WEEK 5 -- DAY 35 -- SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

Well I made it through Super Bowl Sunday. As I already mentioned, we were having a mini Super Bowl party and I was excited about making a lot of different appetizers. As usually happens, I bought too much and ended up not having half of what I had planned. The good news is that I put out all of the chips and dips, etc. while I was cooking the appetizers so I never had a chance to eat any of that.

I made a Hawaiian meatball recipe from the old Betty Crocker recipe cards of the '70's. It was a great hit and I didn't feel I overdid it by having a few of those. Then I made a delicious crab and cheese spread that you put on english muffins and broil in the oven so everything melts on top. These were out of this world and I had a few of those as well. I had also bought chicken wings that we never touched and had planned on making an antipasto salad which we didn't do either. My son's girlfriend made homemade pizza and I had one small slice and I really mean small.

We were all so full that we never even had the Super Bowl cupcakes I had bought. I had forgotten all about them with the excitement of the Saints winning.

So all in all, I don't feel I did too much damage to all the hard work I've done so far on my plan. Tomorrow I'll be right back in the good eating mode.
