This will still be a short post because things, as they often are after vacation, are a bit confused and messy at the moment. Olivia just headed to bed for the first time in a week without a grandmother to sooth her as well as with a distinct bedtime... we expect a long night there.
Nearly our first task upon returning to town (around 4p) was to do some grocery shopping. I did this solo as we figured Olivia would prefer some time at home instead out walking yet again. I grabbed (what seemed to be) tons of veggies of all different colors and flavors thinking we'd be just fine for a while. I came home, began sorting out how to prepare them, then went about the chopping and cooking.
Eventually we realized we'd need to eat dinner, so we did: shrimp, pasta, veggies. Shrimp are small. They don't weigh a lot...
After dinner and while Susan was prepping Olivia for bed, I started to tackle breakfast / lunch packing. Wow. All those veggies? Tremendously reduced. Somewhat lucky for me, though, is the fact that I like tomatoes (and Susan doesn't) and they weigh a lot, so I'll be eating one over two meals. I'm short a protein for lunch tomorrow, though, so I still have to sort that bit out...
Wow... I thought we ate a lot on vacation, but this is wild. Plus I have to figure out how to get these longer exercise routines crammed in before work, yet combine that with 8+ hours of sleep!
The thought had already crossed my mind, but maybe the vacation should have been a day or two shorter to give us a better recovery window...
You gotta eat if you want to get Peaky! Eat!
ReplyDeleteYou have done so well while on vacaction, it will be a doddle from here.
ReplyDeleteYes, you and Susan will find your rhythym before you know it!
ReplyDeleteI hard boil 6 six eggs everyday to have a standby protein if I'm short on time or portions. If I don't eat them my kids husband or kids do.
ReplyDeleteNicole - I dig eggs, but I might turn into a chicken if I eat too many more. At the moment I'm on two for breakfast and a white as an evening snack! It's a good point, though, that they are a good 'gap' coverage if I get stuck.
