Well, strawberries are definitely out-of-season, but my husband and I decided tonight we'd have our Valentine's meal, ordered from our local Mexican restaurant. That way, I wouldn't be stressed about what to eat the day before my 3rd week "weigh-in." I consulted with a friend of mine before choosing Mexican because she has been on her plan for 3 years successfully, and I told her I didn't want to ruin my whole week in one night!
Just so anyone knows, my plan incorporates "weekly" points for just these circumstances, but I'm making this a forever thing (like exercise has been for me for at least 3 years), and I want to know what would be good for a restaurant choice. So I got chicken and shrimp fajitas, forgoing the rice, beans, sour cream, and tortillas. I did eat the guacamole salad (I reaaaaallllly miss avocados) and I put the salsa on top of the shrimp, chicken, tomatoes, onions, and peppers. All in all, about 6-8 points and I ate zero point breakfasts and lunches in anticipation of tonight.
But this is my nightly dessert (very poorly done, but who cares), a few morsels of "Lily's Chocolates" melted and then used with fruit. Every night. And it satisfies my sweet tooth that I never thought I had!
Today is the day before Valentine's day, and we often celebrate it as Galentine's Day!
I like how you have included some of the chips in this shot! do your plates match your tablecloth or is that another plate under the one holding the strawberries?
You are being so dedicated. Btw, strawberries are definitely in season in Florida. I’m surprised they aren’t being shipped to GA since Publix carries them.
@danette I shop at a store called Kroger here. I now remember I got these at Target when I went to pick up my new prescription glasses. The batch I had a week before were delicious and sweet--Target is not the place to buy produce I guess! Just trying to keep Covid exposure minimal. Sigh
@kali66 It's based on a TV character from a show called "Parks and Recreation" who came up with the idea to celebrate all her female friends the day before Valentine's day--It's a pretty hilarious made-up holiday and I like it better than valentine's day anyway. Last night, my husband and I decided we'll celebrate the 13th going forward as I think it's his least favorite holiday anyway (VAlentines).
