A Solid Effort

I really need to compensate for the utter gluttony of this past weekend. Enjoyable though it was, it's not a good idea to do that on a regular basis.

And I'm not tracking my stuff on FitDay either. But I don't think I did too badly today. I bought lunch at the coffee shop in the adjacent building, but it was veggie soup - Tomato Florentine. And I can't imagine that there could be anything bad in it. It was tomato based, obviously, with chunks of veggies and seashell pasta.

Breakfast this week is simple, since I'm eating at work. I have Quaker Oatmeal Squares, which I measure out into sandwich bags (1 serving = 1 cup). A cup of yogurt, an Archer Farms fruit bar and some green tea, and I call it good.

I made Swedish meatballs for dinner, so that was probably the worst thing I ate today. Although the beef was ground chuck, so it was low in fat, and there wasn't anything else really bad or horribly fattening in it. The sauce was jarred beef gravy (low in fat) and reduced fat sour cream.

I probably should've tracked it, but overall, I don't think I did too badly.

Now...I just need to exercise.

Rich and Kathy's son loves this show on the Canadian network. It's called Nanalan', and it's a show about this little puppet named Mona (she looks like a pea with a body and pigtails) who goes to her Nana's house everyday, and all these magical, wondrous things happen.

Anyway, here's the website, to give you an idea of the characters:
http://www.nanalan.com/welcome.htm

As kid shows go, it's pretty cute and non-irritating for adults. I've already seen several episodes, because it's in almost constant rotation when we're at their house. I don't mind it though.

And yes, I am going somewhere with this...

They had Nanalan' on yesterday when we were there, and it was an episode that I'd already seen. Mona spills a bowl of blueberries on the floor and Nana teaches her how to sweep them up and throw them in the trash (I would've just rinsed them off and eaten them, but this episode was about being clean, and not about how to avoid being wasteful). Then Nana sings a song on her organ...it goes something like this:

"This song's about blueberries. Blueberries roll."

Or some such nonsense.

And then Lance started singing this song. Endlessly. Annoyingly. And he texted the lyrics to me today at work. It caught me at a particularly stressful and weird moment. It was all I could do not to laugh.

And now I'm craving blueberry muffins.

So there you go.
