Day Four. Woke up with a ton of energy. Work was completely crazy, but I did manage to wolf down lunch of a sweet potato with maple syrup and pecans, and steamed zucchini and yellow squash during a working lunch. I never did manage to get to the hummus and red peppers that I packed for my mid-afternoon snack, so by the time I got home, I was famished.
Day Four was also Chris' birthday. We had originally intended to celebrate on Friday, so I had planned to do a stirfry, but that didn't feel at all festive enough for a birthday meal. He agreed. When I got back to the house, he was of the complete mindset that he wanted to go out to our favorite pub for dinner and a beer. He just kept saying, "But it's my f-ing birthday!" What kind of wife would I be if I didn't play along?
As luck would have it, our pub changed its menu yesterday (it isn't typically the most veggie-friendly place). I ended up finding something I could eat and still stay on my diet: a black bean burger with grilled pineapple and jalapenos, with a side salad with balsamic vinaigrette (holding the cheese and bacon that usually come with the salad). And they were actually really delicious!
