Not tonight, however. Hubby Dearest has a business dinner and a baseball game, so I'm on my own tonight. BUT, I am going to the grocery store after golf today to get the additional supplies necessary for the Chicken Lo Mein recipe I have picked out in the "200 under 200" cookbook. By the by, along with the Diet Coke & Rum soaked pork tenderloin last night (yummy), I made the Fuji Apple Slaw from that cookbook. Very tasty, but this morning when I looked at it thru the clear container I put the leftovers in, the apples were not as gorgeous as they were last night. I am, however, quite sure they taste just fine. I also had 1/2 a pear left in the fridge, so I diced that up and added it to the slaw. Thus far, the recipes I've tried from the cookbook have met with positive responses. And as I may have mentioned before, Hubby Dearest is NOT what one would call an "adventurous" eater. I will admit some of the recipes don't interest me, but there are enough good ones to make the purchase worthwhile for me. I'm gonna have to look for the Vita Tops mentioned in the book. Apparently, they can be made into a number of lovely desserts and sweet treats. They are cookies and muffins, from the sound of things.
Speaking of golf, (as I did much earlier in this ramble) I was doing the caloric math regarding what I actually spent in calories while enjoying my favorite pastime. I was slightly shocked... in a good way. I have a hard time believing I actually used that many calories, but I'm going to take it anyway. I guess 4 hrs. of whacking away at that little white pellet is more physical than I imagined. :) Well, yay!! for me. Off to the links again today, so there goes a few more calories!! Now the trick will be not to feel so cocky that I let that Skinny Cow mow me down again. Just as I had mastered the "100 Calorie packs of the Devil", I begin "using" again... that damned cow!! I'll get it all under control. I think the preliminary plan will be to only have "The Cow" after I've played golf. On days I only do my regular exercises, NO COW for me!! That ought to teach me.
So are you using a cart this year? I can't remember if you were going to or not.
ReplyDeleteWhen Hubby Dearest & I play, we will walk. When I play with "the girls" everyone rides. When riding, I try to walk as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteI love chicken chow mein. Yummy. I think I will check out the cookbook for myself. 200 under 200...sounds good to me. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's it hten, I'll have to see if my store has the book. They had her last one. I hate to admit, I've never tried golf. miniture golf, which I sucked, so I never tried the real thing. And there is one at the end of my road.
ReplyDeleteI bet that tenderloin is good! Could I do it without the diet coke or is that what makes it good?
ReplyDeleteI think your plan for playing (ok ok ok, eating) the 'damn cow' only on days that you golf is a good idea. I know that when I was cutting back on soda (diet soda at that point) I would only allow myself to drink a diet soda as a 'reward' for specific behaviors. It worked! After a while I no longer even wanted the diet soda on a regular basis and now very rarly drink one at all!
ReplyDeleteGlad the golf is so calorie-burning - who'd have thought?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to get that cookery book now!
