Oh, Yummy Easter
24 03 2008My dad, husband, and I all gave up red meat for Lent. I have to admit that I was the least successful at the feat. I had red meat a couple times while Dad and WH were perfect angels. Anyway, for Easter we grilled steaks for lunch. Yum! Mom also made loaded baked potatoes and her amazing broccoli casserole. To top it off we had her homemade banana pudding which is to die for! So needless to say, there were fat and calories galore and no way I could even attempt counting the points. I’ll add that there were some jelly beans and Hershey kisses mixed in there, too! I really enjoyed the meal. That afternoon I went for a 50 min. walk/jog and didn’t eat anything else for the rest of the day. I was stuffed until bed time. I know skipping meals is not the best idea, but I had eaten so much rich food that I just couldn’t stomach anything else, and I knew my points were spent for the day! I’m also proud that I refused to take home any leftovers because my, oh, my I would have eaten it all!

YEAH for you making exercise a priority
I find that if I eat a really big rich meal now that I can go all the rest of the day without eating. I’m sure it’s not the healthiest thing to skip meals, but forcing myself to eat goes against what I have learned in WW…so you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place!
