Monday Blues

What an icky day in Atlanta. I can't believe how chilly it is on May 10th! It is universally known that when the sky is blue, you usually are as well. It could be that it's Monday, that you were sad to see the weekend go, that it's raining or any old excuse to be lazy and curl up to watch a good movie. What can we do to shake these feelings? I usually treat myself to an unhealthy dinner, sweets or glass of wine, but tonight I am choosing to stay on track with my non-alcoholic beverages and healthy eating. Also, I am looking forward to my favorite show Gossip Girl which comes on the CW at 9:00pm and I will watch on the elliptical machine in the gym.

For the healthy dinner, I am cooking something tonight that my sister taught me how to make. I really like tofu, but have never been able to cook it properly. Truth be told, my kitchen usually looks like that of an 18 year old Frat boy's kitchen - stocked with alcohol and leftovers. Not appropriate for someone who has been out of college since 2005! Anyway, Kate told me to get the extra firm tofu and sprinkle it with nutritional yeast while you saute it to make it crunchy and to get it to taste somewhat fried. Then you can put it over brown rice, lettuce, or mix it up in stir fry! I am having it with brown rice tonight. Yum! Certainly beats leftovers and a hangover!

I have to charge my batteries tonight because I have a FULL week ahead. Events, events and more events! Also, for all of you who are wondering, I still haven't had a cocktail (8 days and counting.) I can't believe I am still sane and it is only going to get harder when I brave the event industry scene this week. Wish me luck, and I will fill you in on all the detox details!!
