Eating for stress - but still within the limits :-)

Wow - what a busy week! Krystal and Alexander were here all this week as Jesse got sick and Krystal wanted to keep Alexander away from him so he didn't get sick. Krystal ended up getting sick and so Mike took care of them during the day and in the evening, I took my turn. I did, however, still do well on my eating plan. :-) However, the weather did not co-operate very well (rain, rain, rain) and so I didn't get much exercise in this week, and even my yoga class had to be missed this week due to a Kindergarten Conference I attended. But, I still lost weight (down 7 pounds now (yay me :-) I made a yummy dinner tonight and the best part was the new side order I cooked up (with Mike's help). It was called Rotini with steamed vegetables - it was made from rotini, broccoli, carrots, peas, potatoes, olive oil, salt and parsley. I wasn't fussed with the potatoes being with the pasta, but the fact that I liked it with only the olive oil and parsley and salt as the 'cover' really was incredulous to me - it was absolutely yummy! I was really leery about whether I would like this dish due to it not having much of a sauce - I was very pleasantly surprised. Mike and I both agreed that next time we would just use the rotini without the potato. I am enjoying some of these new recipes from sparkpeople.com. This morning, breakfast was peanut butter on one slice of toast, yogurt and milk, lunch - turkey burger, snack - granola bar, raspberries, sorbet and supper I have already mentioned. I didn't get my water in today (got some, but not the whole 8 glasses). I find that not having my water bottle at home really makes a difference in whether I get my 8 glasses in each day. I think that I need to make a trip to the store and get another water bottle for home.
