working from home
I work from home on Wednesdays. It’s EXACTLY what I need to get through the work week.

Because I was working from home, I was able to work out over lunch. It was glorious. Wish I could do it more often!

Most of my coworkers were at a conference this week so I had a couple more days to work from home than normal. So I took some time to experiment in the kitchen, which was more fun than I thought it would be. This from someone who’s pretty terrible at cooking. Enter my Healthy Thai Coconut Curry Experiment. And the mess it left behind. I thought it was pretty good for a first attempt at such a dish (and a healthyish one at that), but it probably needs some work. Mr. J insisted it was great even the day after. This is why I love him. 🙂

It was a lot of work though, sooo… that was where the home-cooked meals ended. I generally aim to eat healthy, wholesome foods about 80% of the time — whether I make them myself or not — but sometimes work and/or laziness gets in the way.

And then you vow to have a healthy weekend, but there’s a special occasion which would obviously take precedent. A good friend of mine comes to Toronto only a couple times a year, and she likes to go all out. It just so happened this weekend one of those times. I can’t very well deny my friend a good time just because I want to eat healthy things (or learn to cook) now, can I? As they say, everything in moderation! And, there’s always next time! The next day my schedule (and eating habits) went back to normal anyway. Well, maybe a few hours later than normal. Still, not too shabby!

I prepared a quick adult-friendly snack for us to eat before heading out for the evening. Look forward to a post on this soon!
