March Goals

Finalized March goals. Oddly, I'm already halfway through my workout goals for the month!

I blew off Friday afternoon after my counseling appointment and met my friend SD for a leisurely stroll around Lake Calhoun. Yay Spring!

AB's 30th birthday party was Saturday night. We had a blast. Stayed up too late. Chatted with several friends we don't see too often. And for some dumb reason at about 12:30 I started stuffing my face with pears, chips&salsa, and little cubes of cheddar.
At 5/6am I was visited by a nasty bout of acid reflux. And then went back to bed until 1/2pm.

We finally made it to REI! So odd. I usually visit REI about once a year. Lost gloves in December - all the other stores have moved on to bathing suits - REI always has gloves.

This time it felt sort of welcoming! Like I semi-belonged looking at camping gear and high-tech exerclothes! CC weren't on the same page as far as what camping gear we were picking up this year (I'd forgotten that he hasn't spent hours on REI's website). We were going to buy titanium sporks, but decided to wait on everything.

Finally, we've finally started getting serious about diet. In order to make menu planning a bit easier, I've assigned each day to a different group (and have just typed that, I'm struck, once again, by what an anal nerd I truly am):

Wholey Sunday
Tofu Monday
Beany Tuesday
Wednesday - varies (dinners with the Trio)
Thursday Sandwiches or Pasta
Fish Fridays
Random Saturdays

Last night we had bulgar and sesame chicken stirfry (with fake chicken strips). The bulgar took the place of brown rice. Very delicious and filling!

Tonight is tofu! Actually tonight we're having Korean, inspired by this months issue of Gourmet magazine. We stopped at United Noodles yesterday for supplies.
I'm excited for:
Tofu with garlic and pepper sauce (with authentic Korean hot pepper flakes),
Sauteed oyster mushrooms, and
Kimchee (from a jar)
