Well the debauchery and lack of discipline continued one more night. Went to neighbor's to make this insanely complicated (and caloric) recipe that i saw on a cooking show and kinda got obsessed with trying. I am a good cook (if i do say so), but i stick to a regular roster of basics that are not particularly complicated, but for some reason this thing is so fancy that i wanted to try it.

The dish is a southern Italian recipe that is basically a stuffed rice casserole that you make in a ring cake pan. It has meatballs and sauce and cheese and peas in the filling. It has a gazillion steps and took us about 3 hours to make. After it comes out of the oven you flip it over onto a plate and cut into it, revealing the inside. The drama when we flipped it was intense, lol! My friend took pix but hasn't sent them yet.
They look like we are doing a cooking show bc the thing looks so impressive, lol. We made two of them (bc if we are going to all the trouble, may as well), and clearly i am going to have to freeze it and have help eating it. It is not very diet friendly for my woe.

I had a planned not to drink, but then ended up having a fair amount of wine anyway. I have felt much worse for the wear today. After a late start i got on Helga and peddled for all i was worth. I can't believe i am saying this, but it felt good to sweat it out! Will have nice walk with dog later on.

I getting back on IF and back on my program! Scale says i am up (way up) today, but it is bloat. Hopefully i can mind my Ps and Qs (literally) and mitigate it by Sunday.

PS: i may post pix later; hope it won't offend anyone if i do!
