My Valentine’s Day

Had a wonderful day today. No sweeties, no chocolates, and a dozen red roses delivered to me, most unexpectedly, at work. I may have blubbed a bit. Who needs calories when you have lurve?

Hubby promised a while back to cook for me tonight, but after toying with roast duck, roast potatoes, and the works, he asked me if I’d like to pick something healthy for him to make, since I had just got back on the wagon and he didn’t want to derail my efforts.

Came home from work, did a workout, had a shower, got prettied up, and sat down to:

  • Kung Po chicken (2 points)
  • Brown rice (3 points)
  • Steamed veggies (0 points)
  • Glass of chilled white wine (1.5 points)
  • Followed by WW lemon cheesecake (3 points)
  • All by candlelight (priceless)

All warm and fuzzy inside (and not just from the wine), and off to bed for an early night. Hope you all had a good one, whatever your circumstances. ‘night all.
