I hope everyone had a good weekend.
I have never been a big fan of the Hallmark Holiday, but others are...including my wife. So like it or not, I have to observe it. On the other hand, I am a big fan of how we observed Valentine's Day this year. My wife is in a 2 month traveling stretch for work and is coming home only on the weekends. So instead of trying to force the issue out of a crowded restaurant, we made a private weekend out of it. We made virtually every meal together and rented a couple movies (Social Network and The Towne). The only thing missing was the crackling fire, but the good TV is in a different room than the fire place)
For our dinners we tried a couple things out of her Taste of Home magazine (Spicy Deviled eggs and a strawberry-pineapple-lime drink) and I picked a recipe off the Weight Watchers website (Creamy Fettuccine with Scallops and Spinach...super good). I also made crab stuffed mushrooms off this site (decent, but I'll have to tweak it a little next time.). I was supprised to see that the 10 point Weight Watchers recipe included white pasta and flour. I used half the oil, wheat flour, and wheat pasta and got it down to 8 points. It made 4 servings so I have lunch today and tomorrow.
Weight-wise, I stalled a little bit. It is still negative, so that's a positive (Wha, wha, WHAT!?!?) but I did not work out as much as I oiginally planned. Perhaps a silver lining will appear where I confused my body last week out of a plateau effect. We'll see. Any how I hope everyone has a great week and I will leave you with this little nugget from Coach Wooden...
"If we magnified blessings as much as we magnify disappointments, we would all be much happier."
