Medic!

Unfortunately my sleeping times have been completely off.  My intention was to up wake up in the morning and make my husband breakfast for work, sticking to my meal/water schedule and  going to the gym to swim, so on and so forth. Lo and behold I wake up late. I also have a dulling pain in my right shoulder. Talk about irony! I started yoga purely to decrease my chances of having injuries and this happens. Maybe I over did it with the weights afterwards. Such is my life. *smiles* Oh well, I am not giving up. I'm always coming up with new ideas in the kitchen so now I wish to create healthier options. Today I was wanting to make a pasta dish so I grabbed some bow-tie pasta. Did you know the average 1lb box is for eight servings! Now I see why we need to read the labels. My husband and I would normally split a box add pasta sauce and throw some type of meat in it. I proceeded to  measure out my pasta and instead of just smothering it in Alfredo or tomato sauce, I added spinach, pesto, a little Parmesan and diced tomatoes. It was amazing and what's great is that I know I had at least two serving of vegetables. Funny, I feel it actually tastes better without it being loaded in heavy sauces. (^_^) I really hope that my shoulder gets to feeling better because I do not wish to be out for too long. To anyone who may be reading this, please feel free to  leave suggestions. It will be much appreciated. Thanks. Here is to  trying again tomorrow!
