Mid-Week Blues

Posted Feb 24 2010 11:15am

Is there such a thing as the Mid-Week Blues? If so, I think I have ‘em. :-?

For some reason, the middle of the week is really tough for me. It’s only Wednesday, but I feel like it should be Friday– yet, Friday is still so far away. Boo! :-? Why can’t we have 3-day weeks?!

Anyway… enough of that!

So, I liked my lunch a lot today! :-D

I started with Crofter’s Superfruit Spread + Barney Butter on a whole wheat Sandwich Thin. I also had some almonds on the side.

Then, I munched on some celery and carrot sticks.

And a big ol’ Gala apple. (I miss my Jazz apples, but the Galas were on sale this week.)

Good lunch. Very satisfying.

I also had a piece of yummy pumpkin bread that someone in the office baked. I just couldn’t resist– it had a light frosting glaze on top. Mmm!

Tomorrow is the last day for Ask Me Anything ! Friday will be my final post with answers.

Boston has so many yummy pizza places… which is your favorite?

Considering how much I love pizza, this is really bad, but I don’t have a favorite pizza place! Isn’t that terrible?!? Bostonians, if you have a favorite pizza joint, please let me know!

Do you ever get drunk after a few drinks? I notice you never drink that much, but sometimes you mention having a headache the next day. Do you ever let loose?

This comment actually cracked me up because I definitely like to enjoy a drink or two… or three! ;-) In the past, I’ve written posts about VinoVoyage , Harpoonfest , Pub Golf , and my college days when I let loose and drank like a fish. I even won the Blogger You Would Most Want to Make You a Cocktail at the Foodbuzz Festival last fall! ;-) Nowadays, I don’t get drunk all that often (I hate the way I feel the next morning), but I still enjoy a 2-3 cocktails each week.

I find I’m struggling to stay on a healthy diet while living with a B-O-Y. If he buys Milanos and opens a bottle of wine … I want Milanos and glass of wine. Have you ever struggled with this while living with Mal?

Yes, of course! For instance, I never ate potato chips until I lived with Mal, but now, I LOVE Kettle Backyard BBQ chips in a weird, sort of obsessive way!

What works for me is keeping Mal’s unhealthy foods separate from mine. Out of sight, out of mind! Mal has his own cabinet where he keeps all of his junk food. So, in my mind, this cabinet is “off limits” to me, so I’m not tempted and I usually forget that his snacks are even there. Plus, I have my own cabinet where I keep my healthy stuff.

P.S. A lot of your questions have already been answered in previous Ask Me Anything posts , my FAQs , and/or Weight Loss Q & A section. Check to see if your question has already been answered in one of these places.
