I'll be honest. This pregnancy hasn't been horrible. I never felt too sick or too tired. But I have been lazy. I used to get so many things done around the house on non-work days and on work days when I am home in the afternoon. I cleaned, organized, made dinner and went for a run. I still am managing to make dinner (see below), but everything else either isn't happening or isn't happening very much. Oy. I think I have made the turn and am feeling less like I have to eat constantly, which is a good thing for the scale and for my running. When I was eating constantly I never felt like the food had digested enough so that I could run. Running has been suffering. I have no idea if I am going to fun my half in June or even if I am going to manage walking it at the rate I am going ;-) So, Missy, you are not alone. Maybe we both are taking a break from running. No problem. We can get back into it together again, just like we did last time!
This week's menu (in retrospect):
Sunday - We were out of town, no dinner necessary
Monday - Leftover Spaghetti with meat sauce
Tuesday - 15 Minute Chicken Parmesan Risotto (one of my FAVORITE dishes... too bad Mya only eats the chicken and Jaeden only tried the dish after 15 minutes of crying that she didn't want it and I bribed her to try some). If you want the recipe, I can get it to you.
Wednesday - Frozen Island Citrus Margaritaville Shrimp and rice (Jaeden only ate the rice because it didn't have any "sauce")
Thursday - "Homemade Salisbury Steak" (a.k.a. Meatloaf). My kids love Salisbury steak, the kind in the Family Size frozen tray that you cook for 45 minutes and Bam! done. But that's not what we had. I made Souperior Meatloaf (meatloaf made with an Onion Soup packet). It is awesome. But to get her to eat it, we told her it was homemade salisbury steak. She was either really hungry or she loved it because - WOW! Did she eat a lot!
Friday - On your own. Dad is working in the evening, so it is leftovers, or breakfast for dinner or something easy....
Saturday - Jaeden loves pizza. Correction, she loves to assemble pizza, but won't eat it. So we are splurging. We are assembling pizzas. Jon and I will eat them, maybe Mya, too, but Jaeden will have something else. Even though she loves to "sprinkle the cheese", etc. Seriously, kid? Are you ever going to eat normal?
That's it! Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Next week's menu coming soon!
