Hmm. Let's see if this week I can highlight my successes rather than my failures (of which there have been a few).
weigh-in: down 1.0 for the week (.8 total)
exercise completed: woohoo, successes! I did another buttload of gardening, but not only that, on Friday I wanted to go to Target and instead of driving the 3 mile round trip I got on my bike and rode. (this also helped in cutting down what I bought) I've stuck with taking the stairs at work instead of the elevator. Monday I worked out for 25 minutes of abs and legs. Tuesday and wednesday I didn't exercise unless you count making a run for my car during monsoons and flash flooding.
splurges: birthday week, I didn't do well again with this. There was my free Red Robin burger, Kobe restaurant for the family birthday celebration (worth every calorie), and Sunday I spent the afternoon in the backyard kiddie pool with the kids and most of a bottle of red wine mixed with Fresca in a solo cup. It was glorious.
success story: I got some real exercise under my belt, didn't have a single candy from my assistant's desk, and Monday through Wednesday I went completely without soda and even drank a lot of water too! (Tuesday I was fighting a weather-related migraine and had half sweet/unsweet tea for the caffeine kick)
recipes: my husband requested Taco Casserole for his birthday dinner, which I find revolting. Fritos and refried beans? Blech. So I remade it with rinsed black beans and Mission Strips, and cut my serving small with a side of avocado and it was healthier AND easier to stomach. Score! Also, I made my first eggplant dish by making this and it was delicious.

Lunch Monday, eggplant gratin, the last of the coconut ice cream, and my usual work breakfast of one slice of toast with peanut butter and honey.
Lunch Wednesday, taco casserole, and dinner Friday.

Stopping by from LFT. Way to go this week! It was my son's birthday this past week, so I know how that goes. Your pics of your meals look delicious! Hope you have a great week!
You have an assistant? Is this a personal assistant, or do you have a work assistant? Does your personal assistant live on your wonderful porch? Can I borrow him or her?
Ha! She is the department assistant, and there's five of us. Technically "support" but that always complicated to me. She assists. :)
Holidays and special occasions are the WORST for trying to #cbdiet. Good job focusing on the positive! You'll get 'em next week. ;)
Popping by from LfT - it's always best (but never easy, at least for me) to focus on success instead of failures! Good for you for all the moving you did, even with all the celebrations!
