Leftovers Saved The Day!
As I mentioned earlier, my finicky mother is visiting for one month. She's a pistol, too. I'm starting to plan meals for next week, and everything I show her results in a scrunched up nose. Which means, she's not feeling the love of Suzanne's recipes.
Thankfully, I have leftover pizza, brats, and hamburgers from the weekend, to help bridge the gap between Suzanne's meals.
I finally gave up and let her eat the cereal she likes for breakfast. Plus, she also enjoys toast or English Muffins. Two lethal items for me to have in the house because I love bread of any kind. So far I haven't had any ... but they keep lurking at me like the geico commercials.
Then, for lunch she usually has a sandwich with her favorite, spiced ham. I literally have to divert my eyes because I love a good sandwich. She's really challenging me. But, we made a pack, and she's off the "Sexy Forever" hook as far as breakfast and lunch goes. But, dinner is another matter. So, we'll see how it goes later in the week because we have leftovers right now.
Breakfast - Fruit, then I exercised. Afterwards, I had multi-grain Cheerios and non-fat milk.
Snack - Slice of cheese.
Lunch - The last of the Stuffed Bell Peppers from Day 24. Plus, a small salad. My mother had leftover pizza. Aarrggghhh!
PM Snack - Hard boiled egg.
Dinner - We had leftover hamburgers, but I Did Not have a bun this time. I topped it with lettuce, a tomato slice, and a little bit of sugar free ketchup. And, on the side, we had sauteed zucchini slices in EVOO with a little Grill Mates seasoning by McCormick. Needless to say, my mother had her hamburger on a bun and didn't touch a bite of the zucchini, but claimed the tomato slice was her veggie. Really? One slice!
I NICELY pointed out that she hadn't eaten any veggies all day, and tried to convince her to eat 2-3 slices, but it went on deaf ears. However, my dear husband said, "Can I have her portion of the zucchini?" And, with that said, my mother gave me the look ... which translated means ... I love my son-in-law because he's not mean to me.
End of story.
There you go... a little humor and getting back on track is all you need. I'm loving your outside temptation...naturally, it's my favorite part of your blog lately. You need a little outside influence to make you even stronger. And isn't my D-I-L just the cutest thing you ever saw? Her comment was adorable...just like she it.
