Crappy Cooks make GREAT Dietitions
Last night I didn't post because the man of my dreams texted me yesterday afternoon with an invitation to spend some quality time together. We made dinner, hung out and talked and just reconnected with each other. He's amazing and I feel so lucky to have him in my life.
We made haddock with roasted asparagus and I attempted to make a sort of baked potato that the recipe said should take 30 minutes at 400 degrees. I did it for 35 minutes at 425 degrees and they still were not done. We went without a starch and the meal was still great! Crappy cooks make happy dieters!
I did indulge in some roasted garlic bread with a little olive oil but tonight when I weighed myself, I have lost weight this week. Not a lot of weight but still a net loss. Sarah Silverman wrote a book ( I know what you're thinking but it isn't nearly as surprising as Snookie writing a book...) and in this book she talks about "making it a treat." Her treats were drugs and other such things but I think it is a good rule of thumb. Surely there are wiser people that have presented that idea but for some reason that is what stuck with me from that book. Making the bad things I love to eat a treat is the very definition of a treat. If you have it all the time you can't appreciate why you love it so much.
Between Sarah Silverman and my crappy potatoes this week has really been a win! I think I'll treat myself to some shopping or a pedicure or something on Friday to celebrate!
