Have I Gone 'Cooking Mad'??

Eating in moderation is something I’ve been trying to control a bit better lately. It’s so easy to say “Eh, I’ll just have  a grilled BLT” at lunch. And the hardest thing is that I act on impulse probably about 50% of the time and about 100% of that activity is having to do with eating or drinking. I love my food and I love my drinks. I love to eat different foods and try different things and I love restaurants (even though I’ve cut back since now having my own kitchen to cook in). 

havingcompany+havingyourownkitchen+lovingtocook+havingleftovers= gainingweight:(

Well... my weekend involved having company... again. What can I say? We like to entertain. We like to have guests. We know a lot of people. Sometimes that's a bad thing, sometimes it's a good thing.

I got two wisdom teeth out on Saturday morning and came right home with gauze still in my mouth and cut up veggies and threw some frozen chicken into the crock pot, set it for four hours, took pain killers and passed out on the couch. The runny nose began and my cold finally hit its peak. FML. Seriously.

I ate my soup, with Maia all up in my bowl. LML. Then went back into the kitchen to make my banana pudding. What’s wrong with me? Can’t I just sit down and let myself heal? Apparently not.

While I wrapped up the last stages and gave my whipping arm a rest I had one of these...

Why does my life always end up this way?? Hmm?? ;)

A friend of ours had a birthday celebration and I originally said I’d go. Then realized I should probably stay home and let my mouth unswell. With painkillers I was fine so we went out. We were supposed to bowl but Kings was packed. We played pool and had a couple of drinks. By the end of the night they were ready to bowl at 12am. Our lane was ready. I was ready for bed. We took off and hit the sack.

M had work the next morning and I slept until 10:15am. This is sooo not me. I was up all night sneezing and coughing and blowing my nose. Maia gave me the stink-eye a few times. She hates me sometimes haha. M’s parents were coming by so I knew that I needed to get up clean the entire house and go grocery shopping. I came back cleaned some more (because I’m a psycho) and got to making tacos and a spinach bread bowl in a marble bread bowl (sour dough and pumpernickel). Good stuff.

While I sat and had a glass of water (with my crazy ass self), Maia proceeded to continue to bite her fingernails. She’s sharpening them. I don’t know maybe she’s planning to kill me in my sleep or something. Psycho dog I have. Look at these claws.. why!!

Look at those nails. I had to cut them again this morning. She WILL be going to the doctor's this Saturday for her annual exam and hopefully we can check out a couple of doggy daycares in the area. This little lady needs to get off her hiney and mingle. She needs a man! Haha.

So anyways, instead of going home and having a "stress relaxer" aka "a glass of wine", I’ve made this my first night of BodyRock.tv. Zuzana Light is just insane with her workouts. I’ve decided to take it slow but this year getting in shape for summer does not need to be an option. It’s a goal that I’ve set extremely high for myself. I used to be a basketball and volleyball player. The past 9 years I’ve turned into a slob. I have no energy and I’m exhausted. It’s time for a change.

Happy Humpday!
