Still no weigh in

To be honest I am worried about gaining all the weight I lost recently over this long weekend as my normal "being sensible" and eating less does not lose weight at the same rate as the Marines diet. This long weekend my eating has not really been sensible, but I have consciously eaten less than in the past. Today started with a plate of last nights' garlic chicken supreme that I split with Mary half each. This will be my lunch too as I didn't get up till 10:30. Tonight we have meat stew with golden vegetable rice. That has been slow cooking yesterday and we shall warm it up again for dinner time today. The meat goes so tender when cooked that way. Notice we are having rice instead of potatoes or dumplings. This is lower in carbs, easier to digest and easier to burn off again. Also it is cheap. I buy a kilogram of normal value long grain rice for about 50p. This will do us for about 5 meals for the whole family. A proper cup measure (tea "cup and saucer" size cup) of rice serves 3. I shall post a recipe for this on the side bar. Again it is a simple dish. I only do simple dishes, but it tastes delicious. The only special ingredient is turmeric. This is what makes the rice golden and gives it a distinctive taste. I shall have a weigh in tomorrow night. Fingers and toes crossed.
