Leftovers
MR has been eating leftovers from the brunch party for dinner for two days now. That's a good thing because I was a bit exhausted from cooking so much for the brunch party. Even I have a limit.
One thing I realized when I started to take my CR more seriously once more and stopped eating little bites here and there during the day was just how many calories I must have been consuming in the form of a bite here, a bite there. For instance, I used to regularly pick at the leftovers from others' plates. Yesterday my co-worker offered me the last few bites of his sandwich at lunch, and I graciously declined. I wonder how many calories it would have added to my day to eat the leftovers. I did eat half a pickle (how anyone can resist eating the entire pickle is beyond me, but this particular friend always leaves most of the pickle) but that's about 10 calories. If I were to give one piece of advice to people trying to lose weight (other than stop eating grains) it would be to completely stop eating between meals. Lots of people plan and eat healthy meals, but snack on this and that between. Believe me, it adds up!
Tonight we're having very CR friendly dinner company... a blog reader in fact! I've already DWIDP'd our feast, and MR is doing the weighing of all the materials before I come home, since I'll get home from work only minutes before the guest arrives. I'm making Quorn tenders in mushroom gravy, broccoli with flax oil and fresh lemon, and apples with hazelnuts and hazelnut oil. A nice new bottle of pinot noir awaits. Yum!

Hey April,
I am glad you posted all my comments in one blog for all your readers to read so they can like or hate me more and write more hate comments. Why don't you visit my blog and leave some comments of yours so I can evaluate where to put them as well?
I don't think you would post those posts of mine into a blog unless you thought their nastiness would do you some good, like making you liked more.
Whar a hypocrite... Say hi to your monkeys, I am off from this nasty space for good. You are welcome at my nice place though; istanbulwitch.blogspot.com
