Last night's dinner was as good as I had hoped. It was Peppered Pork Chop Casserole from Day by Day. It's chops and rice, with tomatoes and green peppers. Not quick, because it has to bake for an hour, but I had time last night so that was ok.
Working out has become more of a challenge. I'm in my 3rd 30-day challenge and working on the hard level...and it is hard...much harder than the intermediate level. I do lunges and then squats and then jump lunges or jump squats one after the other until my legs feel like the noodles I ate with the linguine and clams a few nights ago. And then it's a couple of upper body exercises, and then the whole thing starts all over again. That which doesn't kill you makes you strong - literally!
No cooking for me today, we are having dinner at a friend's house. It's another Italian dinner - this time homemade gnocchi - a sabotage opportunity for those calorie gremlins. You know them - they're the sneaky critters that add calories (or WW points) before you know what hit you. It goes like this - "Mary Beth, you have to try this appetizer. It's so tasty, and it's shrimp - not fattening at all." After the fourth shrimp, you find out that it's so tasty because it was marinated in oil and than sauteed in butter! I'll have to be on my guard the rest of the day today just to be prepared for tonight.
Note to self - Don't weigh tomorrow!

is there a way to add a link to these recipes on line in case any of your loyal followers want to try them?
ReplyDeleteThe problem I see is that I'm afraid if I post the recipes it may be a copyright infringement. The only thing I can think to do is to send the recipes (with my "improvements") to people individually. Is there a particular one you're interested in? I'm glad I have loyal followers!
