My Weekend and Hint of Onederland

It has been a really warm winter so far for us, and we have only had dustings of snow. At the end of last week we finally got about an inch or so where I am. Here is a picture of it actually snowing while I'm getting ready to drive to work.

On Friday I went to the gym after work. I made it to the gym a total of four times this week. I did my strength training plan with the machines three times and spent one time on the treadmill. Speaking of treadmill, I'm highly considering trying to fit as much as a C25K training in by the end of march so I can participate in a virtual 5K. The prizes are random and not by time, so that is right up my ally. Also, I can just run around my neighborhood and everyone will just think I'm working out and not doing a 5K which is fine by me considering how slow I'll probably be. ;)

Friday night I made singing game night for myself. I went online and played some Beatles Rock Band since I haven't done that forever. It is amazing how I can still play songs on hard and do good after not playing for so long. I guess I really know my Beatles.

I also played some Sing Party too. I'm trying really hard to get good at a couple of songs for when I play with my friends. I'm working on "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen and "Alone" by Heart. They are both kinda harder songs too.

Saturday morning I spent meal planning and grocery shopping. I had a big haul this week for groceries and other necessities.

Saturday afternoon I took my first quiz of my grad school career online. I was panicking because she gave us four hours to take this 25 question quiz. It ended up taking me only 36 minutes and I managed to miss one question. How do you miss a question on an open book test?

The rest of Saturday was spent going through my stash of gifts for people throughout the year and getting things organized. I'm pretty close to being finished with that. It is nice to not freak out when you need a gift for someone and just go down to the basement and find one waiting there.

Saturday night I found Sebastion under the fitted sheet and comforter on the futon. All I saw was part of his head sticking out. The dogs had a really lazy weekend!

Sunday I spent mostly cleaning, looking at stuff online, and cooking for the week. Here is the meal plan for this week:

 

 

I also randomly saw a limo sitting on our little side road.

Oh, and I forgot that I did some reading for my ethics class too. Lilly decided to help...

Anyways, back to the food. I made a recipe that I haven't made for a year- BLT pizza. I even found a refrigerated pizza crust that was made with whole wheat flour.

I also made some brown rice noodles and chicken for lunches. I'm going to top them with spaghetti sauce. I have never had brown rice noodles, so I hope that they taste good.

I made my usual pumpkin muffins, but failed to turn the oven down to the right temperature after making the pizza crust,so I burnt them! They don't taste nearly as good burnt. :(

Here's the pictures of the fridge all organized for the week:

Breakfast

Snacks

Dinner

Lunch

It is really slick and icy out here right now. My front steps are patches of ice that I almost fell on taking the dogs out.

I've also lost a good amount of weight this week too. I'll have that for tomorrow's weigh-in, but I will tell you that I've unofficially won my Diet Bet and I'm in Onederland!
