Okay, in an effort to get back on track with my healthier paleo lifestyle, I'm trying to get back into the habit of planning my meals. So! My menu for the week beginning 1/26/15. (Not including snacks--which are mostly fruit, cheese, or coffee--or lunches, which I frequently skip.)

MondayDinner - pan-seared bone-in pork chop; salad with garlic ( Read more... )

Ugh. It's been one of those weeks where every night, I end up dreaming about something unpleasant or someone that I really don't like. I know the stress dreams serve a purpose, like lancing a boil in your subconscious, but they're still not fun.

Tonight is a night for mulled wine, bubble baths, and sadness.

I am going to call Jon and complain to him when he gets out of work, because he's still the most comforting person in my life. I don't think I'm still in love with him, but I definitely still love him. I'm so, so glad that our breakup was (even though this sounds weird) a genuinely ( Read more... )

I've been having this problem where I skip lunch every day, because I don't feel like I have any good, quick lunch options. I could eat leftovers, but I usually end up having those for dinner, too, and that shortens the number of days I can stretch them to, besides getting boring fast. I also usually don't want to cook, since I cook for breakfast ( Read more... )

Well, I was feeling lazy tonight, so instead of the soup or stir-fry I was planning to make, I just did chicken nuggets. They turned out pretty well, though, so here's a quick recipe if you're lazy like me and want to make something vaguely healthy. Serves one, because that's how I cook.

Decided to try to keep track of my nutrition for one day, to ensure that I'm getting about what I need to be in terms of proteins and fats, and not exceeding my carb allowance ( Read more... )
