After Dinner

So I ate dinner. I thought that by just making half of a third of a bag of pasta that I would get a small portion. It wasn't that big, but it was more than I needed.

I am now full.

While I was eating, the not hungry husband went to the store and got himself the fixings of a hot fudge sundae. He ate it. He also brought in cat litter (which had been sitting in my car) and now hopefully he will change it. If he doesn't, Elwood might get mad, and a mad Elwood pees on things that Adam uses.

Check out the "boys" on my first blog ever.

I do not think I will have a hot fudge sundae. I'm glad he didn't get chocolate chip meringues or even coffee ice cream with chocolate sprinkles!

Ok. Now is confession time. I had a some of the ice cream. Brigham's vanilla. I had about a serving - 3/4 of a cup and then some Brigham's hot fudge. Just because it was yummy.

And now for dinner

I forgot to add that my snacks today were an orange and a granny smith apple. I almost had some microwave popcorn, but opted for the apple.

Now I am home and the husband is not hungry, because he had food from a fast food joint that I cannot mention. It is one place that I won't even eat (and it is not Taco Bell). Now he wants ice cream. This is why I am fat.

So...I am having a cup of pasta (the regular kind), broccoli rabe and some ricotta cheese. I might also sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on it.

I also did some strength exercises, mostly because it is too yucky to go for a walk. I'll have to plan to go early tomorrow.

3:55 is the witching hour

I'm hungry again. Or maybe I'm bored. The weather is nasty out and I am trying to figure out what to do for some activity tonight.

Mostly, I'm trying to blog when I get hungry to see if there is another answer -- i.e. -- boredom, and to track my progress.

This post is probably boring for everyone else, and you are all thinking. Is she always hungry? The answer is no, but 78% of the time I am.

I made it to lunch

I ate lunch, sort of late. I had some of those beets - and I am positive that when I walk tonight, I will sweat magenta.

I decided to enter my food into Sparkpeople, because I'm copying my friend the lover of beets. This is for informational purposes only - not to get crazy about counting calories.

I had leftovers for lunch - the pasta with artichokes, olives, feta and sun dried tomatoes. I'm thinking about food again, but that's probably because the husband is going to be home tonight, and normally he is at class tonight so. . .that throws a wrench in my plans for dinner.

Now to think of something that the husband will eat. Or else call the husband and send him to the supermarket to get something he would eat. I was going to do something with brocolli rabe. Brocolli rabe is not a food that the husband eats.

Poor husband, does not have any idea how yummy it is! He just sees all that green and gets nervous.

It's 11:49

I only had an orange. Luckily there was nothing else around to tempt me. I shall now make it to lunch of leftovers.

Starving?

I am not going to starve, but I am hungry.

I had Steel Cut Oats this a.m. Now it's 10:14 and I'm hungry. I have some snacks: an orange, an apple, beets and then my lunch. I also have emergency microwave popcorn.

I am reticent to eat more red beets. I think if I do, I might just start sweating magenta.

Meatloaf?

I bought some ground dark turkey meat and some ground beef (93% lean) at Whole Foods yesterday in anticipation of making meatballs.

I changed my mind. Instead I found a recipe on Cooking Light for Meatloaf and modified it. I think I modified it to make it a little fattier (the recipe called for egg whites and I used whole eggs). I also decided that I would use half turkey and half meat. So I divided the recipe in two, and mixed it in two bowls. Then I made two half-sized loafs and mushed them (mushed is the technical word) together and coated them in ketchup.

The husband liked it and said he would eat it again. Next time I will use the meat combination suggested in the recipe of beef, veal and pork. I also liked it and I normally do not like meatloaf.
I also made some asparagus, that I marinated in garlic salt and olive oil. I have a lot of leftovers. The husband claims to like it, but picked it up, looked at it, and put it back down. More for me!

Accountability: I did some strength training and some walking today, but mostly I did stuff around the house and also worked.

Oh I almost forgot...the reason why I should not have any snack like food in the house - I ate STALE whole wheat crackers. 7 of them. I was hungry (it was before I ate the pasta at lunch time).

I also had a banana - but that was a good choice.

The husband is looking for snacks. We have no snacks except for some leftover stale wheat crackers, which I would not recommend.
