Tomorrow I start weight watchers. It's being offered where I work, and I am looking forward to the support of other women who are trying to accomplish the same thing I am. I need that motivation, that push to my goals. I need someone to take that chocolate bar out of my hand...actually, it's not chocolate I crave, but bacon.
If you've been a reader of mine for a while, you know how I eat. I source most of our food from local sources. I cook from whole foods and avoid processed at all cost. I sweeten with syrup and honey. I use olive oil and real butter. And I eat real bacon and eggs. I LOVE bacon and eggs. In fact, when I was deciding what my last pre-weight watchers meal would be, I thought I would cook up my favorite comfort dish: eggs from a local farmer scrambled with local cheddar cheese and a big pat of butter. On the side would be a homemade hash made from multi-colored potatoes, peppers, and onions saved from my garden last fall. Over the top of it all? Bacon. A big slab of brown sugar cured bacon sizzled and chopped. Mmmmmm! So delicious. And my whole family likes it. Of course, my kids like it best with a big splash of ketchup on top...
Then, I hesitated. After a long day at work, what I really needed tonight was a big glass of red wine. Something to sip slowly while I read on my nook. Something to calm my nerves and help me sleep. With a big breakfast, I usually make a steamy cup of coffee or cocoa...I suppose if I was adventuresome I might have juice with a splash of champagne or white wine. But, tonight I really needed red wine. Or bacon. Wine. Bacon.
Oh, heck...I'll just have them both!
