Sunday morning I woke up HUNGRY! I have actually grown to love that feeling in the morning. CJ and I have a ritual where we got to IHOP every weekend. I usually get the Simple & Fit 2 egg breakfast. But, today for some reason, I really wanted oatmeal. So, that is what I got! It was delicious, I mixed in nuts and ordered a side of egg beaters. Breakfast was great and it really kept me full.
Later that day, my sister and I went to my moms house to decorate the Christmas tree. Well, it was more like I decorated the tree, but I loved it. It was a little weird. I have always fantasized about the day that I would host my own Christmas, that I would receive my moms decorations that have been a staple in the house since I was young. Well, today was that day. My mom went through box after box handing things "over" for my house.
Big news! After almost six year together, CJ and I are moving in together (this May)!. While decorating the tree with my family, I expressed dream of our future Christmas celebrations. I love the thought of the holidays. It actually scares me for the thought of the day when I have my own child (I can't wait) because I know I will overdo it, I just can't help it! Well, I want to be the home that everyone comes to on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is full of so much suspense. I want to be the family tradition all the kids look forward to every Christmas eve. Plus, we will all need something to do to entertain our children on that big night! I want to be that house! I want to have a big turkey/ham dinner, presents under the tree, everyone dressed up, Christmas carols, the whole deal! Well these are the words from my mother's own mouth, "why don't we start next year"?... And that we will do!
We had such a good time reminiscing over childhood artifacts that defined our childhood. I was feeling a little guilty about all the beer I had consumed on Saturday, but I was signing Christmas songs and thought to myself, a glass of wine wouldn't hurt. That night we went out to dinner. We ate at an Italian restaurant. I ordered Chicken Caccitorre (I really don't know how to spell it, and I don't feel like looking it up... forgive me). I have been trying SO hard to follow the every 4th day eat carb schedule. Well, no, today is not a carb day and that garlic bread looks amazing...
I left there so full, the meal as mainly protein based (other than the sugar in my marinara sauce). I had a few bites of my mom's eggplant parmesan (oops, it has breadcrumbs and cheese aka CARBS), but I did it! I resisted the garlic bread. I guess you could say I did good (remember what that mean? I didn't overeat). I just kept thinking that even though I ate one plate setting, the whole plate setting. It was probably the size of 3 meals I would eat at home.
It was a great evening with my mom. Other than the fact that we ended up with the police because they thought we were breaking into our own building. Long story, but she didn't know how to use the alarm at her shop... Oh mom! Overall, good weekend, I don't feel that I did anything that I truly regret :)
Breakfast: Oatmeal with nuts, egg beaters, & Coffee
Snack: Peanut Butter & Almonds
Dinner: Salad with House Italian Dressing, Chicken Caccitorre, & 2 glasses of wine
No exercise :(
