Fitness tracking, menu, grocery list

July 21st, 2012 at 04:43 pm

I've pretty much written off this week in terms of my health goals, but I'm still going to record everything so hopefully I can get back on track next week.

July 18:
10 min. workout: No. 10/18
Calorie counting: Yes, estimated 1,851. 18/18
No night snacks: Success. 16/18

July 19:
10 min. workout: No. 10/19
Calorie counting: Yes, estimated 1,461. 19/19
No night snacks: Success. 17/19

July 20:
10 min. workout: No. 10/20
Calorie counting: Yes, estimated 1,847. 20/20
No night snacks: No, I needed to eat something because I started antibiotics. 17/20

I thought I'd share my menu and shopping list, since I like reading LuckyRobin's. This week we have more eating out scheduled than usual. We've been buying more fruit than usual because it's fresher and cheaper during the summer. Also, during the summer we hardly have to buy any vegetables because we get most of them from our CSA.

    I admit it is interesting to see the grocery and dinner lists. It reminds me that I need to be better about meal planning.

    I am curious about the parsley breadcrumb pasta. How do you make it?

    Hi Robin, I got the recipe from an amazing cookbook with tons of simple recipes for every veg ingredient imaginable: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison.

    Ingredients:
    1 lb. spaghetti
    salt & pepper
    1/3 cup olive oil
    4 garlic cloves, chopped
    1/2 t red pepper flakes
    1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
    1/2 cup mixed freshly grated Parmesan & pecorino Romano (optional; I make my portion w/out cheese)
    1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs crisped in 1 T olive oil

    Cook spaghetti; meanwhile, warm oil w/garlic & red pepper flakes in a wide skillet over medium heat

    As soon as the garlic starts to color, remove pan from heat.

    Drain spaghetti, shaking off excess water, and put in warmed bowl. Pour oil mixture over top and toss with the parsley & cheese.

    Season w/salt & pepper, and scatter the breadcrumbs over the top.

    Thriftorama, it really helps if the whole household is involved. Then planning isn't as exhausting. We take turns cooking and coming up with ideas (though with NT in class, I take a bigger role temporarily). We divide the labor; NT does most of the grocery shopping and about half the cooking, AS makes breads & desserts, I do a lot of the menu planning and about half the cooking.
