Nesting

Last night I went out to dinner (Japanese teppanyaki where they cook in front of you on the grill—YUM) and ordered calamari and chicken which was GOOD, but I went at 5pm (way too early) and I also had 2 glasses of wine along with the ice cream they give you for dessert.

THEN, I had a 2 1/2 hour phone conversation which ended at around 9:30pm and obviously required drinks and a celebration for us both making it through it. After a dirty martini, 2 beers and some whipped cream flavored vodka on ice (plus 2 small slices of margarita pizza and some seared tuna), I was at a whopping 60 points for the day, way too many of which were booze points. Luckily my weekly point allowance allowed for it, but still. No bueno. 

This morning, I woke up with the sunrise and built a nest out of pillows and blankets on the sofa to watch as the beautiful colors decorated the sky above the reservoir across the street. I had this delicious (2 pt) lunch of stewed tomatoes, artichoke bottoms (have you ever heard of those? they’re amazing!) and a small can of tuna all mixed together and simmered on the stove. Delicious.

Then I went grocery shopping, ran some errands and returned to my nest. Is this not the coziest thing you’ve ever seen?! I can't believe I've never done this before on my couch.

Now I’m into a new day of WW points and waiting for my chicken breast to finish roasting, which I’m going to pair with garlic cauliflower, brussels sprouts and brown rice.

Here is my current view from the nest; watching the full white moon dancing with the clouds from a bed of warmth and comfort. Hope you’ve all had a lovely relaxing moment to yourself this weekend.
