The Weekend With My Husband’s Parents Went …

The weekend with my husband’s parents went well. I was able to stay healthy all weekend, even in restaurants (all serving beautiful salads at the moment) except last night when we went to a Jazz festival and had a picnic, one that I prepared - I was planning on preparing myself a chicken salad to eat while the others preferred sandwiches. My parents in law requested their sandwiches on baguette instead of the whole grain slices I had planned, so I prepared them special sandwiches. The rest were on sliced country bread. At the last minute one of our guests had to cancel so we had an extra sliced bread sandwich - which I just packed instead of preparing my separate salad. The rest of the group had chips and shortbread cookies as well as a small cheese course. I just had the sandwich and opted out of the chips and cookies, although I did drink my wine! I felt guilty about the sandwich although the mayonnaise in it was home made so I know it contained no sugar. I spiced it up with espelette chili peppers and sesame oil so I really didn’t have to use much at all in the chicken salad. Overall, I think I made good choices although this week I will not have any more wine. I’ll weigh in tomorrow.
