I'm feeling like s**t today. Is it possible to have a meat and Splenda hangover? Yesterday I had meat at all three meals and I think that is too much for me. Problem was that the idea of eggs for breakfast just wasn't going to fly so I ate a leftover chicken breast. Then, for lunch, I went to Macdonalds and bought a Big Mac, stripped it of it's bun, and ate that while pouring over the nutritional information on the back of the paper placemat....very unsettling. Tom called and asked me if I wanted to go out for dinner and I jumped at that. We went to Logans and, again, I was starving, so...

After a pretty crazy week last week, things are leveling off this week...thank goodness. I haven't felt like eating everything in sight, except for two nights ago.

I'm taking a $20 risk planting this early but they are calling for 80F by Thursday and I just can't stand the thought of missing that warm weather for my peppers and tomatoes. So...hopefully there won't be any more frost or I will have to start over.

Getting ready to plant the veggies, I pulled on some jeans that were way to tight last year (even with the built in stretch). They were BAGGY! It felt so good to work in loose clothes. I felt sooo thin...

Chicken breasts marinated in herbs
Stirfried mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, asparagus, carrots)

Skipped the rice but enjoyed the rest...thanks, sweetheart for making dinner!
