Since Luis's mom left he has been feeling a little husky and recently the best thing ever happened: he had to admit that (in his own words) "my jeans hurt my body". HA! I have been on diets several times during our marriage. He NEVER has. He just breaths out and loses 5 pounds -- or at least that USED to be true.
So, last week we started Weight Watchers and being the competitive-about-pointless-battles person that I am I whopped him hardcore with the score 5 pounds to almost 3 pounds. So last night I decided to plan the week's menu. I made chili that was very WW friendly and planned to make 4 other WW things for dinners.
Tonight, while waiting for him to come home from work, I started on the Black Bean Lasagna. He took longer to get here than I expected (but considering the times of economic downturn and joblessness I am glad he was working) so I started on the Clam Chowder. He got home and instead of quitting I made Italian Lentils too.
THAT WAS NOT OBNOXIOUS ENOUGH -- nooooo, I had to pack each serving into a ziplock bag so that the food would be portioned and ready so we wouldn't be tempted to eat crap. In the end I packed 27 meals. Gag. I am such a D O R K!!!
HOWEVER be very clear -- next Monday when we weigh ourselves, I will continue my winning streak. My goal is to have him in tears. Not really, but I am considering the logistics of creating a score board (that will mysteriously disappear the week he beats me).

I need to hire you to pack up my meals like that! Pretty dang impressive. I love how you turn into Martha Stewart/Suzy homemaker when away from work.
Oh my gosh...that is hilarious! No wonder your facebook status says you are being lazy today...you did all your work last night! I seriously wish I could make meals like that and freeze it...maybe one day. I swear I eat better when I plan it, but I just can't seem to get back into the planning frenzy that I once had. And Weight Watcher's too...you are awesome!!!
