Day 19 - Wednesday Night Veronica Club

Every Wednesday night, I go to choir practice and then my friends come over for a double whammy night of TV, Veronica Mars and American Idol, or Veronica and Lost, or Veronica and Invasion. Note how Veronica is always in the equation - this is the real reason for our get togethers as our Music Pastor's son Ryan is on Veronica Mars and it's always fun to watch someone you know on TV, not to mention we have all gotten hooked (just like Stephen King) on this great teenage girl detective show.

Why did this make my vanishing fat blog? Because our Wednesday night parties always have centered on food, and what we were going to eat and who was brining what and did we have desert and who wanted what flavor of soda and well, you get the picture. Last night, my friend Jill put in a request for lasagna and so I bought a lasagna and garlic bread and bags of salad. Mind you, if I were to have eaten this meal, I would have used up this week's points and next weeks, too.

Instead, I ate whole wheat spaghetti with red peppers and tomato chunks and fat free cottage cheese and pretended it was lasagna. It was hard as my friends were moaning the deeply satisfied moan only a cheesy lasagna can produce.

I wanted some SO bad. I held tough. I woke up this morning and weighed myself and had lost another 2 pounds since last weigh in. The wheat spaghetti did it's job. Hooray for me and my burgeoning self control.
