Enjoying a good extended weekend, have been busy with home projects that were sorely in need of finishing. Also finished most of my Christmas gift jams, added a couple of new ones this year that I am pretty happy with: ginger pear and blackberry plum. I have been not quite so successful on the food front. I'm more regimented at work; there is less temptation. However, my workouts are better with more free time.... I have been doing Debbie Sieber's Slim in 6 videos at home, and it has been a nice change from the gym.
I have been struggling lately with the fact that the really simple diet that works for me absolutely doesn't jive with my interest and desire to cook. I love to cook, love to try new recipes, bake goodies, create beautiful presentation. Given my YEARS of dieting, I have become pretty accomplished at modifying recipes to be more healthful, but it isn't enough. I hate to think that the answer is to basically give up this part of my life, but it may be. A loaf of huckleberry zucchini bread made with Aunt Kotty's recipe has been staring me in the face for most of the weekend, reminding me that if I make delicious treats, most of the time I can't stay away from them.....sad.
