Now it's official

I had my first IP consultation today complete with weight and measurements.  I wasn't surprised by what the numbers were.  Not happy with it but not surprised.

I think they were surprised.  At how prepared I was.  At what I'd already done in the last week (down to about 10% of my former carb intake).  Already pinning Phase 1 recipes on a board in Pinterest. Already trying to eat like the protocol except for the IP food.

What can I say, I'm an engineer.  Its how we roll.

The receptionist was saying oh you should try such and such.  I said well I made this (the chicken medallions and spaghetti squash) on Saturday.  Her eyes got big.  She said that if I had any good recipes I should send them in.  I said I'm blogging them all.  She said you should post links on our FB page.  Ummm OK, I'd love to.

That's when I told her that I had a dream that they hired me to teach cooking classes.  She just smiled.  OK so it will stay a dream for a while but wouldn't that be awesome!  Even as a part time thing.

No recipes tonight although I did make a great veggie stir fry yesterday for dinner.  After the burger and rutabaga fries John and I just weren't that hungry so all veg hit the spot.  I'll post some pix of that another time.

Tonight, to get ready for the full fledged "program" starting tomorrow, I made these little chocolate donuts cakes:


I haven't tried them yet so I'll have to let you know if they are any good.  If they rock (which I'm kind of hoping they do), I'll post instructions later in the week.


So long for now!
