Had a decent weekend, only minor exceptions, many successes (trying to be more positive than I naturally am.)
We took a drive on Sunday, and I made sure to have some soup before and brought an apple and tea. Usually a drive means pretzels at best, and at worst...

But, I stayed in the car while DH got his caffeine fix. He did declare this weekend that he needed to stop drinking coffee because he didn't like how he felt, so I took this opportunity while we were both motivated, to put the coffee maker away, and donated the creamer and left-over coffee to our staff room!!
I spent most of Saturday getting groceries and food prep. I made him banana bread which I was able to avoid (pre-portioned and froze most of it) until this morning..had one piece. Made Jeff's burgers into a sort of loaf/pot roast thing with potatoes, carrots and cabbage. I almost ruined it--the recipe I was modifying was for seitan roast in the crock pot--bean loaf did not fair too well. I pulled it out half-way through and put it in the oven. The extra bean mixture, I made into meatballs, and froze. Also made Jeff's Longevity soup. Did have a non-compliant snack that afternoon, b/c nothing was ready to eat.
Didn't end up walking on Friday. I might have been cleaning the house? That was so long ago! Saturday, I counted all the housework as my walk, but Sunday I did about 35 minutes...not quite two miles, and again today.
Talked to a co-worker this morning who is doing really long hikes/walks, and I may do her five mile route with her some mornings when her husband can't go. Will be super dark, in a huge park, an adventure?! I need to work on a 15 or 16 minute mile for her pace. I think I'm a little slower than that now.
Overall, happy with what I did. Husband even ate the bean loaf! Tonight we'll have the left-over potato mixture with a salad (out of loaf). Later in the week, I planned pasta and white bean soup for dinners and chana masala for my lunches. We'll be busy this week, I think. These meals should be easy enough to do.
