Week 2:March Madness and an annoying email

I’ve gone two weeks, without my most favourite things. I’m doing well with the temptations of yummy desserts and amazingly delicious foods I see everyone else eating without a care in the world. Week two is frustrating because I don’t feel nor do I see a significant amount of change with my body. I have t constantly remind myself this is a process and it takes time for the body to readjust.

This week I found my most favourite chicken seasoning mix, La Grille, by Club House: Barbecue Chicken — I’ve been searching for this seasoning mix ever since I moved to the City. And I finally found it at Metro of all places. So chicken dinner is about to get a whole lot more exciting. Is it sad I get excited about chicken seasoning?

I received an email this week too. I very annoying email. As if the universe was pointing a finger at me and laughing. (See below) Cruel, cruel world.

Yeah, apparently Swiss Chalet has all you can eat fries. How thoughtful. Anyway I trudge on, distract myself with vegetables like Kale (my new favourite snack) and Season one of Mad Men. I’m proud of myself for taking a more healthy approach to eating and feeding my body. My skin is still glowing and my face looks less puffy in the morning – you know, less “carb face” as some would say.

I intend to get through St. Paddy’s day without the beer and maybe with a swig of my old friend Rob Roy (see recipe below). I’m also going to see Young Frankenstein, The Musical very much looking forward to it.

The Rob Roy

1.5 oz scotch

0.5 oz sweet vermouth

fill a mixing glass with cracked ice. Add scotch and sweet vermouth. Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry.
