Days 17 & 18: Drinking and Dancing

This weekend has been a crazy crazy weekend. Maybe just because I know I'm going back to work so I want to try to get stuff done before I am working again. Or maybe it was just crazy in my mind.

Saturday night, I went to celebrate a friends upcoming wedding with pasta, and drinking. I am NOT a big drinker. At all. Like barely drink. So this was a challenge.

We hit up one of my favourite pasta restaurants in Edmonton, and I managed to attempt to be healthy and order myself a salad. However, it being mostly dark leafy greens, which I tend to find quite bitter, and my body isn't the best at digesting them. I chased them with my giant glass of wine and was pretty happy.

We ended up heading out in a limo for a booze cruise. This cruise included jell-o shots and malibu soaked gummy bears. Here's a couple things they should have known about me.

1) I hate jello
2) I hate malibu

I'll admit, I had some of the jello shots. They mostly made me feel like when you have the flu, with a little bit of vodka. The gummy bears didn't go anywhere near me. So gross.

Luckily there was quite a bit of dancing involved!

boom.

Heres the shot from my fitbit. Look at all those steps! And them active minutes!,

However, since I rarely drink, I'll admit I was feeling a little rough this morning. I should have probably had some water before bed. But I got up and did the mom thing. Started chugging my water. I even went for a treadmill run today! I feel like thats a gain. Before, I usually would have just napped while my kid napped, but today I decided to sweat. I drank water and had healthy snacks. I made a delicious dinner of turkey burgers, and a selection of leftover sides. The pasta salad I made originally called for mayo but I switched that out for just plain yogurt. I cut up more cucumbers than pasta, and sprinkled a healthy dose of dill. It was so yummy! Even the kid enjoyed it!

But the real star was this burger. I usually hate how dry turkey burgers can be. However, these ones turned out super juicy and delicious.

1lb turkey
1/4-1/2 cup of diced onions
1 clove minced garlic
shake of panko
egg whites
parsley

It was so good! I have left overs luckily to enjoy the rest of the week.

Aww yeah giant turkey burger. 

I'm glad I didn't just order pizza, or eat the frozen pizza in the freezer. I'm glad I made the choice to eat healthy. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

This makes me hungry. 

I'm still going to admit that snacking at night is still killing me. I am sitting here and just wanting to eat everything. I hate that feeling. I wish there was something that was filling and delicious that wasn't terrible to eat before bed. Any one have any thoughts! Leave a comment and let me know!
