After returning to the gym following the holiday foodfest, my DH and I decided we had to take drastic action. The scales were not kind to us! He suggested marathon sex. I opted for changing our eating habits. I mean, we already work out 5 days a week - what else can we do? Someone had left several issues of Vegetarian Magazine in the rack in the cardio room. I started thumbing through the pages, reading recipes, thinking about all the undesirable things in meat - saturated fat being number one on my hit list. I mentioned the idea on the way home, assuming he'd buck. Color me surprised when he said, "Sure. Let's do it." We agreed we wouldn't go overboard. Our monthly visits to High Tide Harry's - mine for tuna steak and his for salmon - will continue. But we're eliminating all red meat and hopefully poultry as well. The kids are not jumping on the bandwagon - yet. But tonight I lured them closer to our camp with eggplant parm - with baked, not fried eggplant. Let's see what that damned smug scale says next week.
Meanwhile - I got word tonight that The Wild Rose Press will be sending me a contract for yet another short story - Kissing Cousins for their erotica line. Shh - don't tell my parents.

Woo hoo Dara! Welcome to my life! Actually, I'm a vegan. But if you have any veggie questions, let me know!
I have a feeling that marathon sex + vegetarianism would yield great results.
And congrats on the new contract!!!
