Gah!

I have been woefully negligent in posting to this blog. Mostly because I'm finding it harder than I thought to be healthy in 2010. I have good weeks, but then a couple weekend days of Sonic cheeseburgers and greasy dive breakfasts throw me off. But enough of the b*tching; this is a new week with new resolutions!

First, I went to Trader Joe's yesterday and practically bought the whole store. My favorite acquisition? Their "Fiberful" bars. Just like a Fruit Roll-Up, but with 60 calories, no fat and 6 (yes, 6!) grams of fiber. Not really a lot of protein but for a sweet snack after a meal, they are perfect!


This week's meals include:

- slow cooker butternut squash soup (that promises to be creamy without cream or butter) with salads as my lunches;
- risotto with low fat jalapeno cheese and roasted red peppers (dinner);
- cilantro-lime chicken with brown rice (dinner);
- and a couple of other items TBD.

I will also be registering this week for the BAA's 2010 5K. I ran it last year and it's a great race - all downtown (read: easy terrain) and it's the day before the Boston Marathon, so they have you finish at the same finish line as all the hardcore runners. Way cool!

And finally, a huge shout out to Amy! She has total perseverance - she has made it through two months of WW, keeping to the healthy food and exercising, and she's still updating the blog! And not only updating, but channeling Tina (of Carrots n Cake!) to make the posts even better by adding pictures of her food. Plus, who am I kidding - I am envious of her Fiestaware!
