A frittata of scalloped potatoes, sauteed shallots and mushrooms, feta and Parmesan cheese accompanied by field greens dressed with a champagne vinaigrette, toast and a fine glass of Trappist ale. Dang!
This was supposed to be day 1 of my new diet and I would like to lose about 15 lbs. I started well with a breakfast of yogurt, fruit and a cappuccino. But then, I read my friend's blog and about how she and her family are moving to England and I became thirsty for ale. I know that my Trappist is not English, but that's what was in the cellar (garage). Certainly this is not a complaint. Trappist ales are some of the finest that I have ever had and I could drink the stuff daily. But, that won't do for a girl who's now officially in her 30's, given birth to two 9lb babies, is pretty much sedentary and takes after her father's side of big boned Germans. Achtung!
Since I'm not self-disciplined and really, like a small child, respond best to pleasure and pain, I'm going to post to the public the progress of my weight loss. As I don't want to suffer the pain of public humiliation, I must succeed. It also helps that my 10-year college reunion is taking place this summer. Must look good for all those people that I really don't know and/or didn't make the effort to keep in touch with. Vanity!
Today's measurements:
Bust = 38 1/2
Waist = 33
Hips = 40 1/2
Weight = 162 lbs
Definitely not a brick house; more like a German Panzer. Dang.
