That's right, I turned down free pizza today. It's not every day that your boss offers to buy you pizza for lunch. I respectfully declined in the name of my weight loss quest. Go me!
I did well today until dinner. We had leftovers. There was enough lasagna and stir fry for about 1.5 servings each and I probably had more than I should have. I know I did, because I'm feeling pretty gross right now.
I don't like to waste anything and I don't like clutter. I'm finding out that is a real problem for me in regard to food. I don't want to throw edible food away, but I also don't want it taking up space in my refrigerator or cupboard for too long. What is the best solution? Eat it.
I know, ideally I would only buy what I need. We all know how difficult that is. I go the extra mile and plan a menu for the week each Sunday and grocery shop accordingly. I still end up with too much food.
Maybe the root of the problem is that I don't know how to cook for two. Every time I cook, I end up with a family-sized pot/dish/pan of whatever it was that I decided to make. It doesn't help that most recipes are designed that way. That is also how most cookware is designed. I can't seem to find a head of lettuce in the store that won't make three to four giant salads. As I mentioned yesterday, I can only eat so much salad. I'm not a rabbit for gosh sakes...
Ranting finished.
