Slow news days

These last couple days have been pretty mundane. No funny gym people, no funny friend stories, no movement on the scale. Easter Sunday was rest day, and paired with a turkey dinner at my parents's house, that meant overindulgence and little exercise.

I think I have found balance though. I paid attention to what I ate all day before heading to dinner, and even with a piece of my sister-in-law's chocolate cake, a glass of wine, and 3 pieces of hollow milk chocolate, I was under 1800 calories for the day.

Yesterday, I made Eggplant Rollatini for dinner. Normally, I would have a photo of the meal in question, but yesterday evening I was grappling with a migraine, so KJ plated dinner and I didn't like how it looked (sorry, love!), so I didn't take a picture. The recipe calls for fresh parsley, but I used dry basil instead, and it was really delicious. If you're not a fan of eggplant, I honestly think this recipe would change your mind. It is like pasta-free lasagna. Who doesn't like lasagna?

Thankfully, last night's migraine is all gone. Good thing, too. It's sunny outside, and I would hate to have to block that miracle out of my house to keep my head from bursting. I'm convinced Spring is a lie. April showers come in the form of blinding snow squalls around here, and I am tired of it. I want to go for a walk outside without requiring layers of sweaters and coats. Even today, it's sunny and freezing outside.

Can we go back to Mexico? Please?
