winning

Over the weekend, in an unprecedented act of decisiveness, I decides to go ahead and sign up for eMeals. After less than a week of debate and fact-gathering??!-- I know, who is this person and what did she do with Erika? When it came down to it, it was only $18 for a 3-month subscription...at that price point, it's not much of a gamble. Better to just get it and try rather than think it to death, right? Right. 

So last night was our very first eMeals meal and I was excited about it all day long. We're doing the Mediterranean plan right now because it closely resembles how we like to eat...lots of fresh veggies and fruit, fish, not much meat. We're planning to do four meals this week, Monday through Thursday...then we'll be out of town for the weekend. So it'll be a good kickoff week, I think.

And the verdict from last night??

                                   

Yummmmmmy!!!

We had Mediterranean Stuffed Squash as the main course and Polenta with Wilted Tomatoes for the side. And it was DELICIOUS! And looked really fancy.  Not surprisingly, I spent a lot of time patting myself on the back after we started eating. But seriously. It was yum. 

With one day of eMeals under the belt (literally...), I think I'm fully qualified to say its awesome and everyone should sign up. Tonight is some kind of fish and risotto thing...risotto from scratch?? Wish me luck. 

In other words, I've gotten up early and gone for a run two out of two days this week. That's 100%, for those of you not so mathematically-inclined. So basically, this week I am winning at life. Running AND cooking my own food?? Surely there is a medal for this level of achievement. 

Unfortunately, morning running means I require more coffee to survive...so I am off to Starbucks. Have a happy day!

EDIT: How typical!! This morning my friend received a Groupon email with a freakin' great deal on eMeals!! Sadly, I'm already signed up, but if you're considering it, this would get you a year's worth of meal plans for a song!!
