I’m doing a variation on this recipe, with no arugula mayo, and a side of this grilled asparagus from the June issue of Food & Wine. (Dan just said, “If I’m going to like asparagus, I’m going to like it coated with mustard and mayo. What about bacon fat? Can you work that [...]
Hello, south side of 145. Nice seeing you again.
As I type, Dan and I are brainstorming the menus for the week and making our shopping list. We will hit both Headhouse Square’s famers market and Whole Foods. Our CSA starts Tuesday, too. I will post the meal plan for the week later today, after it’s [...]
Yes, it’s been a while since I recapped the week. They have been crazy, kind of, for the past month, and not a lot of fun to tally up and take a look at.
5 meals away from home.
3 violations of rules. I actually stuck to all my rules and regs this week, except for that [...]
I just had this terrible post-shower moment when the desire to lose 20 pounds hit me hard. I looked at my body, and had a sad flashback to being skinny, to feeling good and confident about my thighs, wearing skirts, wanting to apply moisturizer and paint my toe nails. After what seems like months of [...]
Well, that’s no good.
I was at the South Philly Tap Room with friends last night, for my absolute last birthday celebration, and I drank three pints of beer. That could explain this. Furthermore, after almost two years off, I started the birth control pill again yesterday (Lutera), and am scared enough about hormonal weight gain [...]
Back in the normal range. That’s nice. I have lots of things I want to post here–in particular the recipe for the terrific crisp tofu and broccoli with peanut sauce I made last week–but I’m very swamped with work right now. I miss blogging! I am, at least, starting to see the light at the [...]
It sort of figures that my first weigh in after getting back on the wagon, so to speak, would be the first spike I’ve seen in a while.
Yesterday, I went to the gym and had no alcohol. On the other hand, a bout of insomnia from the previous night and a generally high level of [...]
Not so bad considering the quantity of beer and gelato in my Memorial Day weekend. I urgently need to squeeze in a workout–I haven’t been such a regular at the gym these past two weeks.
Oops. I forgot to post yesterday. I weighed 144.5 then, too.
I worked a lot, plus Dan and I stopped at Ikea for a few home-organization items and a cart full of new dishtowels. (You never have enough clean dishtowels in my line of work.)
We did have lunch at the South Philly Tap Room. The blackboard [...]
Huh. I have been overindulging (somewhat) in everything lately and my weight is really holding steady. I can’t remember any time I’ve maintained basically the same weight for this long. Maybe it really is time to buy some clothes.
