I'm waiting for our Elder J. Hunter Otis to call home from the airport on his way to California. I hope he has time to call. Otherwise we'll wait until Christmas to hear from him. Either way it's all good. Just the life of a missionary mom I guess.
Yesterday I took advantage of the sunshine and worked in the yard. I pulled all the weeds and cleaned out all my petunias. I love those purple beauties! I'll miss them as winter gets closer. It's been a lovely autumn though. I can't complain.
Last night I had talapia for the first time. It's a white fish. We made a foil dinner out of it. I rolled out a big piece of heavy foil first. Then I placed the pieces of fish in the bottom. I sprinkled it with a pinch of salt and ground some fresh pepper over all. Then I grabbed some of my home dried oregano and basil and sprinkled the fish with that. I also added some garlic powder.
Next I placed freshly rinsed and trimmed asparagus on top of the fish. On top of that I added caramelized onions and mushrooms. I added another pinch of salt and pepper. Then I added a splash of lemon juice and sealed up the whole thing and put it on the grill.
25 minutes later we opened up the foil to the most amazing foil dinner! YUM! How I love fish!
Along with my 5 oz of fish and half a cup of veggies I ate a handful of yummy salad! I sprinkled it with the most amazing balsamic vinegar! As I hummed through my dinner like a happy lunatic, my husband grinned! So not only was I the cook, I was the entertainment at dinner last night! Ha! I don't think I've ever enjoyed a meal so much.
I stuck with the plan though. But, I forgot to eat my fruit! Yikes! Duh! How could I have missed my between meals med. apple? Oh yeah, I was outside pulling weeds! Goodness!
Now I can say that I've survived 5 days on the HCG diet. I know what it's like to have a fire in my belly now. It's burning and churning the calories baby! Finally, my body is working how it was meant to work--and doing it right now!
