Sometimes, Saturdays are trying days… usually those come after long weeks where I didn’t track what I ate, when I splurged more than I should have, when I didn’t take as many walks as Oliver would have liked.
Sometimes, however, I have done everything right. Today was one of those days! I stepped onto the scale and found that I had removed 2.6 pounds!!! This is not particularly usual, but it couldn’t have come at a better time. I had a few weeks where I had gained a little weight, so this was exactly what I needed to get right back on track.
To celebrate my success, I treated myself to some mussels!
A whole heaping pile of asparagus on the side… what a treat! It was certainly a good way to a great day! Goodbye pound number 43, you won’t be missed!

After a long hiatus, Chris and I decided it was time to crack the wings book open again. This time, it fell open to citrus wings with a rum glaze. Pretty fantastic, and certainly summery for this unseasonably warm weather we have been having!
A little spice from a jalapeno, lots of fresh citrus flavor from lemon and lime juice, a little punch from the rum, and some nice sweetness from molasses in the glaze. There were definitely a lot of flavors going on, but they came together nicely.
A healthy side of green beans… and by side I mean half a plate! Done just they way I like them, ie. a little crunchy. What could be better for a fine spring day?
