2 pounds down!

Man it's so hard to make time for this blogging thing! Warning: this is going to be a random and photo-less blog! I have too much to do tonight!

My weigh-in last week says I'm down 2 pounds. Hooray! I had some really good workouts last week.

I need some good protein-packed vegetarian recipes for a picky eater. Lent is here, and so I can't eat meat on Fridays. Cheese pizza every Friday is not a good option, so I need some help! Also, I gave up French fries for Lent. I didn't think this would be a big deal because I don't feel like I eat them very much. But this past weekend, it seemed like I was faced with French fries every meal! Somehow, I abstained!

I spent this past weekend in the Quad Cities with Nels. He has his mom's house all to himself since she lives with her new husband and she is trying to sell the house. Of course, there was absolutely no food in the house because Nels doesn't cook anything for himself. So we ate out a lot this weekend - yummy sandwiches from Hungry Hobo and we had some excellent Thai food Saturday night! I had chicken pad thai and it was delicious!

Normally, we are in Sycamore on the weekends because Nels signed his lease there before receiving a job offer in the QC a few months later. It is really going to suck when his lease is up this summer and we have to drive 2.5 hours to see each other...not looking forward to that at all. I can't wait until one of us finds a job close to one another.

I'm really excited because I FINALLY found an inexpensive, nice one piece swimsuit this weekend, so I can finally get going on swimming my laps at the gym and building up for the triathlon! It's solid black and was $35. After all the floral grandma prints I was running into for $60, it seemed like a great bargain!

Since I didn't get home from the QC till 5:45 and the gym closes at 8 on Sundays, I just did some cardio on the crossramp for 45 minutes. Ramp set at level 10, resistance set at 8, sometimes increased the ramp to 12. I plan on going to the gym to swim tomorrow morning! It's just waking up an hour earlier so not that big of a deal. I'm actually really looking forward to it!

Well, that's it for tonight! Laundry to put away and cleaning to be done!
