weigh-in day.

somehow i managed to not gain weight this past week... considering my circumstances, i'd count that as a minor miracle. i had no exercise, and my healthy eating went to hell. mid-week i'd run out of food to make at home, and i was frustrated and ouchy, so my meals became whatever was easy to get and comforting -- chinese takeout, boston market... a frappuccino for lunch on the way home from the doctor... i even had a brownie batter blizzard for dinner both nights this weekend. bleh. (but yeah, it was good.) i could definitely feel the slump in my energy level, and i'm glad to have that week behind me so i can get back on track.

i've already made my meals for the week so that everything's easy to heat up when i get home (pork chops in the crock pot -- they're falling apart from the slow cooking, soooo good), and i'm going to try walking after work a couple of nights this week. lets see if we can get the scale moving downward again, instead of being at a standstill.

-------------------------------------

on a separate note, when did it become the trend to add "...the musical" at the end of the title of every new broadway show? "billy elliot - the musical"... "shrek - the musical"... " do we really need to spell it out? is anyone really going to go see it on broadway and be shocked that they're not showing the movie on a screen? when "grease" made it onto film, they didn't call it "grease - the movie". it's starting to get annoying.

(no subject)

got through a full day of work without incident, although the back started to go "helloooooo!" around 2pm and kept saying hi for the rest of the day. so the rest of the evening will be spent on my back on the couch. great. at least there's a cool spring "is it or isn't it going to rain" breeze coming through the windows, which is one of my favorite smells ever. now i just have to find something decent on TV to pass the time... last night it was "religulous" via on demand, maybe i'll finally break out the "eyes of tammy faye" netflix DVD i've had for about 6 months now.

in other news: veggie recipes. i needz them. do you have any good veg side dish recipes i could steal? i'm getting sick of "raw" and "steamed".
