A Mixed Bag

Well, things were going great this weekend...until last night. B & I walked for about 1-1/2 hours yesterday, and I was doing well with food. When hubby asked what I wanted for dinner, I chose sushi, which is pretty healthy. We had a wonderful dinner…sautéed prawn appetizer, spicy tuna roll, California roll, soft shell crab roll. I had 2 boxes of cold sake, which is equivalent to about 2 glasses of wine. At this point, I was quite satisfied.

Then…on the way home, hubby pulls into a DQ…I should have told him I didn’t want anything…but yes, I’m weak! I admit it. He ordered a peanut buster parfait, and I had one too, although I can say, at least I didn’t eat the whole thing. (We talked about it a bit this morning, I should have ordered a small sundae instead of a parfait; I probably would have been just as satisfied. The idea is not to give up everything you love, but to have it in moderation and he agreed.)

We came home and watched a very funny pay-per-view movie Burn After Reading, with Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John Malkovich, and Frances McDormand. It was directed by the same guys who directed Fargo, the Cohen brothers. If you liked Fargo, you’ll like this movie too.

Then, hubby continued to be naughty…I was fast asleep in bed when I woke up to a commotion in the kitchen. I fell back asleep, so I didn’t find out until this morning…he’d made his famous yeast waffles, which have to rise overnight. I don’t know what got into him. I think sometimes his cooking creativity just has to burst out. Yes, if you were wondering, the waffles were indeed delicious.

Alright, so it’s done…it’s all over now. We'll have a salad or something similar for dinner and no more “bad” things the rest of this week. B & I just got back from a 35 minute walk, and now hubby & I are off to buy healthy groceries for the week.

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday.

  1. It's over and done, and move on from here. Just for future reference, a small cone is pretty low in points and definately satisfies and "ice cream hazard "situation and DQ. They also have bars that are one point- I cannot remember the name of them now. At least they used to. it has been a long time since I have been to the DQ myself, even though I have one right across the street.

  2. It was seeing Brad in those exercise shorts that did it! I'm sure of it! http://lwfm.blogspot.com/search?q=burn+after+reading
