Down another pound!

Yay! I'm down another pound! I'm not sure of my total, but I think it's around 7 pounds lost since we got back from Florida (where I gained a few). I'm still just eating dinner and a few snacks. I've struggled with the late night snacking a few nights this week, but I'm moving on. It's a learning curve, right? I'm down to just a handful of times a month of midnight snacking, so I'm definitely catching on.
I've been doing my walking. Which, I must say, is really boring to me right now. I've tried downloading some new music but that didn't work to rejuvenate me. But at least I'm doing it. Even if it is mindless. I'm walking fast enough, but maybe I'll try adding some incline intervals soon.
I've been cooking a lot of casseroles lately, and making two at once so I have one to freeze for later. I've done a few mexican ones (burrito casserole, enchiladas) and some unrolled cabbage rolls that are so easy, way easier than rolling and cooking the individual rolls.
I've made a new workout top. It came out 'okay'. Not the greatest thing I've ever made, but good enough to sweat in and wreck. And it's a nice wicking material so my sweat will be 'wicked away'.
Farm pickup is today. I can't wait. We're really seeing the bounty of the harvest paying off. I counted 11 items in today's pickup. They send a newsletter out each Monday morning telling us what's in the pickup and what's coming up soon. I've been making so many fresh veggie salads and side dishes. I made a carrot and beet salad with a lime vinegarette (sp?), and a maize pudding, and some baked eggplant sandwiches. The sandwiches were delicious. They had eggplant 'bread' and provolone for the middle, breaded and baked. Mmmmmm. The pudding is cooking right now. We'll see how that comes out. It's crazy that I have my oven on when it's supposed to be the hottest day of summer here in NY. It's supposed to get to 90. Oh well, we can always hang out downstairs where it's cooler.
Here's to summer and good eatin'!!!
