about last night...

I made that fish recipe with the teriyaki glaze and it was awful! I wasn't going to tell you, but I wouldn't want you to make it and then be mad at me. Like I said, there are a million more recipes, so I'll try another. Part of the problem is me - I'm always messing with a recipe, either making it more spicy, less fattening, adding extra vegetables (I'm famous for that!), so I can't really blame the recipe for not turning out. Funny enough, most of the time I do that it works out okay, but not last night. We didn't even have a glass of wine with it, which always makes things taste better (heehee!). Mondays are hard enough without a yucky dinner - oh well, I was wanting to cut back anyway! On that note, while there are many ways to cut back a little, having a light dinner is one of the best. By the end of the day your body doesn't need a lot of calories - it doesn't take much energy to watch The Bachelor (who do you think he's going to pick??). You'll store less fat and sleep better if your body doesn't have to stay up late digesting your dinner. The saying "eat like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch, and a pauper for dinner" is true - you want to have a lot of energy to start your day, and less to end it. Hope you're having a good week - Melissa
