This week my husband and I set out to start the new daily/weekly agendas that we planned on Sunday, but we have failed miserably thus far! 
We’re attempting to adjust our current schedule to get back to a more normal set of hours and actually keep it at that, but it’s not going as planned. We wake up with good intentions, but sometimes we’re easily distracted and run off course or just using whatever it is as an excuse to procrastinate lol. 
Yesterday our reasoning was Mardi Gras! 
And of course, we had to finish watching the last 3 episodes of Six Feet Under in our DVD set. *sigh* So, I started the day off with my pre-workout snack:
1 Honey Graham Clif Zbar (130 cal) with 9g Naturally More peanut butter (45 cal) = 175 calories and actually kept me satisfied for awhile, but instead of exercising, I decided to tackle our bedroom closet that was very unorganized and driving me crazy. So, I did accomplish a few things on my agenda — go me! haha But after that, the rest of the day/night was all downhill. 
We went to the diner around midnight, I had a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant with swiss cheese. It came with fries, I ate like 5 of them and all of the sandwich. It was delish. Other than that sandwich and my earlier snack, that’s the only thing I ate all day, other than 1 cookie. 
That sandwich REALLY filled me up though! Wow, it was fantastic.
The night before we went grocery shopping at Hannaford at like 2:00AM (remember, weird schedule), I came home and cleaned out the fridge, which was another thing on my to-do list this week. I found a lot of yucky things in there, but also some really wonderful things that I didn’t want to waste. One thing was a pound of ground turkey breast that I didn’t feel like cooking, so I left a note for my mom to use it for whatever she wants. When we woke up the next morning, mom made something spectacular out of something very ordinary, that would have otherwise ended up on a bun with some ketchup if left up to me lol.
She made stuffed red bell peppers with lean pork chops in the sauce. They were AMAZING! I do not know the exact recipe, but I do know that the peppers were stuffed with cooked white rice, bread crumbs, ground turkey breast, herbs and spices and then cooked slowly in a huge pot of tomato sauce. DELICIOUS!
It was HUGE! I cut it in half and sprinkled grated pecorino romano cheese over it. So tasty! My mom is a really, really great cook. <3
I have no idea how many calories were in this, but if I had to guess, I’d say around 500-600 cals.
Today I woke up before hubby and had my morning, pre-workout snack. 1 Matthew’s multi-grain English muffin (140 cal) lightly toasted with 18g Naturally More peanut butter (90 cal) and 1 TBSP Whole Foods Everyday 365 Forest Berry Harvest fruit spread (30 cal) with a cup of iced tea made with Truvia that I made a whole pitcher of last night. It comes to about 260 calories and totally YUMMY!
I flipped through a real estate magazine while I munched. We’re starting to look for a house! YAY! (And I guess that counts towards something else on our agenda hehe)
So, another thing on my daily/weekly to-do list is doing multiple blog updates each day, instead of just 1. I’d be doing 3 or 4 mini updates throughout the day instead of 1 big one everyday or every couple of days, what do you guys think? The main reason for my updates being late is that by the end of the day, I’m exhausted and not always in the mood to spend 2 hours doing a very big update, but if I do multiple updates, it will only take a few minutes at a time. Good idea? Bad idea? You don’t care? I’m nuts? lol Let me know what you think!!
