LAST DAY!!!! -- that's in theory only, the SIL is already planning on extending the time on our property (yard). But, too bad so sad, at 12:01 Saturday morning, I am taking possession of my house again.
Yesterday, our youngest came over with her SO and they helped me do some yardwork, even though we had snow on the ground - UGH! that 4 letter word. I normally do not mind it, but I like it better when my outside work is done. Afterwards, we came in and I was asked to make a quick lunch. We had some mac and cheese on the counter so my daughter asked if I could make that for lunch.
So, for lunch we has mac and cheese with mixed vegetables, peas, spinach, and for the SO and hubby - venison. The SO is a processed food junkie and will not eat vegetables, so I separated his mac and cheese before I added the vegetables. All other items were served on the side. Afterwards, daughter and SO got into an argument because she wants to eat better and he does not, the discussion was based on "I don't want to cook two meals". I am hoping the way I made the lunch will serve as an example for that she does not have to make 2 separate meals. But the reality is that she wants him to do the cooking and he won't cook from scratch.
Later that evening, I watched a video on meal planing by Mary McDougall and the suggestion she gave when there are other family members that are not eating this way is to serve the meal where each can add what they want to their plate. Simple, sometimes we make things so complicated.
I am still overly stressed and peanut butter and jelly toast seems to be my comfort food. I am eating way too much bread!!!! I slept well last night, my fitbit showed a nice pattern between the deep, light and REM cycle - that is something I have not seen in a while.
