Last night I made the most disgusting dinner that even I couldn't eat it. After two days of bean- or rice-based meals, I needed to make sure vegetables played the leading role for a couple of days. I just wanted to get rid of my carrots. I sauteed them up with onion and garlic like I did at the start of my lentil spinach soup. Then, I figured that I'd toss my portabello mushrooms in for protein.
They weren't portabellos. I knew something was wrong when I cut them up. Then the smell, oh God, the smell! I ate a few pieces of mushrooms and had the feeling that tonight was the night I was going to throw up. So, I picked the rest out and tried to eat what was leftover in the pan. I only got a few bites in before I gave up. Nasty!
This morning, I didn't feel good about myself. Again, I don't feel like I've lost any weight. My skinny jeans went on just like they do any other day. They were easier to button and that's the only change. I just don't feel as I did when I weighed 185. So, maybe I haven't lost anything at all and I'm still hovering around 190. That would just be sad. I am hoping at the very least to be 180-183. I'd be ecstatic to see 170-anything. I'm just not feeling it though.
Then, I got an email and I have a phone interview for a Office Manager position downtown. Hey hey now, my mood has lifted!!!
Onward...

Oh, I hate that when a meal doesn't turn out. But good luck on your interview, and I hope that positive energy carries over into the rest of your life too!

Good Luck with the interview. Just remember that eating healthy doesn't mean it can't be tasty. As with all things it's a matter of trail/error & in most of our lives these days TIME. My sister spends all day on her day off, making up dishes from the recipes she's come across the prior week. She packs them up into meals for her & her husband for the coming week. That way everything has been taste tested, portion controlled and time managed to make their lives easier. I wish I had her control. Maybe you do?

Hang in there - it is just a bump in the road!

Good luck on your interview. I think we've all had meals that didn't turn out as well as we had planned. Sometimes they can be salvaged by a bit of re-seasoning, and sometimes with the addition of a complimentary dish to balance it out. For example: two weeks ago I'd made some black-eyed peas which turned out a bit too salty because they were cooked with smoked pig tails, and I was also using canned black-eyed peas; and I hadn't accounted for the salt already in the black-eyed peas when seasoning them as a whole. My fix was to make a pot of brown rice, to serve them with, and without salting the water to cook the rice in, as well as using unsalted butter. The result was they balanced each other out; it was some of the best black-eyed peas and rice I'd ever made, and I didn't have to throw anything away; which is the other solution to a meal that doesn't turn out as well as can be expected. Don't give up on cooking, as there will be times when the result will be so good, that you will amaze yourself, and try to remember exactly what you did. Once again, good luck with your interview, and the cooking.

Maybe you had more muscle at your previous 185 than you do today, so you weighed the same but were more compact then?

Thank you everyone for your encouraging words! @ShyGuy your black-eyed peaas and rice sound delicous. I think I'd rather have turkey neck or ox tail in mine instead of pig tail, but that all must wait another week until the fast is over.
