Weekly Eats: Monday Dec 4 - Sunday Dec 10

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads

Weekday Breakfasts:

Trader Joe's cereal bar and string cheese 

Scrambled eggs with cheese, mushrooms, green pepper, onion, and sausage (veggie mix leftover from the weekend)

And finally, breakfast burritos!  Let the record reflect that I went nearly two weeks without eating a single breakfast burrito

Weekend Breakfasts:

Breakfast Burritos
Over easy egg on toast with bacon

Weekday Lunches:

M&W: Thai Sweet Potato bowls leftover from last weekend

T: Spinach artichoke pasta from the freezer

H: Chili mac leftover from the previous night

F: All day company Christmas Party.  Nibbles and champagne cocktails.

Weekend Lunches:

Family brunch

 

Weekday Dinners:

M&T (family meals): leftover tacos from the weekend.

W (date night): Chili mac and cornbread muffins. 

Thursday: (fend for yourself night): a quick quesadilla. 

Friday: More chili mac.

Weekend Dinners:

Saturday: Double party night.  Snacks at a family birthday party and all the foods at a friend's Christmas party.

Sunday (family meal):  Calming it down after all the parties.  I asked my special someone to whip us up grilled cheese sammies and tomato soup.

Food Prep: none, will eat off our stash of freezer leftovers for early week dinners and lunches.

 

Christmas Prep: Eggnog Fudge (half of it is going to work, half of it is set aside for Christmas Day)

Other:   

In spite of all the treats, I really am watching my weight and keeping it lean on non party days.

Workouts: the usual treadmill runs and walks.  Sacrificed weights to meet the mileage for my work cardio challenge.  Two more weeks at 26 miles per week and we're done.

Watching (from the treadmill): Finished up season 2 of Glitch, back to Call the Midwife.
Watching (from the couch): Caught up on Brooklyn 99 on date night, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, and the season finale of Outlander.

Reading: Lilac Girls
