Well, I ran out of spinach. A thorough glance at the fridge revealed nothing that looked healthy. Same deal in the freezer. But I did have a few tater tots left. Hmmm. Now you KNOW I'm not passin' those up.
So I dump the rest of the bag into a frying pan (no time for oven baking) and throw away the bag. And then I look at the tots covering the bottom of the pan and I wonder, "How much is too much in tater-tot-for-lunch-land?" Realizing the answer is in my trash can, I retrieve the bag. Twelve tots have 170 calories. So now I'm counting tots. Twelve. Twenty-four. Oops -- like 32 tots. So+ 32 tots is like 510 calories. Plus the BBQ sauce I NEED to make them even tastier, so that's almost 600 calories. I was going for more like 250-300 for lunch. Dang. The tots look GOOD.
But I am strong. I am invincible. I am WO---MA---A---A---N.
So I ate like 20. With BBQ sauce. So sue me. My diet has tots. And you know I'm eating the remaining 12 this afternoon. Probably without reheating. But with sauce.
Note to self: buy more spinach.
Whole foods has exactly the spinach dish I was thinking of in the deli today: leaves, pine nuts, raisins, oil---except they sauteed it. Which means you could add parmesan shavings, which would be really good. Not the right direction I'm afraid. I had salmon in fig & cider sauce from WF for lunch---brain food!
ReplyDeleteWorking out later, important since I had large Chinese dinner last night. I don't own a scale, & I'm glad---I go by waistline. KRG

ReplyDeleteHi Tracy, it's Melisa (you know, crazy anti M)
ReplyDeleteOkay, Kathy sent me your blog, I think so I could share in your pain, or share my diet/weight loss (not) pains too! I've now been on the "I can't stand that roll of fat around my waist anymore diet" for the past 3 months. I finally crashed and burned and well, I'm almost back to where I started - weight wise! So I'm now eating dust and living off the smell of food . Otherwise I gain weight!!
Oh and always weigh in the morning only, after the detox tea has taken its effect, and stark naked... those PJ's weigh a lot!!!
ReplyDeleteM: That's the thing -- I don't think this torso fat is EVER going away. I will probably just give up/in in a few weeks and go back to 120-whatever and keep the old-lady pants. Definitely agree re weighing in am after purge. Haven't done it naked yet, because I don't want to see myself naked. Not good.
