Monday Musings
It's already 3pm and even though there's a Sox game tonight and I'm gonna have to fight the traffic, I'm actually looking forward to going to class later.
I discovered today that my check book balance is dangerously low and so I made the decision to go back to my part-time job. I will be working at the YMCA again as a fitness instructor one night a week. The perks = free membership, half priced kickboxing class and an extra paycheck every other week. For 4 hours a week I think it's worth it! I left so that I could focus on school, but school is turning out to be pretty easy so I can give up my Tuesday nights to earn some extra money. I've been working at the Y for almost 3 years with the exception of a total of 4 months I took off for various reasons. I'm glad to be going back.
This change in schedule is going to seriously alter my eating habits. I need to come up with a good plan for meals for the week so I am never stuck without breakfast or lunch. I will not have time Monday thru Wednesday to cook at all so I need to be sure that I have appropriate food for work Mondays thru Thursdays and then I can cook on Thursday nights thru Sundays. I'll have to cook a lot on those days and freeze stuff for the rest of the week.
I've been meaning to be more organized about my food anyway. I tend to go to the grocery store way too frequently and as a result I spend a fortune on groceries. I'm not being smart at all about that and I obviously don't have the money to be doing it!
Ok, more later, hope you're having a lovely Monday.

I posted a recipe for a chicken marinade. I wonder if you used gluten free soy sauce if it would work for you? It has lots of sugar though.
Take care. Best luck with your p/t job.
