So after last night's dinner fiasco, I knew that I would not only need to make a meal that was decent, but one that redeemed the utter crap from last night AND be delicious and non "diety" tasting for John. He has been craving a cheeseburger, so I decided thats what I would make tonight. Sounds simple enough.. until you remember that both people eating only have 800 calories left for the day. I found the lowest fat beef I could, weighed my options of cheese, chose a yummy non low cal bread, and picked up the toppings that John likes. The good news? I TOTALLY redeemed myself! The burgers tasted like real burgers, not dry scary bits of beef like I was fearing. In fact, had John not been concerned with his calorie count for the day, he wouldn't have even known they were totally within our budget! In fact, we were even able to eat fries (18 of them) and still have calories left over! WAAAAHOOOOO! Redemption!
I hate to cut this short, but thanks to my 2 hour commute home, my whole night has been pushed back and it is now late and time for bed. Stay tuned my dear readers. Saturday is going to be a whole day of eating really really REALLY horrible food (and eating/ordering wedding cake!) and loving every morsel. Fingers crossed I don't blow all my hard work in one day.... we'll see............ :)
25 days down... 155 to go!
