The watermelon is sooo juicy and sweet just like it is in the middle of the summer and the cantaloupe is perfectly firm and sweet ~ Yum! I think you will definitely see more of this as my fruit substitution this week!
For some protein and healthy fats, I had 2 Tbsp of raw walnuts as well.
Our friends stopped by (the ones who had the baby on Easter!) to show off their new baby boy. He was soooo tiny - only 6 lbs but absolutely cute! I wanted to take pictures to share with you all but since they have to still send out their announcements I didn't think it would be right :)
Once they left and The Husband was off to work I did a little shopping at Target. When I got home, I decided tonight was going to be a "ME" night. I just got done pampering myself complete with a nice long hot shower, head to toe body exfoliation, a facial and a foot massage. In addition to taking/framing amazing photos, my Dad also makes Homemade Organic Soaps, Lotions, bath salts, etc. I used the Organic Shea Cream on my feet and they are absolutely doing the happy dance.
I also decided that although my Jump Start Book calls for Fish, Wild Rice with Toasted Almonds and Asparagus, it just isn't going to happen. I have plenty of leftovers from this weekend to eat up so they do not go to waste and it's ME night, so I am making another substituion. Tonight I am not cooking - it's a repeat of last night because I have already cooked 2 meals today (the other you will see tomorrow).
Pork Stirfry with Garlic Broccoli
and a side of 3/4 cup brown basamati rice
I will be washing it down with 8 oz of milk & having a plum for dessert if I am still hungry.
I am off to eat, then, read, relax some more and get to bed early!
Tonight's question: Do you all take "ME" time for yourselves? What do you do for your ME time? I would love to hear your ideas.
thanks for sending me those incredible recipes :)
