So I paid no attention to my own horoscope & came home with a car full of groceries from BJ's. I continue to be amazed at how much of our food is gluten-based. I think my favorite part was going through the produce section. Odd, as I'm not much of a veggie eater. We had edamame for the first time & it wasn't too bad. Our fruit bowl is overflowing with pears, apples, oranges, bananas, & a pineapple. Now of course, BJ's sizes are a bit larger than normal so we have enough fruit to feed the 101st Airborne. My kitchen counter looks like Chiquita Banana's headdress exploded!
We've been bringing carrots or apples & peanut butter as snacks. A pretty good choice - filling, low calorie, protein. Also tried Almond Milk - preparing for a potential road down the no dairy route. Surprised that it only has 1g of protein? Still need to try some other "milk" options, but this one was not bad when mixed with chocolate...then again, what isn't good when mixed with chocolate?
Mother's Day was the most wonderful weekend. I had Friday night all to myself and enjoyed a glass of wine, tomato & mozzarella salad, a few chocolates, & Twinkies. No arguing over the remote & my rated "T" movie choice. No one looking for a taste of my snacks, other than Jake. No, the Twinkies aren't gluten free, but I'm not perfect :) Mother's Day morning I awoke to breakfast in bed - homemade Belgian waffles & a cup of tea. Again, not on the GF menu, but all made with love by my Katie & my honey.
Then a new family tradition - poker after breakfast. Brian won, but not by much. On Mother's Day, shouldn't Mom win? Maybe next time.
As I've been unhappy with my clothes for quite a while but I'm too frugal to go shopping, B & K bought me some great new pajamas - pajamajeans! They look exactly like a pair of jeans. We've all had the episode where we've had to sleep in our jeans & it's not a fun one. These made me do the happy dance. The perfect outfit when I'm running to put Katie on the bus...the bus driver gave me a chuckle when she saw me one morning in my pink fuzzy pj's.
After changing into some "Sunday Church Meeting" clothes, we went into Worcester for a great seafood dinner with Mom. Happy to say that everyone didn't run & hide when I ordered a sushi platter. Note to self - sushi does NOT do well as leftovers. I did not try it, just could tell from the look & smell. It was not as bad as a tuna grinder left on the dashboard, but some memories will never fade away.
I was completely ignoring the scale, all weekend, but when I couldn't button my "fat jeans", I had to look...153. Turning 40 hasn't been fun for my metabolism. Back to being overly focused on my diet. For the first time in I don't know how long I'm chowing down on a salad, just lettuce & dressing, but it's a start. Scale pin, get ready to start moving to the left!
