I am heading out tonight to attend a birthday party and I will be dressed in a brand new outfit that – quite uncharacteristically – I can’t wait to show off! I am excited to see the people who will be there both just to spend time with them and to have them see the changes that I have continued to go through since Christmas.
It’s a potluck and I have taken it upon myself to create a reduced fat, reduced calorie version of a not-quite-traditional trifle. I am planning to watch my portion control on most things at supper and am hoping to find vegetables or a salad that I like so that I can largely fill my plate up with those. I’m fairly confident that there will be a second dessert there this evening that I will likely want to sample, so it never hurts to plan ahead and know what choices I will be making to allow for certain indulgences.
I am still flying high because of my milestone loss! I just can’t shake this feeling and, truth be told, I am happy to have it hang around for a while longer. It’s going to be a wonderful Valentine’s Day and I hope everyone else is also fortunate enough to be celebrating with their loved ones!

It was such a great night!!!
ReplyDeleteWorld's Easiest Trifle Recipe:
In a large glass bowl (preferably with flat sides) layer yellow sponge dessert cups (4 or 5), then a can each (reserve the juice) of sliced peaches and pears. Spread a little of the juice from each can into the dish to soak into the cakes. Next, prepare a no fat instant vanilla pudding package with skim milk and wait for only a minute or two for it to partially set up, then pour it over the fruit and level it. Finally, add a layer of fat free (here, I can only get 95% fat free) Cool Whip on top and level it. You can add sprinkles in top it you want - today I used red ones because it was Valentine's Day. It is such an easy, but delicious dessert! It is my mom's recipe (although I changed the vanilla and whip to be lower fat / calories) and I just love it! Let me know if you try it and what you think?
I love seeing that you are still flying high...as well you should be.
ReplyDeleteHeres to a GREAT WEEK for us both.
