ONE MORE YEAR!!

Dude.  Paul starts school tomorrow night. He's studying tonight...ggrr.  So, time to get back into the habit of making dinners NOT on the fly and cleaning my house - both which have been neglected the past five weeks or so and I don't care!  We had an awesome mini-summer with the family and I'm happy to have spent so much time doing fun stuff rather than doing crappy junk like cleaning my house and planning meals.

BY the way, I found a new love in Costco (do you have those?).  I buy most of my fresh food at costco these days.  Milk, eggs, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, fruit, etc is always in the fridge, always eaten for breakfast, dinner and  lunch and I just love it.  ADDITIONALLY, a few months ago my A1C was high (Boo diabetes) so I've been working at lowering it and yesterday my results from eating a  healthier lifestyle were huge and my A1C was a normal level this time.  WAHOO to that!!   I've been doing a food diary for almost a month now and really kind of love knowing exactly what I ate and how many calories and carbs I've been consuming - oh, and by the way, I'm down 5 more pounds since I started the diary...VICTORY!

Here we go.

Tonight:  Grilled Brats, Grilled Corn on the cob - because it was so dang nice outside!!

Tomorrow: Paul has school on Fridays - SUCKY!  We will likely have taco's and sit home twiddling our thumbs until he comes home because we won't know what to do.

Saturday:  My niece Kaylas 2nd birthday party - dinner is made by family!  Wahoo!!

Sunday:  Noonans over for dinner.  Grilled Bulger Bean burgers or Sweet Potato bean burgers - we will see if I have time to go get some Bulger or not since time is not on my side anymore (sniff, sniff). 

Monday:  Chef salads to use up the rest of the veggies from the fridge and that are ripe from our garden.

Tuesday:  I'm thinking some kind of adult-ish grilled melted cheese sandwich w/ tomatoes from the garden and good cheese and I'll make some pesto with our abundance of basil...yum!

Wednesday:  I don't know, I can't get off how good Tuesday sounds!  Maybe I will have leftovers and the boys can have pancakes.

Thursday: Garlic or ranch chicken.

Friday:  Meat loaf cupcakes

Saturday - this is a half marathon day (I think!?)  Hopefully I can finish it and hopefully I'm not dead tired!  I haven't been running more than 8 miles in a really long time - though I did do 17 in less than a day last weekend..hhmm...I'm sure I'll finish but it might not be pretty :)

Have a great week, Ann!!
