June 11, 2008

Had a really good time on Sunday with some friends. HHT built a fire pit in the backyard and we just had a rip roaring good time...of course Monday I was dragging a wee bit. HHT came home Monday afternoon and we took a nap during his lunch hour. Didn't help too much. LOL
I'm finally back down to the 41lb loss mark. I was having a hard time the last couple of days of not eating what I should, but I'm better today.
I'm just so cold all of the time and it doesn't help that it is still in the 50s here for a high. I am betting this will be the 1st summer I might actually enjoy 80 degree days as not being too hot. Even now in my slippers, my feet are cold. I was so cold last night that HHT got my nice warm fleece blankie so that I could actually get to sleep. Who knew that losing weight could cause such a great cool down. I look forward to getting to my goal weight so that my hormones can level out again and hopefully I'll be back to normal...such as it was. LOL
I tried a new recipe last night per HHT's request. I was going to throw the brisket into the crockpot, but he requested that it at least be cooked in the oven. I found this recipe for the grill and brined the meat, made the rub and the mop then proceeded to slow cook it on the grill for 3 hours. It was my 1st attempt at something like that. Anyway, it was a hit! In fact I think that HHT, the girls and myself ate 2lbs of the 3lb brisket. We finally had to slice the rest and quickly get it into the refridgerator or it would have all been gone. Guess I'll have to remember that one. :o)
