I was able to relax for a few days but all that work is still there... Back to work next week and still so much to do...
Another plus for this diet -- even though I am stressing out, I know I will not start snacking w/out paying attention. I miss cooking for S., though -- he will have to survive on leftovers for the next couple of weeks, even though he can definitely cook if necessary. He is nice to me, though, so I usually cook and he does dishes -- hey, works for me. Here is one of his recipes, in case somebody can use it. He came up with it one week when I was away, he was tired of leftovers, and decided to clean our refrigerator. ;)
Chef S. Clean Refrigerator Chicken
- 1 chicken breast, tenderized and sliced into chunks
- 1 onion, finely sliced
- 4 scoops of plain yogurt or sour cream
- olive oil
- fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped
- salt
- pepper
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then fry in hot oil for a few minutes. Remove chicken and set aside. Saute onion until golden brown, add yogurt and chicken, add more salt/pepper if necessary. Simmer until chicken is done and sauce starts to thicken. Sprinkle with dill or parsley. Enjoy with warm pita bread.
I am tired today -- it's that time of the month... So chugging cold green tea (love sugar-free on-the-go packets, honey-ginger flavor). Green tea always helps plus I am drinking enough fluids.
I have been putting off my IRB proposal and it's silly because I have all the information, just need to update the form and send it to my advisor. I keep pushing myself for a burst of energy and then get the momentum going, to take care of my prospectus. It's almost done, too, so how do I get through this block of apathy?!
