My weight is going down, but yesterday I slipped a little. I was baking cookies for a friend's birthday, and of course, I had to sample several of them. I was not happy with the results! They don't taste very sweet. And they don't look that exciting. So I'm actually going throw the whole batch away rather than bring them to work. He doesn't want a big deal made of his birthday anyway, so it's ok. I hate throwing away food, but if I don't, I'll just eat more of them, and that's worse. And I'm not proud of these cookies. They wouldn't make people happy, because they are disappointingly non-sweet. I need a new recipe. I will chalk this up as practicing for being a grandma. By the time I have a grandchild, I'll have the cookie baking figured out.
I ate a couple of cookies again this morning, too, and that confirmed my suspicions. What a cookie letdown! I might stop by Panera and buy my friend a professionally baked cookie.
I had shrimp scampi yesterday in my lunch, the highest calorie meal yet, but so delicious. I think I will bring the other serving today, so I'll be done with it and back on track. Since I've already eaten cookies. And I don't feel like cooking. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll cook up the other four days' worth of meals. Chicken and filet mignon.
I have today, Sunday, and Monday-- three more days of work, and then I get three days off (but it will be ruined by chemo! Yuck! I'll be so glad to be done with this!)
