Hanging in there with counting calories! Yeah!

Went to coop last night and had a great meal. Yum. All vegetarian, and I think maybe totally vegan: sweet potatoes with vegan marshmallows, chickpea patties, steamed kale, polenta with jalapenos, and meatless chili. Dessert was banana chocolate pie. Yes - all vegan.

My plan is to make my dinner for coop completely tofu-free. Not that I don't love tofu: I do love it. I just think I can do vegetarian without it. I have some good inspiration from this site so if you don't mind I will run my menu-planning by you all over the next couple of weeks to come up with what I am going to cook.

Saturday night my dance partner Woody asked me out to dinner on Sunday. So, we had a date set up. Later I realized I had coop and couldn't make it for dinner, so I said I could do lunch. He couldn't do lunch, blah, blah, one thing after another, finally we had to settle on NEXT Saturday to go out. He was crestfallen - so sad there was no date for a week! I have not seen anyone so happy as he when I reminded him there are two contradancing nights between now and then! He is a sweetie. Again, can't believe my luck as so far. Funny how chemistry makes things work - when I showed my daughter his picture, she said "I wish I could find it somewhere in my brain to be able to say 'he is cute' but I just actually can not." lol! Looks are not everything, baby girl!

Keeping calories at appropriate levels seem to enhance my taste buds - I have some leftover teriyaki chicken for breakfast that smells like heaven! (How can the spell check not know "teriyaki"???)

Hope you are having a great Monday!

Glad the calorie counting is working out. Looks are definitely not everything! Plus I always think people are attractive or not based more on personality than physical attributes. At least once you get to know them. Teriyaki chicken for breakfast sounds good.

Great job with the food and too bad the date didn't work out for this week but as you say you will see him at dancing and the weekend will be here before you know it and you have something to look forward to. So happy things are progressing so nicely for you and you are right beauty is only skin deep...It is what is inside that really counts.

Abba ... beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder!! Woody (even if he does make think of Toy Story) seems like a very nice man!! I'm glad you are enjoying yourself!! I need to get my game back on ... must get back to that comfortable range for myself!! Calorie counting definitely helps me. Have a great day!!
