We have just returned from Lunch Bunch and a trip to the grocery store for Memorial Day weekend goodies.
It will be interesting to see how I come through this. Since last Monday, May 17th, I’ve lost 5.4 lbs. I would like to continue that trend, NOT gain it all back this weekend!
At Lunch Bunch today, I ate HALF of my lunch, bringing the other half home. I can cut up the remaining chicken fingers for a meal-sized chef salad in the coming days.
My husband talked with GREAT enthusiasm about cooking out a LOT this weekend, starting tonight, where he said he really wanted a steak and baked potato. We have agreed that we should be able to enjoy TWO steak and baked potato meals from what we have previously eaten in ONE sitting.
He also really was hungry for kielbasa on the grill. (We grill this along with a lot of veggies.) We will be able to get TWO meals from that, as well.
Finally, he really wanted grilled hamburgers. (Are you getting the impression that I’ve been mistreating my husband?)
We will cook a full platter of these, and they should serve us for THREE meals.
If our weather is cooperative, we should be able to cook three nights, garnering delicious food for 7 dinners. We’ll also have a chef salad dinner from the chicken fingers I brought home today. I’m HOPING that being really careful with our portions, plus eating a bit lighter at lunch, will get us through this holiday weekend at least at the same place we are now, weight-wise (if not a bit less) with big smiles on our faces.
Happy Memorial Day weekend!
