Day 5 Recap: I think we all sort of “fear” the weekend when we are trying to lose weight. But I have done really good this weekend! Planning my meals really helped. On Day 5 I did yoga and 30 minutes on the treadmill. I also drank my water with no problem and did a blog post. I counted my calories, even with a higher calorie dinner than I’m normally used to. And I munched maybe a little too much at Girls Night, but I had the calories saved for it and had a great time (we will talk about all of this below). All in all, it was a great Day 5!
I am not a good cook… and in the past I haven’t done it very often. But since Leonel was born, I am cooking everyday and trying new things. I’m still not great at it, but I am getting by. One thing I have never made is chicken parmigiana. I feel like most people have made this, but I don’t really cook Italian food in general and I actually don’t like red sauce. I have been craving it though, so I figured I would give it a shot. I found this recipe and it turned out really good. It just took a really long time to make, used a lot of dishes, and then you eat it in 10 minutes and I feel like it was too much work, haha. My dinners normally just consist of a vegetable and some chicken. So this was a nice change and something to enjoy every so often.
Then I headed to girls night which was really nice to get out of the house and feel like an actual human being. I made a little fruit tray to take.
But the star of the show were the boards my friend made. She is SO talented with these and I truly think people would pay an ass ton of money for her to make them for parties. Also, you can see why I munched so hard, haha… I can’t get over how beautiful they are.
I had to make this picture huge because I really need you to understand how beautiful these are. *Chefs Kiss*
We made some room spray and some “botox in a bottle” with essential oils. I know nothing about essential oils, but now I need to know it all. I know there are MLM’s that sell them and I have absolutely no interest in that bullshit, but I want to know about the oils! They do so many things! They smell so good! You can mix them like a little chemist!
It was such a great night. It was relaxing, with great friends, we got to be creative, and I got to feel like more than a mom.
I would say Day 5 was a success. Also, if you know things about oils, tell me! Tell me the things!
