Wow... this was maybe the hardest meal I've ever made in my life! I had to confront my fear of flesh and prepare the turkey breast. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to do it with the ribs intact an all. But I just thought of Julie deboning the duck and did my best. I'm not sure i butterflied it right, but I was able to roll it into a little meat cylinder anyhow. It should be ready soon, and I'm so excited to taste my hard-earned creation!
This cookbook, The Essential Eating Well Cookbook, is the best thing that has ever happened to my cooking life. It's really making eating well and doing something "new" a real pleasure! I guess there is joy to be had in cooking.
We started weights today. I was so excited. We stood in front of the big mirror and I worked my arms. I feel so proud of myself I could just giggle!
I am aiming to go for another 30 minute walk after dinner. I think I'll declare this day a "holiday." I'm going to celebrate walking 2 times in a day, starting weights with my trainer, clean floors, happy cats, and the freshness of my life.
It's funny how someone's advice, in passing could make such an impact on my life. This is new!
