I'll have bacon and eggs for breakfast, and then probably just hamburger for the rest of the day. My wife and I have planned several things to do today that aren't food related. Primarily because she knows how impossible I can be when it comes to food, especially the kinds of foods traditionally enjoyed on holidays like this one.

Today I have been married for 17 yrs , yeah!!!! We decided to celebrate last night to beat the crowds. I was a little worried that I would mess up at a restaurant , but it worked out well! I had a chicken breast sandwich with Swiss, bacon, and avocado sans bread. Then Herbed mayo and green salad on the side . A black coffee with cream, and absolutely no craving for the decadent treats that were displayed! I think my husband was surprised, I am quite the sugar bug. But now when I eat this way I am content and full, a feeling I did not have following the U.S. guidelines. The scale was lower this morning and I am starting to think that this way of eating could really be my ticket back to wellness ! Have a happy Valentine's Day!!!

We have a friend staying over this weekend. Dinner was roast pork with crackling, roasted garlic butter asparagus and roasted carrots. Yummmmmmmmmm We were so full we didn't bother with dessert.

Oh, and I received some beautiful yellow tulips.

Happy Anniversary mebeep and Happy Valentine's Day everyone.

Nothing special here except that every day is special with my husband. Sometimes we give gifts or cards for Valentine's and sometimes we don't. Sometimes calorie burning exercise is a better gift

I got a small bag worth of candy, cookies, and other stuff from my students on Friday. I have no idea where it all went. I gave a handful to the kiddo, but the rest was on the kitchen table. I think my wife threw it out. It's all good. I had no intention of eating it.
