Tonight is a test. We’re having a family reunion style gathering. It’s not the whole crew from around the country, but big enough to get me in some trouble! We’ll be having pasta, potatoes, corn, and all kinds of things I shouldn’t eat. We’ll also have grilled chicken and vegetables, and another casserole that I will be able to eat. I’m not going to eat a normal Lean and Green meal. I’ll eat a bit more because I don’t want to stand out and have somebody try and convince me that ‘a little won’t hurt’. I know they’ll mean well (some of them, anyway!) but I just don’t want to set myself up for it.

I had the whole weekend off , and I didn’t get anything done that I hoped to do! I was going to do some heavy house cleaning, exercise, maybe give myself a manicure. But instead I read, relaxed, napped. It was great! But I hate not getting things done that I planned to do. I think I need another nap before I make dessert-for-twenty that I can’t eat!
