Hi. This is a quick one. I had my “cheat night” last night. Lest anyone (especially me) think that I’m becoming too clean I should say that I look forward to cheat night almost from the time the current one is over! Yesterday’s experience, though was a bit odd for me.
I had a great cardio session. I made sure to take my supplements earlier in the day(which made me a bit queasy.). I was all ready to dig into some Italian! Oh yeah. Rich and I decided to go to Pasta Pasta in Port Jeff. We sat at the window seat. It was lovely. We had unfortunately forgotten to breathe the wine we were going to bring so we bought some there. First of all the food was great!. We shared Cavatelli as an appetizer. Then what did I have? Salmon. With vegetables. I always eat salmon with vegetables. It was beautifully done and I do love salmon, but I have to get my cheat night priorities straight! Then, the bread. They do the most obscenely brilliant bread ever. It is crusty and positively soaked in some primeval butter mixture. It is heaven for a carb deficient bod. I ate the crust and very little of the bread itself. REALLY! I so have to get the cheat thing together! The wine was lovely.
So what was the mixed joy?
When we got home and into bed to watch tv, I realized I had a headache. I took a couple of Aleve(and it was fine). But then I realized that I really wanted the wine we were going to bring! I was sad about wine! Pretty weird! Rich offered to open it but it was late and we would have had to sacrifice half the bottle so we didn’t.
I’m sure I’m not the only person who experiences such feelings on a cheat night, but still I’m trying to understand them. The wine thing certainly goes to being a wine geek-ette and knowing I’m drinking only one night a week. But the rest. Why can’t I just relax at my cheat dinner and eat with impunity? It’s a question whose answer will, I hope, will present itself. For the rest I’ve already decided what my next cheat night will be. Uhuh. It will probably be next Thursday(our best fun night). I am going to scour Rich’s store for the best wine I can find and we are going to feast on PIZZA! Uhuh! Pure dining sin in a circle! I’ll think of it as a sort of cheat night deprogramming for me. It already feels good. And I have a whole week to think up toppings!
Yeah…I’m a wild one…
Hope everyone is have a peaceful and blissful day. Thanks!
