So it has been some time since my last post. I don't know how some people can find the time to constantly write their blogs - perhaps they are not as busy as this W.M.D-G!
Have spent last two days visiting my mother-in-law. A rather difficult time as it is always very boring. The TV is on all the time which is a conversation killer. Only glad the cricket was on - something to do and talk about. Also visited Brother-in-law and his partner - both are wonderful people and always a pleasure to visit.
But, as country people are want to do - it is constant cups of coffee and biscuits. SO very hard diet wise. Lunch was frozen crumbed fish fillets and chicken nuggets with salad. So I piled up the salad and ate one piece of fish. I had no way of calculating points, so just hoped for the best. Said no to cakes and felt very pious!
We had decided to make tea and took our bits 'n pieces with us. A meat & vegetable lasagne - using some of the "light" meat sauce from home as a base, layering alternately with light ricotta, cooked eggplant & red capsicum and fresh spinach layer. So NO cream sauce at all. Just finished the top with pasta layer, fresh tomato and grated light tasty cheese. It was beautiful. Kids picked out the eggplant - little fussy critics - but we found it to be tasty and filling. Made a huge quantity and I worked out that each serving size was probably about 5 points! Brilliant - so a small glass of red wine was consumed too.
Tried the Weight Watchers/Nestle choc mousse tonight - YUM YUM YUM. With only 1 point per serve I ate both, which sounds piggy but I still have 6 points to use up.....red wine looking good...again.
Tomorrow I have an unfortunate date with the dentist with a niggly tooth. So that is something I am not looking forward to at all. As it is going to be another hot day, it will also be an opportunity to wash the towels and sheets.............the life of a wife, mother and DG is not to be taken lightly!
cheers
