Week 2! Yes, we made it!

Barely made it... 
This morning it was unbelievably hard to wake up. This weekend really took it out of both of us, him more than I. We stayed up really late (for us) on Friday and had 2 soccer games on Saturday morning/afternoon. While I ran errands, he stayed and reffed 2 more soccer games. We both got home and got ready for the Christmas Party. By 10:30 I was ready to go home and crawl in bed, so we did, although I wish I could have stayed later because it really was fun. Sunday we got up sort of early and ran our errands and played ANOTHER (our 3rd for the weekend) soccer game. This time in 38 degree weather with winds of 20mph, so it felt like it was 20 degrees out. It really took everything out of me and I felt awful because Nick had to stay and ref another soccer game in that weather. I went home and crawled in bed with my big warm dogs on either side of me and I was still so cold. I finally warmed up after sitting in a hot bath for about 30 minutes. At this point I had no desire to cook dinner. We opted for Olive Garden. 
I originally planned on skipping the bread sticks and getting soup and salad, but I failed. By the time we got there I was so hungry I could have eaten a small child. Kidding. Kind of. But I practiced a tiny bit of restraint. I only had 1 bread stick and 2 helpings of salad. But I went all out when I ordered my entrée. I got the Lasagna pasta rolls, I don't remember the exact name but it was delicious. Lucky for me I only ate less than half of it and with my small calorie intake throughout the day I still came out roughly even. Now did I eat good calories, probably not, but it's the small steps in life. 
Tonight's menu sounds delicious though. 
Pecan encrusted white fish
Brown rice or redskin potatoes (haven't decided yet)
