Dinner With Friends

Last night we had dinner with friends. They've known us for several years and Annis has been one of my faithful blog readers, cheering me on throughout the amazing weight loss adventure. She made a wonderful meal for us and I want to share it. I don't have a recipe since she made it up, but basically it was chopped tomatoes, chopped tomatoes in tomato sauce, kalamata olives (pitting them was the hardest part of the recipe), oregano, BASIL, and cooked, well drained spinach all mixed together, served over linguine. And, we sprinkled feta cheese on the top. It was filling, delicious, and very healthy. And we had great conversation and music to go with it! It was a special evening!

175.6 So, Today I'm Tired

I'm tired of being good around food I told Jeff. I'm tired of wanting to drink wine and eat and eat and at the same time not really wanting to do that. I think I am in a serious state of conflict, and, I'm tired.

I woke up a lot during the night, and stayed awake after waking up at around 5 AM. And I had to have a fasting blood draw at 8:30 this morning and then I had to teach at PVCC and then go back down to tutor the Japanese businessman late this afternoon. There's a lot of driving involved when you live a half hour from everything, especially when you are tired.

So tonight, I'll have a healthy dinner cooked by dear Jeff and be in a much better frame of mind in the morning. I'm never at my best when I'm tired.
