Ooops … forgot to hit the Publish button last night.
Let’s start this one with exercise for the last two days. In my post on April 04, I noted that we were getting up early for the bf to go swimming and me to walk. Unfortunately, both of us had issues falling asleep, me not getting to sleep until after 1am. With just 4.5 hrs of sleep, while he swam, I dozed in the car for an hour, listening to the mild rain. I did no other exercise Tuesday, so that was a loss. With high winds Tuesday thru (forecast) Thursday, we also did not walk much today, but I did get off my ass and tried my first Apple Fitness+ Core workout (with my first guided cooldown). I really am out of shape: The light core workout was brutal.
Moving on to food, one of the reasons I’m doing this joint post is that I ended up sort of treating today and yesterday together with food, so I lost those check boxes for not moving things around on my food calendar if I ate or didn’t eat things on a certain day but did on another so’s to balance out the calories and macros. That was convoluted … in other words, I ate something one day but counted it a different day. One of the primary reasons is I made pad see ew (ผัดซีอิ๊ว) last night, and then had part of my left-overs meant for today, last night. I really like that dish, especially since I got a new recipe and started to make fresh rice noodles. Being really low on fat (still), I also tried making milkshakes – sans ice cream – and since I used some heavy cream, that upped the fat for today. Then, because the bf still has a lot of left-overs plus a few things he got from Costco that I won’t eat (seafood paella, for example), I cut out making dinner tonight from the schedule and put in some frozen breaded chicken breasts. That forced a bit more re-arranging.
Then I worked more on the meal schedule since I cut out cooking that dish tonight, and tomorrow I have a mid-day dentist appointment plus will be out a fair bit of the day, so I don’t want to cook. I put in making chili in the evening (bf won’t eat that since it’s spicy), which forced some more re-arranging of the meal schedule. Then, since I had thru next weekend filled in due to the bf’s mom coming to visit, and then we have travel two weeks later, I filled in the blanks, so I have a rough outline of what I’m cooking and eating thru early May. Or, most of the protein / meals are figured out, anyway, but there’s a big hole for a week due to travel, which itself is confusing: Driving from Colorado to Nebraska for a personal trip, then flying from Nebraska to Missouri for work, then driving back from Missouri with my parents to Colorado coming from Ohio.
Fun times?
