I’ve been trying to lose some weight lately. It’s really hard once you’ve reached a certain age. My friend’s husband, who I’m pretty sure has some form of Asperger’s, told me it doesn’t really matter if I’m fat because I’m so old, no one is really looking. Some days I wonder of I’m just meant to be this way.
Weekends are particularly difficult. Today, my husband made no secret of his craving for a steak. He wanted to go out to a popular place nearby that puts on a really good steak. I would have suggested we take the cheaper route and make on at home, but we make notoriously bad steaks in our house. I’m not sure if it’s the cut of meat I buy or our special needs grill. Our steaks never taste as good as what we get offsite.
Tonight I had the choice to stay on program and order a salad or a piece of grilled chicken or the 6 oz. filet with mashed potatoes. I chose the green salad with a low-fat vinaigrette while my husband ordered a ribeye with a loaded baked potato and a bowl of lobster bisque. Did you really believe that? I ordered the filet and mashed potatoes, of course. I can get a salad at home.
Tomorrow marks the start of a new week. I’ll get back on the wagon then. But tonight, I think I made a really good choice.
