I was so tempted to just heat up a Lean Cuisine for dinner last night…..<\/p>\n

I was on my own for the night. The boys took off to do boy things. Since it was a Rest Day, I decided to use my time wisely and run errands. Library, grocery store, dyed my hair, cleaned the bathroom, did laundry, and got sucked into hours of Netflix TV.<\/p>\n

It would have been super easy to just heat up a frozen meal and call it good. I was very tempted. And I was feeling very lazy. I decided to suck it up and make something. Oy.<\/p>\n

First, I cooked some plain whole wheat Couscous. Opened a can of chickpeas:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then I steamed broccoli and tossed both on top of the couscous.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then I drizzled some Goddess Dressing on top of everything. Fairly low in calories for the whole thing and I was filled up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I also munched on some green grapes after dinner. Something else that saved a lot of calories? Not drinking wine with dinner. It’s amazing how many calories I save by NOT drinking. Which sucks because I love wine, I love trying new wines, I love wine-tasting. But really, who can just stop with one glass of wine? Those calories add up fast!<\/p>\n

Today (Wednesday) Michael’s father and step-mom arrive from Texas. They will be visiting until Sunday. The step-sister and boyfriend arrive on Thursday and will be visiting until Sunday as well. Jeremy is still here with us too. So I think the plan for the next few days is a lot of EATING OUT! Gasp. Michael told me our dinner plans for the next 5 days and I think we are hitting every good restaurant in Portland. Which is understandable because they are also the favorite restaurants of the family visiting! It’s all good……<\/p>\n

I will be strong.<\/p>\n

I will be strong.<\/p>\n

I will be strong.<\/p>\n

I will…..be…..oooh is that cheesecake?<\/p>\n

Oh.<\/p>\n

I will BE strong!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
