Love Mondays

Unlike a lot of people Mondays are my favourite day of the week.  After a relaxing weekend I love nothing more then sending my kids off to school and having a very productive day on my own.    Today I am heading to Step Class at 930am, followed by an hour with Rita - not sure how I will be feeling after all that torture.  Racing home to shower and then meeting Jamie to do a little shopping at Masonville for the afternoon.  Race to pick the kids up from school, grocery shopping at some point in there, dinner, homework.....a scheduled routine is what I need everyday.

Have I mentioned that Tom and I leave for Vegas this Thurs?  Vegas is one of my favourite places on Earth - the best shopping, great eating and relaxing around the pool.  I am so excited.  And I know that in Vegas my healthy eating will not be a problem at all.  We have a reservation Friday night at the Capital Grille which is my all time favourite steakhouse and Saturday night we reservations at STK which is a very famous celebrity steakhouse.  A huge change in my life is that I very rarely go to Italian restaurants anymore when that was all I went to "before".  Now I seek out great steakhouses or seafood restaurants where I can get a beautiful filet and veggies or cracked crab, ahi tuna salad....yummy, i can taste it now.

Todays food:
Up at 730am - got kids up and ready.
845am - my morning shake.
Between step class and Rita I will have a protein shake to keep my energy up.

For lunch today I will be on the run which means I likely won't even miss my potato chips - I will likely have a sandwich today - a 3 inch whole grain roll with off the bone ham which is real ham and a piece of cheese.

Not sure about what I will snack on today - it's been apples and nuts for the most part this past week.

Supper tonight is going to be a chicken and veggie stir fry which we haven't had in ages.  I do it with long grain and wild rice, chicken, all colours of peppers and broccoli - yummy.

So a great day.  and if I get a chance later I am going to blog about my little girl and how proud I am over the choices she has started making on her food.
