sunday afternoon randomness
Oct. 19th, 2008 03:10 pm* tomorrow is my official weekly weigh-in day for WW, and i can't wait. according to jack's scale this morning, i'm down almost 6 pounds. in the first week. i never lose weight that quickly, i'm pretty shocked... i know it'll start to slow down a bit (which is fine), but what a great jump-start! *happy dance*
* the slow cooker has been my savior for this first WW week... it's made it easier for me to eat home-cooked meals instead of getting takeout, and of course it's saved me quite a bit of cash -- i just came from the supermarket, and all of my food needs for the entire week came to $20. that's less than what i pay for lunch over 3 days at work. it's become like a little game for me to see what i can cook that's core-friendly AND will work in the slow cooker. i have a batch of split pea soup that just started (i know, i'm an addict) for my lunches, and before i go to bed i'll fill the crock with the ingredients for my dinner all this week. sweet.
* SNL has been nailing the political stuff over the last few weeks. i caught a video of last night's weekend update, where amy poehler did that sarah palin rap, and i literally laughed until i cried. and i have to say, even though i'd never vote for her, sarah plain actually sitting there and being a good sport about it was damn cool. i can't even imagine being a writer on that show, writing stuff that will skewer a person who's going to be sitting on the stage while it all goes down. they are so brilliant.
* what to do for the rest of the day, what to do... i could finally do the "summer-to-winter" clothing changeover, or i could sit and finish the book i've been working on for forever. hrm.
