Zoo Lights

Friday night was such a perfect little date night. I picked up pizza at Homemade Pizza Co (cutie pie light cheese and pineapple on whole wheat for me and medium tomato, garlic and mozz on whole wheat for Monster) for dinner and we went off on our fun night on the town. We picked up a few road soadys for our trip around the zoo. Half of the zoo was decorated with beautiful lights. Holiday music played on the loud speakers and there were quite a bit of people just walking around enjoying the night. I loved it and hope to make it a tradition! We had our friends Mike and Jenna with us too which was a great time!

After the zoo, we headed downtown to see "Love and Other Drugs." I gave the movie a 6 out of 10. I was so excited to see it, but I was kind of confused throughout the movie. The storyline was random and a few of the characters were just thrown in for no reason. My reco is to not pay money to see it in the theater. Def go to the cheap theaters or redbox it.

On Saturday, we had plans to shop and that was it. We hit up some furniture stores and I knocked out a few Xmas gifts on North Avenue and Armitage. I started to feel crummy so I went home and napped and decided to be a bum all night. It was much needed!

We celebrated Stacie on Sunday at her baby shower. It was lovely to catch up with the girls and see a few of our cute pregnant friends. Stacie is due mid-January and I can't wait to see Baby E! Stacie is not finding out the sex of her baby so that will be a wonderful surprise! We hit the grocery store last night to end the weekend and I crashed early. I was still fighting this bug.

I did fine on the diet this weekend. I didn't make it to the gym, but I truly didn't feel well enough to go. I plan to get back on gym mode this week and have a great week on the diet as well. I spent about 20 minutes this morning organizing my week of meals and writing down points for every item. I may try and do this every Monday am. It gets me motivated to eat well all week.

My meal plan today:
Breakfast - low fat vanilla yogurt with 1/2 cup of low fat granola - 6 points
Snack - N/A
Lunch - Healthy Choice soup and oyster crackers, carrots and pretzels with hummus - 10 points
Snack - PB choco chip granola bar - 2
Dinner - I have lots of options at home for dinner. I need to figure out what Monster is in the mood for, but I'm thinking comfort food. It's freezing today! Maybe some stir-fry??

I'm off to the gym for some cardio tonight. I think I'm going to start running again. Maybe not tonight, but soon :).

Hope you had a good weekend!
