seeing on Mondays is my meal schedule for the week. \u00a0This week, Argus and I are enjoying the following:<\/p>\n
Monday: baked summer squash with apple chicken sausage stuffing<\/p>\n
Tuesday: pepperoni pizza portabellos<\/p>\n
Wednesday: sweet and sour crockpot kielbasa<\/p>\n
Thursday: swiss and mushroom burgers with sweet potato fries<\/p>\n
Friday: pizza! (because it needs to be easy – that’s launch night!)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This week also marks heading back to the gym and the studio. \u00a0Tuesday morning is studio time, and Monday and Wednesday is swim days at the gym after work. \u00a0I’m determined to get my body health. \u00a0However, 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And I’m feeling pretty damn good right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
