I drink several tablespoons of vinegar everyday in a drink recipe called "Good Girl Moonshine". Recently I started experimenting with mixing my vinegars. I always keep the mother from Apple Cider Vinegar in my vinegar jar and then start pouring various flavors of vinegar to my mixture. I l-o-v-e the taste of good balsamic vinegar, but want the benefits of Apple Cider. I had several bottles of red & white wine vinegar that wasn't being used so I poured it into the vinegar mixture. I need to visit a health food store and buy more Apple Cider vinegar with the mother, but in the meantime this is how I'm stretching the vinegars I have on hand. LO has started drinking my Good Girl Moonshine but he insist that his drink is called Good Boy Moonshine.
Today has been a healthy eating disaster. I'm going to get on the scales in the morning like usual, but it is NOT going to be a pleasant experience.
Lunch was at Olive Garden - soup & salad. I did resist eating the bread sticks! DGS18 and I split a piece of Raspberry Cheesecake. We have been ordering & sharing this dessert for as long as i can remember (15 years?). I only took 3 bites so hopefully the damage will be minimum and worthy of the bonding with DGS18.
Then came the bag of potato chips I brought home with me from the grocery store. I didn't count the chips I ate, but estimate there was a couple servings. Although I might be fooling myself and it was closer to 3. Ugh. I did manage to stop and dump the chips into trash can so I can't retrieve them and eat the remaining 5 servings!
then came the birthday party. A friend made the cake and was proud of herself. She did put a lot of thought, love & effort into the cake. It seemed wrong somehow to refuse to eat it. I did pass on the pizza, ice cream and punch being served.
Tomorrow is 2 more birthday parties. I hope they bought their cakes and don't have an emotional investment in it.
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.
