Morning all!
I didn't quite make it .1 off from my goal. But I'll take it and run and be smiling all the way. I set my ticker for my next challenge ... 7 lbs by Memorial Day weekend ... Also works out to be my birthday weekend. We also go away for 5 days with friends in a few weeks and that will really really make it a challenge for me ... And I have a doctors appointment the week following Memorial Day and I want another handshake from my young cute doctor
.
My body is not fond of me today - we did horseradish all day yesterday ..do lots of standing peeling, chopping, food processoring mixing and packing away. No real exercise unless you count walking quickly away occasionally as the fumes overtook your sinus and eyes. We did 3 different batches (trying to tweak it to the hottest possible) so one was the way we regularly make it one had a tsp more sugar and sat longer before adding vinegar and one had lemon juice in it. All together it was 16 pints of tightly packed horseradish. We are down one already because we did an early Easter at friends last night and brought it as a hostess gift (my friend was asking a week ago if we were doing it again this year - have been doing it forever and give lots away) I know I bring the strangest hostess gifts lol
Soo in connection to the above I need some pats on the back ... I ate lamb, salad, broccoli, asparagus. - no Easter bread, no potatoes and NO cupcakes or Easter bunny cake that sat in front of me for hours as we all had coffee and talked then as the grands colored eggs ... And it smelled oh so chocolately and sweet and yummy I swear I could have dived in head first and stayed till it was all gone.
Today doing a small prime rib for us - will make potatoes for hubs and vegetable will be asparagus .... And fresh and smoked kielbasa will be going in water soon for brunch along with the hardboiled eggs and fresh horseradish ... So a good LC day today. Oh I need to make Cheri's White sauce to go with the meat I think ... Better do that soon so it can mingle all the flavors before dinner... Don't you all love my free form thought process as I write a note for you all ... I speak the same way ... Makes some people crazy hehehe
Have a great day everyone!
You did great this challenge and hurrah on resisting Easter temptation!
(I LOVE horseradish--have a friend who brings me some authentic stuff from that place in ILL--horseradish capital? every St. Pats)
