The day was going great till I called to check on Alfie to see if he would soon be ready for pickup -it was 2 hours after his appointment and the groomer is usually pretty fast with him-she told me he was just drying and it looks like it was going to be at least another hour. Well, little man was just about to eat lunch and Ava was getting out of school in a little less than 2 hours so this meant no nap time for him today...
No sleeping toddler and lots to do around the house makes for one out of loop mommy!!! BUT 20 mins after my convo with the groomer she called back and said Alfie would be ready for pickup in 15 mins. yay!!! there was light at the end of the tunnel : ) How cute is this little guy!? <3
Once back home, I got little man to finish his lunch- he's battling a cold right now so eating is not a priority for him lately : ( he did go right to sleep and I got to work on my lunch. I've been loving omelets/scrambles the past couple of days and today was no different. I made an omelet with crumbled bacon, spinach, 2 eggs and topped with fat free feta. The extra protein has been really helping during the day to keep me full. I'm still not a big breakfast person so I've been sticking with a Larabar, nuts or fruit and coffee. It's simple and filling
Dinner was a simple one of whole wheat spaghetti and sausage. it's one of those meals that is a major go too when I don't feel like cooking but I need something I KNOW the kids will eat so I don't have a battle on my hands : )
I've been trying to keep major carbs (rice,spaghetti,potatoes) to one meal a day and keeping my other meals throughout the day low carb and full of protein. I use to follow Weight Watchers old Core plan (no counting points) and it limited those carbs to one meal per day and encouraged grains throughout the day. I believe it's called "Flex" now?? I had huge success with the Core plan and I'm trying to live by those rules again, except this time I'm cooking for a whole family which can be difficult but I'm loving how I feel.
Hope you all have a great night and a fast hump day!!
Pasta is always my back up meal. I just made a really good meat sauce and the kids had it over spaghetti and I had it over spaghetti squash. Loved it.
