The Weekend of Dire Temptation is over. Yay!
It was a bit strange. I told the family that we were going to barbecue something due to the weather. The response wasn't the anticipated sadness, but a real shocker!
My DH said he didn't care if he never ate turkey again, as did my son, who confessed he never liked it anyway. We got some good steak, tender but not fatty, and cooked it, along with salad and a baked potato. I had a small red potato instead of those giant Russets.
Then on to dessert...blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream. I had ONE serving.
Next day, too much of the cookie and ice cream munching. Saturday, went to see a play. Unfortunately, they were selling very good brownies there, got one. That's because I had to skip dinner to get to the play . This is not an excuse. Traffic here is brutal enough so that to go 20 miles takes 60 minutes sometimes. We had a light pasta meal when we got home.
Yesterday the (^(*&)^^ cookies and ice cream reappeared. They are really the bane of my weight loss. I have learned to pass by my favorite one mostly, with a glare and quiet hiss. Hard to admit that a cookie is stronger than you, but it's the case here.
Monday, weekend over, time to reform. I have not eaten anything yet. One slice of cheese, coffee, fruit, and a roll is what I'm having, balanced, and should be enough. Will start to drink water. Winter water is great from the faucet: really cold with a wonderful taste! Some lemon or lime, with ice, makes it perfect.
