Guests 4 Dinner

Hi All,
     Sorry about missing yesterday but not much was happening. It was just one of those trudging along kind of days. You know the kind of day that just is with nothing really good or bad happening. Kind of like a musical movie montage, it just gets you from point A to B.

     Today on the other hand is promising to be a special day for me. Tonight is the first time since starting this whole lifestyle change that I will be cooking for others. The real treat here is that both my cousin and her husband are also working on getting in shape. She is currently doing the weight watchers program and he is training to do a charity marathon or 1/2 marathon this May in Ottawa (By the way later this week I will include a link on the front page of my blog where you can go to contribute to his fundraising campaign). Dinner tonight will be fun. I am preparing one of the families favorite new recipes, Mexican Chicken with Tomatoe and Basil Rice and Salad. I certainly hope that they will enjoy the meal as much as I do. It was one of the first recipes on this program that I tried and it was so good. It was just the kind of start I needed at the beginning to motivate me to move on with the  whole thing. It was at that point I realized that dieting or lifestyle changes didn't mean that you had to eat foods that you didn't like at all. It was an eye opener for me because I had always thought that you had to give up all those things that you loved and had to eat just vegetables and that surely wasn't for me. Well I'll let you all know how it went tomorrow and I might even  ask my guests if they have the time to comment on the blog with a dinner review. Don't worry they won't have too do it if they don't want too but I will insist that they be honest.

Have a good one, keep strong and don't let little setbacks keep you from you goals!

Thanx,
Looper
