LAST WEEK: Pretty good. I had an amazing dinner but ate way too much gluten (my fault completely). I feel very blah for a few days but felt bloated but surprisingly did not look it. I was pretty good until we got to Vegas. That's where I ate also more gluten and drank a lot and I look so bloated I look pregnant. I have to get back on track for the week!
COOKED:
- Meal 1: Chinese chicken with squash noodles and edamame
- Meal 2: Macaroni and Cheese
- Meal 3: leftover macaroni, lemonade chicken with a spicy cranberry sauce (recipe coming this week!)
THIS WEEK:
- I have to get back on the healthy eating train. Vegas I went a bit off the rails and definitely am paying for it today.
MEALS TO COOK:- I am going to get some freezer meals out of the way. Not sure yet but I will get creative!
SLEEP WELL
LAST WEEK: My sleep was okay this week was better until Vegas. See those 5-6 hours of sleep? Yup, Vegas. I did recover well last night. My body is tired but I'm not sleepy, if that makes sense.
THIS WEEK:
Hoping to keep my sleep schedule around 8 hours a night. It hasn't been as hot as night so hopefully that will continue.
EXERCISE WELL
