It's one thing to count points and make healthy decisions and be aware of what you are eating...blah blah blah...BUT, I think that this morning I forgot the words BALANCED DIET and just went wayyyyyyyyyy overboard in the "I'm pretend skinny" department. Here's how it went down. We got a George Forman all-in-one grill/panini press/waffle maker. We've never used it, so this morning while Josh was in the shower getting ready for work I decided to be a darlin and run downstairs and make waffles. Now, I use whole grain mix for pancakes all the time, but I forgot to factor in that the waffle maker was a lean, mean, fat burning machine, that I only had canola oil, that I only had soy milk, that I only had I can't believe it's not butter, and that I only had sugar free syrup. The waffles seriously tasted like cardboard. Joshy smiled his way through them anyway and even added a "Jessie, it's fiber!(with and exclamation point)"
Tangent- White Linen Night in the Heights.....hmmm....what was missing? I never went to the one in New Orleans that people talk and rave about like it's the best night out of their lives, so I only have made up in my mind what it is supposed to be like. So what I've imagined is wine and apps in every open shop and great live music and crazy give-aways. It's like The Heights is half way there, but it was more of a family night out with pet adoptions on every corner and lemonade and fruit punch as the greatest giveaway. The highlights were the fact that Neecole has a REAL baby bump(like the kind you can feel and photograph) and that Sarah Peirce had on the greatest Old Navy find and that Lucio's is still serving that fried begniet(sp?) like pita bread! Holla! Maybe this morning's waffle fiasco was actually just karma serving me up something to balance out that deep fried deliciousness.....and there it is...I just brought this ridiculous tangent back full circle to the opening waffle story.
Have a glorious Sunday!
Personally, I think White Linen Night in NO is waaaaaay overrated. But that's just my opinion. ;) And PS - you know you married a great guy when he eats whatever you cook no matter how bad it is.
