Got a taste of champagne and endless fortune…

I should have mentioned this before but, I am terrible at updating things. Fortunately, this means that I have been busy at work therefore not losing my mind. The busier I am at work the closer I am to job security, even if this is just a temporary position. Anyhoot, I've been OK.

The diet business is harder than I thought, mostly on the weekends. Those of you who know me know that I like to consume alcoholic beverages from time to time. Of late I have cut it down to just the weekends, unfortunately, that has yet to change. In Phase I we're not supposed to drink anything but I hang out with people who are social drinkers and we tend to socialize on the weekends with other people. I don't think I've been too bad. Here's a list of the 'bad' things I've had this weekend:

Friday:

- 1 bottle of red wine

Saturday:

-1 cocktail with mango juice, light lime soda

- 2 gin and seltzers with a splash of diet coke

- 1 glass of sparkling red wine

- 1 can of PBR

Sunday:

- 3 glasses of pinot grigio

- 2 slices of baguette with butter

Also, on Monday I had a sandwich because a coworker was returning to Colombia and the place we ordered from in his honor ONLY had sandwiches. 

Sigh.

Besides that however, I've been pretty good. I did stop working out this past week because of a swollen lymph node under my arm that made it impossible for me to have full mobility of my right arm. It was extremely painful and the swelling has all but diminished. Now I am just left with burning questions in regards to my breast cancer status and a stick of deodorant sans the antiperspirant. 

In happier news, I finally made the crustless quiche I've been dying to try out. I have a slice of it for breakfast now with a can of V8 and it is delish. The recipe is in the works. I had to modify a recipe I found on-line to accommodate the ingredients I had at home but I took advantage of the pie pan being available. We've also gotten the w

hole pork tenderloin thing down, which I highly recommend. It is so delish and it goes great on salads! I've made a small jar of rub that I can use for all sorts of meats. I also had lobster for the first time this weekend and that went well. I also invested in metal skewers that we can now use on the grill all summer long. Mmm, grilled veggie kabobs. 

Things to look forward to this week: the usage of fresh artichokes, they have 5 grams of fiber per choke, one of the highest ranked fiberous vegetables; chicken salad made easy; and some Quelf…
