I must remember to sleep enough. Last night, for example, I didn't sleep enough. Tonight will be a different story! In bed at 10pm at the latest! Speaking of sleep, I need to figure out my ideal necessary sleep time so next week I have a project for myself. I will be going to bed at 9:30 each night and seeing what time I wake up naturally and that will be my new sleep budget! LOL! Budget...that's funny!
Food today:
Meal 1: 1 cup Cheerios w/ 1/2 c milk and 1/2 scoop protein powder
Meal 2: 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/2 an apple, 1/4 scoop protein powder
Meal 3: 1 pork loin chop, 2 cups salad, 1 T balsamic vinaigrette, 1/2 cup mashed potatoes
Meal 4: Think Thin creamy peanut butter bar
Meal 5: 1 cup Cheerios

My workout was Gina's 2nd Circuit Workout! It was funny and quick to do.
I'm going to make some zucchini loaf tonight and also maybe some apple fritter muffins too. We'll see. I'm also going to relax with a little crochet to just pass some time while my goodies are baking.
Today was a good day and I'm grateful for all the good that exists in this world and particularly in my life. Thank you, thank you!

Caesar Salad Dressing
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 T white vinegar
1 T grated Parmesan
2 anchovy fillets
1-2 garlic cloves
1 T lemon juice
1/2 T Worcestershire
1/2 T olive oil
water
Blend all in blender until creamy. With the blender on, pour water in top hole and continue to blend. Add water to desired consistency. Pour over romaine. This is pretty tangy so if you like things sweeter, you may want to add some stevia. Enjoy!
Broiled Shrimp
pressed garlic
paprika
cayenne
olive oil
(salt if desired)
Mix ingredients together to make a paste. Marinate shrimp for about 5-10 minutes. Broil 2 minutes on one side and 1 minute on the other.
Yummy! Enjoy!
