Day off

Yesterday was a very South Beach unfriendly day. Saturday night I was starting to feel a cold coming on, by Sunday morning I was stuffy, scratchy, achy and exhausted. I ended up taking Hannah to bed with me when she woke up so I could get more sleep.

By the time lunch rolled around it was pretty obvious that I wasn't going to be the one cooking. Luckily I had a few pounds of ground beef precooked so Eric was able to boil some water and cook some pasta and add some sauce and have lunch for us. I decided, being sick and not wanting to be difficult I would take the day off of dieting. For dinner we ended up having pizza.

After dinner I went grocery shopping. I did pretty well. I got some cheese, Jell-o, lots of veggies and some bread and sides for Eric and the kids. I also found some sugar-free Dove chocolates :-D. I did buy a serving sized Ben & Jerry's cherry garcia. I figured if I were going to take a day off, I might as well enjoy it. :)

This morning I'm back to my South Beach ways. I'm off to cook breakfast now and looking forward to finally having some cucumbers and celery in the house :) I'm not looking forward to the 12 breasts of chicken I have to cook, but easy meals make keeping on task easier and if I'm going to spend the time and make the mess, I would rather only have to do it once.
