eating better but no exercise

I don't know what it is but I can't get myself to work out...of course the minute I work out for the first time I get my period the next day...did Yoga Saturday Am, 

( did not mention that on Saturday for lunch had have 3/4ths of a 1/2 of a pastrami sandwich and half a small cup of matzoh ball soup... for dinner i had: 2 glasses of wine, 1 sidecar, 4 Kir royales , 3 small bites of cheese, 2 big pieces of wheat bread w/ butter, a miniscule oyster, 1 escargot, a few scoops of brandade and  few forkfuls of salad..then at 3 am we had cheesesteaks)

Sunday Am huddled in bed with a heating pad and the NYTimes and nursed hangover/cramps . Yesterday I meant to go to the gym but I didn't no excuse just didn't feel like walking over there. I wonder if I would be different about this if I was a driving around type of person? hmmm.

Its now 12:28 and I feel kinda sickish, just not right.

OK anyway here was last nights dinner:

Super Antioxidant Stirfry

Cubed extra firm tofu 
1 tbs canola oil
small sweet potato
1 cup shredded red cabbage
half orange pepper
1 carrot
2 cloves garlic
1 shallot
1 small zucchini
2 scallions

3 tsp Thai Red Curry Paste
1 cup low fat coconut milk

this made 3 servings, we had exactly 1/3 left over

with brown rice (pre made frozen from the acme..super easy if a bit bland and mushy..the package had 2.5 servings which came out about right)

Salad made from;

Savoy cabbage
cucumber (3" cut in batons)
1/2 under ripe mango (cut in batons)
daikon radish (same amount as cucumber)
1/s shallot

Dressing:
Lime juice
2 tsp fish sauce nam pla
1 tsp sugar
1tsp dark sesame oil
2 shakes szechwan hot pepper oil
1 tbs roasted cashews
Fresh Chives

Should have taken a picture this was very pretty all reds and oranges and purple with green accents
I will say this all would have been better with cilantro & mint, but rule for this week is work with what I've got.


Water & about 4 sips of pomegranate /cranberry juice (No wine for me)
Later on I had half a bowl of honey nut cherrios with 2% milk &  golden raisins...X took the bowl from me and ate the other half AFTER he had non fat chocolate pudding cup ( can I say how much I love these!! 70 calories of chocolate & calcium)


So far this morning:

Coffee w/ 2% milk (I'm weaning X off whole milk next week i'll have 1%)
Scooped out multigrain bagel from Dunkin' donuts, toasted at home with mustard and 1 oz shredded jarlsberg cheese.

Maybe if I have a grapefruit I'll feel better. going to do that, 

Lunch is going to be chicken soup, I have some homemade in my freezer.

X is making dinner tonight..because I am going to help abandoned cats.

He wants perogies...I asked him to make them with some sort of vegetable and we settled on cabbage &  onions...

we usually have them with greek yoghurt & hot sauce..By the way 0% greek yoghurt totally passes for sour cream..

Mary... I have veg chili in the freezer for you...It's good and loaded with good things black beans, tomatoes, whole wheat berries
 ALSO

I'm putting this on facebook, like now, we need accountability.
