The last week was particularly packed with activities and stresses, fun things but still stressful. I didn't record my foods, but don't seem to have suffered too much from that so far. I only got one weight lifting session in, but biked over 10 miles for 3 days of the week. All things considered, it was a pretty good show.
I've also been experimenting with Blue Apron meals with ingredients for three meals delivered fresh to my door each week. Some of them have been excellent. They include things like kale, collard greens, and Brussels sprouts which are not normally part of our diet. One recipe had me separate the brussels sprout leaves, chop up the white core, and include them in a salad. It was so sneaky that my husband didn't even notice that he was being served hated Brussels sprouts. He even pronounced the salad "tasty". On the down side, the meat/fish servings are 6 oz rather than my preferred 4 oz, and the veggies are frequently twice the serving size that even I can eat. The salt load can also add up if you add salt and pepper as frequently as they say. The upside is that the food does arrive fresh, and my number of trips to the grocery store have plummeted. I also haven't lost weight with this program. I'll go to my own meals for the next couple of weeks after I cook the two left that were delivered this week.
This is also the first week of a Challenge where we measure our waists weekly. Here's to watching it shrink!
