Whew! Didn't think I would show a loss this week. We have an annual New Year's Day Open House (this was the 26th year!) and I do all the cooking. Since I hail from the south originally, I go back to my roots and have traditional black eyed pea dishes (for good luck) as well as greens. I also make a large spinach lasagne and a meat lasagne, and 2 huge oval crock pots of chili. We also have the typical nosh stuff like deli, vegetable, and fruit platters. We had hummus, chips, pita, Buffalo chicken dip, 5 layer Mexican dip, cheese, crackers, etc. I did not make any desserts but people brought stuff in. Lots of brownies, cakes, etc. I usually make sweet potato pies but I didn't this year because I would have been tempted to eat them.
Having so many people around (about 60 or so showed up this year) kept me busy and I only nibbled on veggies and ranch dressing while people were here. After they left, the last ones around 8pm, I sat down to eat a sandwich of meats and cheese on a homemade almond psyllium roll (net carbs 2.5g) while my hubby started the clean up. It was the first time I had actually sat down and boy did my feet and knees hurt!
I didn't weigh in yesterday because I knew I didn't hydrate well the day before and this usually causes me to, let's just say, be irregular. I made sure to drink lots of water yesterday and my system pretty much got flushed out (sorry, TMI).
Happy to start the New Year in the 220s! Good luck to everyone this year! Hope 2016 brings success to us all!
