I forgot to get on the scale this morning. Oh well! I'll try to remember tomorrow.

I am taking a break after doing some prep cooking/baking for a dinner I'm making tonight for my brother. He's coming over to give us some advice on something, so I want to treat him. Of course I'm all sweaty. Even the lightest amount of exercise makes me sweat. It's been like this for quite a while. I once asked my psychiatrist if he thought it was because of my medications. His response? "Maybe it's because you're out of shape and don't exercise enough." Arghhhhh!

I actually don't entirely believe my psychiatrist about the above. I think he was just being a smart *****. It's not a big deal, really. Especially if I am at home or can get home to wash up. I've had this issue even when my BMI was normal and I was walking miles a few days per week, with my friend. I can't imagine it's all about being out of shape.

I just made a homemade French onion soup. That's not too high in fat. I just won't add that much cheese to the top. I'm also baking an espresso cake. The frosting is already made. I plan to decorate it with roasted hazelnut halves and melted chocolate drizzle. It's only a one-layer round cake, so there won't be too many leftovers. I know my brother loves this cake. The soup is delicious! Though not exactly diet food, the rest of the meal will be pork schnitzel with parsley boiled potatoes, corn on the cob, and some little cucumber-tomato salad. My brother doesn't drink. I do drink one glass of wine many days, but I won't when he's here. I'll make some homemade iced tea with fresh mint from my herb garden.
