week in review - Jan 16-20

Monday:

Miss C had didn't have school due to MLK day.

My lunch: can of soup and banana

(quickly thrown into my purse on the way out the door)

Tuesday

Miss C's day off

My lunch:

Crockpot spinach lasagna (lean ground beef, tons of spinach, minimal cheese),

spring mix salad & blueberries

I'm trying this healthy eating thing where moderation is key...

before, the bigger portion of the container would have been filled with lasagna.

I'm learning.

Wednesday:

Miss C's lunch was turkey roll ups with carrots,

blueberries, rice cakes and yogurt.

My lunch:

Chili w/1/2c rice & banana

(p.s. just in case my bootcamp trainer is reading this, its made of lean ground beef,

diced tomatoes, and beans, just 1/2 c [measured] of rice, and 1 tbsp of cheese".)

Thursday:

Miss C's lunch:

turkey & cheese teddy bear sandwich

teddy grahams, grapes & pudding cup

My lunch:

spring salad with sliced turkey, apple.

(confession: i did have an apple pie at lunch that was brought it

by a former coworker from Peru who came to visit)

Friday:

Miss C's: "breakfast for lunch" (she still thinks this is the silliest thing ever!)

rice krispies+coco krispies mix (with milk)

apple & yogurt w/sprinkles.

My lunch:

I won't say what I got there cuz it wasn't healthy! Ha!

Zumba tomorrow at 10am to make up for it!
