weight loss and boredom

I hope your Valentine's night was fun. After we saw the movie Australia last nite (great film! and...why is Hugh Jackman NOT the new James Bond....he is sooo much more fitting for the role than Daniel Craig) we found ourselves at Wegmans shopping for a late nite dinner. Restaurants tend to be crowded and not as good on holidays such as Valentines Day, New Years Eve, etc....they tend to rush the meal and food not as good. We found some great steaks, lobster tails and prepared a really fun dinner.

I have not been in that store for a really long time and I forgot how many diffeent and unique itmes they have compared to the regular supermarkets. The point here is that if a person is in a weight losing mode, a place like this offers a wide array of food choices that would make it less "boring" to eat the same "chicken and vegetables" every day. One of the things that makes losing weight very difficult is that the "smart" food choices to enable the weight loss are not "fun" choices. Trying to make the meal preparations fun and different but yet still stay on a course of low caloric foods is difficult. Make it a challenge! Find different foods and let your mind be creative to try to make this more fun and less boring.
