My Guy and I have just returned from eating out and are now collapsed in matching states of repletion – i.e. we’re stuffed. We were out for linner, named by a clever friend who also enjoys this idea. You move lunch forward and pull dinner back to meet in the middle, creating a mealtime at 3 in the afternoon.
This works especially well in Florida, where the national
pastime is eating out, and thus causing a 6 pm besieging of all restaurants. It
also means that if I can avoid snacking tonight, I’ve eliminated a meal. Okay,
fine. I did bring back a piece of chocolate cake, I admit it.
But I began the day with a brief stab at some yoga - my knees
were not happy –followed by a big walk after breakfast. I felt especially virtuous since my breakfast
was plain yogurt (okay, I did add honey), granola, and banana. Hopefully this
will cancel out yesterday’s of chocolate-covered almonds, which went remarkably
well with my morning tea. Protein and dark chocolate. Hard to improve on that.
I like the idea of linner, and I think I do that almost automatically, to keep from eating too late in the evening. I would have had that chocolate cake, too.
ReplyDeleteI often do "linner" here at home especially if I have breakfast late because of sleeping in, so lunch really isn't necessary, but waiting to eat dinner at the regular time has me snacking inappropriate sugary foods. Kudos on bringing home chocolate cake.
ReplyDeleteWe ate out almost every day in Florida, which I guess is not surprising. The portions were HUGE! Apparently becoming a restaurant with a reputation for stinginess is a fate worse than death.
ReplyDeleteWe Amurcans like our plates BIG.
