Carb Coma
Well, I made it. All of Lent with no bread (except for last Sunday, which was communion Sunday and I figured that little piece of bread didn't count) and no deep fried food.
Yay Me!
So this morning - I had two toaster waffles that were left over in the freezer from Shrove Tuesday, and I made some of my grandmother's soda bread for lunchtime. I had a nice Easter lunch - I found a little lamb roast at the market on Friday, and so I picked it up and popped it in the oven earlier today. Usually you can't find a little 2-pound roast, so I was grateful, because I really do love lamb.
And within hours, my body has made it quite clear to me that BALANCE is key . . . Lots of carbs in one day - probably not best. I will spare you the gory details, and will let it suffice to say that, at the present time, no one can say I'm full of shit.
Ahem.
Moving on.
:-D
Seriously, it will be so much easier at lunch in the coming days - it's been challenging, and also spendy to avoid bread at lunch every day in the city. I'm very much looking forward to having a SANDWICH for lunch tomorrow. Probably from Subway :-) And interestingly enough, I'm not craving chips and am thinking I can probably do without them for awhile longer.
Here are some photos from my day in the city yesterday with my friend M. A fun day in Lincoln Park at the Lincoln Park Zoo, lunch at RJ Grunts (the very first LettuceEntertainYou restaurant), and then some knitting at Starbucks! It was a lovely day :-)

And what a beautiful city I live in :-)
And - here's the latest look at the show plants. They don't seem that much bigger to me in the last three weeks, but I'm hanging in and hoping for the best :-)
I'm thinking that some time on the treadmill might be a very good plan . . . but I am kinda feeling like a complete day of rest on this beautiful Easter Sunday :-)
