Weekend #1 has gone down in the books, and with a bit of mixed results.
On the one hand my wife and I were able to get some exercise in on Saturday. That’s good, because as just about everyone knows, but doesn’t want to admit, Weight Loss = More Exercise + Less Food.
[Side note - Those of you reading this that don't agree with me on that statement probably fall into one of three groups: lazy people who are simply in denial about the brutal truth; product endorsers who actually have fooled themselves into believing their ab machine can help you lose 10 pounds a week in only 30 seconds of exercise a day; or exercise gurus who want to make simple things sound so complicated that your only option is to pay them to figure it out for you. At some point you'll just have to come to accept that any successful diet plan follows that same formula in its own unique way. Come on back and let me know when you have.]
The mixed results part? I almost hate to admit it, but we decided to cook up a homemade nachos feast for dinner, so we could eat it while watching the Saints/Vikings game. Hey, Emeril’s recipes can’t send us wrong, can they? Well, all that pulled pork and cheese sent me to bed full and caused me to wake up in the morning feeling like I ate a brick that wouldn’t digest. On top of that the pork was from Costco, not some wonderful free range organic pork. Ick. Hawaii looks just a bit further away today, so let that be a lesson to everyone out there; stay away from foods that end up behaving in any way like bricks.
Next time, we decided, less cheese, use grilled chicken instead of pork, and end up happier in the end with less time spent in the kitchen. Sorry, Emeril. We did learn one thing from you, though. Fresh cilantro, chives, and sliced pickled cherry peppers are sure yummy on nachos! Healthy, delicious Super Bowl nachos in just 2 weeks. Brett Favre, you’re welcome to join us.
