We had some friends over last Sunday. It was one of those times when we couldn't decide what to make for dinner and so we made two dinners. Yeah, I know, making two dinners for the same meal is rarely a good idea- except at the time it seems like a very good idea because you no longer have to decide- and there you go. So two dinners it was. Venison stew and chicken-chocolate-cashew chili, each served in a sourdough bread bowl.
We made so much of both that I've been eating it for lunch all week. That's one delicious carb-load of goodness every day. Mmm, venison, potatoes, carrots, and beans. Deliciously windy around Steve all week long, I'll tell you what.
But wait, that's not all. I was reading a JohnIsFit.com entry (you know, the one about hiding Oreos around the house) and thought I'd try and have some of the same kind of fun. So I went to Costco and picked up a box of Oreos and started stashing sleeves of what I now call "demon sweets" around the house. Harmless fun, right? WRONG! It seems that they're too easily found so in an effort to preserve some for myself, I stashed a couple of sleeves in my desk. Nobody looks in there, right? WRONG! I look in there. No longer do I have to worry about anyone else getting to them- as they are now in my belly. No food games for me.
Net result? Two additional pounds on the scale this morning. Not good. But you know what? I'm not bummed out about it at all. In fact, what I'm feeling is determination. This week I dipped my toe in the pool of wretched excess and waded out up to my knees in what could certainly have become my undoing. Now I'm back out again- a little damp from the experience but ready to move on and continue my trek towards good health and healthy living. Rock on...
