The Weekend Warrior and Her Love Chub

Some people do chores on the weekend, some people relax, etc. I like to snack on the weekend. We spend most weekends snuggling away in Hidden Valley. And my boyfriend can eat, oh my, can the guy eat. I should also mention that we weigh THE SAME. I am average weight for my height. He's super-thin, but in good shape. So this weekend, with Valentine's Day hanging in the balance, we've planned to make cookies. And I love warm, out of the oven cookies, and I can't wait!

So my weekends are another area where I need to focus. I'm exercising during the week, eating pretty well, but my weekends are spent in bed studying, doing homework, and in general lovey-dovey merriment. So here's the lovey-dovey bashing plan:

I already have my hand weights in the house, so this weekend I'll bring up my yoga mat. This will equip me to do some basic strength workouts. I have also reminded my boyfriend that I need to take walks, etc., of a sizable nature. The final task (self-control in the kitchen) is sadly on me. So tonight's other mission is to peruse my diabetes cookbook and pick 2 recipes that share ingredients and that I won't binge eat. The other is to visit the Ruby Tuesday website to scope nutritional info. This is where we will be having our Valentine's dinner, and if you're laughing or cringing, you've obviously never seen the alternatives in Somerset, PA.

So here's their nutrition sheet, and I'm cringing, but I'm drooling over the avocado quesadillas...
