Blasphemy! How is that even possible!? I don't think I'd be able to have the same wherewithal to do that with tiramisu.

Happy Valentine's Day all!
Great meme!
Weekend was decent and I always enjoy spending time with family. Yesterday, I fell asleep during the Superbowl. Unfortunately, I didn't win a jackpot gambling so I guess it will be back to the grind today. No plans today for Valentine's Day but I did get my Mom chocolate and flowers over the weekend. I'll celebrate in honor of Valentine's Day with a friend at a later date since she is dealing with family medical issues.
QOTD: Valentine's Day as a kid couldn't be beat. It was always great getting Valentines and tons of candy. I try to do something every year for Valentine's Day even when I don't have a Valentine. The few years I didn't celebrate I ended up feeling lonely.
B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, Tangerine.
L: Chicken Salad and cape cod 45% less fat chips.
D: Steak. Either I need to make it tonight or toss it in the freezer.

Good morning ~ I hope you have a mellow week JB. I had a nice long weekend - the spa was fab. I'd never had a body scrub before. It was amazing. We spent the rest of the day IN the pool, not just at the pool. SO FUN. Saturday was mellow - errands and house stuff. Sunday if you can believe it, I barely watched the first half of the game. I wasn't feeling well, just tired and the guys were so loud that I went to my room watched Gilded Age - great by the way - and napped. I'm feeling better today and I don't feel like I missed a thing, huh.
I/we are on the the wagon until the Derby with a possible St. Pats break... It's less about the drinks on St Pats day for me anymore - it's all about the food and Quiet Man.
QOTD - The years I was in a relationship with Ben and Jerry were the best - so sweet 
B- coffee, egg beaters casserole
l- chicken bites salad
d- beef ribs
s- pepperoni
Have a great day ya'll!

Loved the relations ship with Ben and Jerry-I had the same relationship with them, they are "so sweet"! Unfortunately, I had to breakup with them :-(

Hello Menu Friends,
I had a great weekend. We drove to Montana for my FILs 95th birthday on Friday. On the drive over we stopped (per DD request) at a fur, leather, and goods trader store. OMG, they had the most amazing stuff there. I bought myself some jewelry and a really cute fuzzy vest. DD likes to collect animal pelts so I purchased her a raccoon pelt for her colleciton. It was sooo soft. Saturday we had lunch with my Mom at our favorite mexican restaurant, then DD and I went thrift store/antiquing. DD was on the search for quality wool blankets (at a reasonable price), vintage metal picnic coolers (we found one but it was $150, apparently they are popular with the vintage car crowd), and vintage hard sided suitcases. We found the suitcase and wool blanket plus a coyote pelt. I spoiled DD last weekend with these purchases. Saturday evening we had a dinner for my FIL with prime rib. He has become a fussy eater and doesn't eat that much. He does love my split pea soup so I made a big batch for him plus a vegetable beef barley soup that he can eat on for days. He says he would rather have soup then anything else. Sunday, we drove back home, we did no****ch the game (I have no idea who won) but rarely ever do.
So my weight was only down 0.4 pounds last week. I decided to shake things up while I was out of town so I allowed myself to eat more calories than usual. Today I am back to tracking everything and my workouts. I will be a bit nervous to weigh this weekend... I am also adding green tea extract to help stimulate my metabolism.
QOTD: Probably as a kid in school. As an adult we haven't put too much stock in Valentines day

you're pretty close to goal. I found the last 20 lbs to be a BEAR to lose! It gets harder and harder the closer you get to a normal BMI (and I think you're close if not already there). Just keep plugging away - you'll get there. Eventually...

QOTD: a few years ago I put post it notes from my kids bedroom doors to the kitchen for breakfast. The notes were signed with love and thinking of you etc. They loved it!
Busy this week with appointments, work, and going out of town. Not fun. I'm looking forward to next week, when it's a little more calm.
B: sliced apple
L: cheese burger
S: probably the shrimp I didn't eat yesterday with peas and rice
