Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
DH and I had a Valentine's dinner out for the first time in a couple years.....usually he "remembers" on the 14th and I refuse to go anywhere without reservations. This year, we decided to "avoid the rush" on the 14th and go out on the 13th. We headed for a relatively new restaurant I'd been wanting to try. This place could be AWESOME in good weather, but was a bit chilly when we got there. After we arrived, however, it warmed up when they closed the final weatherproof flap around the outer deck.
The food was fantastic, and that's the important part. Fresh, locally-caught fish grilled to perfection, cooked spinach, and a double serving of grilled asparagus (in lieu of the couscous) is what I had. DH's pecan-encrusted fish was really, really good, as well.
After a major rain event this week (you poor folks further north got the same system, but in ice and snow), I have to keep my lawn inflatable inflated for a few days to be sure it gets dried out before I pack it away. Might just be celebrating Valentine's Day right on through Presidents' Day!
This weekend, DH and I have to provide the food for our study group at church. Being as how we're the newest members of this group, we don't want to deviate too much from what everyone else has been bringing....at least not this first time! Wish I had Stef's (ctlss) expertise, as she takes goodies every Sunday to her church. I'm trying to minimize the off-plan items so we don't have a lot of leftovers. I already told DH that he should take the off-plan leftovers to his work's break room......they'll be devoured in a heartbeat!
WOE has been going fairly well this week. Of course, I want to be back at goal YESTERDAY but I'm forcing myself to look at my daily weigh-ins here at home and realize that I AM moving in the right direction. I just need to stay focused and exercise a whole lot of patience, persistence, and consistency. I found a blog online a few days ago that put forth the idea that staying the same, or fighting through the inevitable "minor" ups and downs in weight, is actually a GOOD thing. What?????? Well.....that's the premise, anyway.
Have a terrific weekend.
