We got up yesterday morning to a dreary cold wet day..A typical winter Monday that I really don't like. I had not slept well, and didn't not want to be bright eyed and bushy tailed for our on line Welsh lesson at 9:30.. so Dh and I emailed our regrets and skipped it. Well we are adults and can choose what we want to do, but I still felt like a naughty child!
We just got on with a clean up of our lounge, although it only needed us to tidy round.. we are inclined to leave things around. And a stack of books had grown on the coffee table, because we had started to check which books we had both read, so we could give them away, we only had 2 and so 12 were to be put away. That was a bit of a fail and the books are now on the shelf under the coffee table, rather than on top of the table!
We're back on the SW food plan, I was playing catch up for Friday's extra treats. I had a few extras, which snowballed into eating everything and anything in sight. It can happen as you might know, if you've ever tried to lose weight. My Friday weigh-in loss at the SW group was 1.5lbs, not bad.
Dh made SW's Hunter's Chicken Pasta for our evening meal and it was absolutely delicious. I could have eaten it twice over, and then filled up with frozen Raspberries and a Banana Custard yogurt, which hits my sweet spot.

Once again your post made me smile, it's so honest! I've not needed to diet (Weightwatchers was the go to when we were young) sadly I'm not surrounded by mouth watering food. I hit a bad spot today eeh my mother's estate, which prompted me to indulge in a large block of Old Gold Cherry Ripe dark chocolate. I had to eat it all before it melted. Pity about the Welsh lesson, I'd do Welsh if it was taught at TAFE. Love learning new languages then going where it's spoken. I learned French and German at school but way too far away to put into practice.

A good day at home feeling like you've had success with housework and cooking is a good day. For me and this terrible weather it's been reading a book or crochet or embroidery. With a helping of house cleaning and cooking on the side, lol.
ReplyDeleteA book by the fire after the meal would be my heaven!
ReplyDeleteNot having to go out on a dreary day pleases me - and some chocolate doesn't go amiss either.
ReplyDeleteThe language I am trying is Korean and each time I encounter something that feels "odd" or "awkwardly confusing" I think of how many oddities English as a language has.
ReplyDeleteBlue winter days are always better with a pot of soup cooking on the stove and a good book.
ReplyDeleteI think that meal would have done it for me too. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed a liver and bacon casserole with mashed swede ... so comforting on a dreary winters day. Also reading a few pages of my book was very relaxing.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
A blue winter's day makes me want soup and hot tea. But your chicken dish looks delicious!
