Day 163: Trying to Get Back on the Wagon

... because I've been gradually falling off the Year of Fit wagon for the last few weeks. I did break the dessert rule today, but I also went for a great (although incredibly humid) run. That counts for something, right?

• Raisin Bran in 1% milk (breakfast)
• 1/4 of a tortilla w/ mozz and turkey, water
• Minna's yummy salad with a citrus-y cilantro dressing, 1 1/2 of Ami's tortillas, chips, a little bit of guac, a 1/2 c Orangina, water, a triangle of Minna's fruit pizza (birthday lunch provided by my sweet friends)
• 2 slices bread w/ SB, about 1/2 c pasta salad, lots of water, 1/4 c chocolate chips (dinner)
  

Day 162: Father's Day & My 33rd Birthday

Because of the two reasons for celebrating today, there were far too many sweets around -- which is why I'm pleading the fifth.

Day 161: Our First Real Beach Trip of the Summer

The kids and I spent the afternoon in Westhampton Beach while Adam learned all about plumbing (his choice). It was a gloriously perfect beach day.

• 4 pancakes, water (breakfast)
• turkey on WW, pineapple, grapes, pretzels, a few Pringles, a Good Humor ice cream (lunch at Cupsogue beach)
• 1/2 of the best macaroni & cheese I've ever, ever eaten (so good I almost got teary), shell stake in a white wine and gorgonzola sauce (also unbelievably tasty) w/ mashed potatoes & spinach, 1/2 raspberry napoleon(early birthday dinner at Public House 49)

Day 160: Field Day & The Day We Ate at Flos

Abby's team came in 3rd and she was thrilled. For dinner we went to Flo's Famous Luncheonette , which has been in business for 85 years. 85 years! Isn't that amazing? What is also amazing is that we resisted the ice cream. I was so wanting an egg cream or a rootbeer float. Next time.

• Oatmeal Squares in 1% milk (breakfast)
• a hot dog, watermelon, a few bites of bad macaroni salad, chocolate milk (lunch with the kids at the school)
• a bowl of Multigrain Cheerios, a grapefruit Izzy
  
• a toasted chicken club w/ fries and onion rings, some of the kids' pink lemonade (dinner)
  

Day 159: Day Two of Being Cranky and Tired

I can't handle many more days like this. I really, really can't.

• a bowl each of Oatmeal Squares & Multigrain Cheeerios in 1% milk (breakfast)
• a banana
  
• 3 slices deli turkey, 1/2 oz cheddar, a small bowl of Life cereal (lunch)
• chocolate covered pretzels w/ PB, light ice cream (an attempt to get myself out of the funk -- it totally didn't work)
• 1/3 of a blackberry Izzy (Miles and Grace stole the rest)
  
• 3/4 grilled cheese and almost inedible sodium-less TJs tomato soup, 3/4 burned cheddar biscuit, water, some chocolate chips
  

Day 158: The Day I Thought I'd Die from Fatigue

So, so tired today. Unreasonably so. It took me half the day just to take the sheets off my bed -- and the other half to get them into the washing machine. I'm seriously considering leaving them there forever if it means I don't have to trudge down to the basement.

Ugh. I hate low energy days. Let's see if it has something to do with that I ate...

• Oatmeal Squares in 1% milk (breakfast)
• 3 slices deli turkey, Brenna's guac w/ warm tortilla chips, watermelon (lunch)
• Greek yogurt
• chocolate chips & raisins (heavy on the chips)
• 7 cheese tortellini w/ EVOO, parm, sea salt & pepper, water (dinner)

Not too bad. I'm going to go ruin it now with Adam. I kind of made a snack-run after I picked up a few movies for us. We haven't had a relaxing night in a few weeks. We so deserve the treats I bought. :)

Day 157: The Day the Youth Came to Our House to Cook

And we bid farewell to the Macdonald family. They will be missed.

• a piece of toast, a bowl of Honey Bunches in 1% milk (breakfast)
• nonfat frozen yogurt w/ strawberries at Costco (lunch?)
• a grapefruit Izzy
  
• Anika's healthy German pancake, scrambled eggs, water (dinner)
• a mini cheddar muffin, a veggie skewer, a 7-layer bar, 1/2 piece of cake, 1/2 cup orange almond punch (cooking w/ the youth)
