Plugging away

I made a checklist this morning of lots of things I have needed to take care of. There are 26 items on the list, and I have made my way through 11 of them, so that feels good. My plan is to get through them by the end of the week, but I'd really like to finish them by Wednesday. I haven't tackled any of the really time consuming ones yet, so those are going to be a bit more challenging.

I've done my grocery shopping for the week, so there is no excuse not to make healthy choices for my meals. Tonight I'll be making an herb-roasted chicken with low-fat mashed potatoes, green beans and corn. I can't remember the last time I had corn, but it must have been a holiday. I remember the days when I actually counted corn as a vegetable! LOL... those were the days. ;-)

I very rarely make mashed potatoes as well, because I know it's not the best use of my calories, but I think a small serving of them will be just fine. I'm Irish - I can't have a meal like this without the potatoes!

I bought a bunch of fun frozen veggies at the grocery store today. I have lots of frozen meat, and I still have leftovers from the roasted vegetable/sausage orzo dish, and I know I'll have plenty left over from the chicken as well, so I won't need to cook again until Wednesday night, I'm guessing.

Lunch is a challenge for me lately. Other than leftovers, I can't think of anything I want. I overdid it with the Joseph's tortilla wraps, and now I'm sick of them. I've also had salad for lunch thousands of times, so that's getting a bit old too. I try to avoid frozen lunches, because they are made with such unnatural food...sometimes finding foods to eat just gets to be annoying. Leftovers are key, because I always like them. I just need to remember to cook dinner, and we'll be all set!

I have a root canal scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. That was one of the items on my list. I haven't been to the gym yet, but I'll probably go tomorrow. I know it's fairly pointless, but I just don't want to get too terribly off track with my routine.

I guess that's all the news that's fit to print.

You remember when you counted corn as a vegetable. Who are you??

Too funny. Thanks for blogging. Can you do tomorrow's much early. Your fans wait for these.

Enjoy the mashed potatos

I know exactly what you mean about corn... not counted as a veggie, it's a grain, a bread, a carb... I learned that in Weight watchers many years ago - TJ hasn't got a clue about dieting.

I am also in the same boat as you w/ lunch, don't want to eat frozen dinners, sick of the wraps and salads so it's left over city for me too... they work!

have fun w/ your root canal and getting 11 done out of a list of 26 is pretty good... prittay prittay good!
