| I'll take these! |
Valentine's Day. I wrote about the
5 things I hate about it over on my personal blog and I'll also be writing about the 5 things I love about it. I figured that I would stay with the Valentine's Day theme over here as well.
Let's face it, folks. Holidays of any kind can be real diet killers. Valentine's Day with all your chocolatey goodness. You are a weight battler's arch nemesis. I am no exception. The husband and I decided to forego the Valentine's Day dinner chaos this year and go out on Saturday instead. This is always tricky. They try to lure you with their dinner-for-two specials and all that stuff. And you all know how well I do eating out on a regular night for Pete's sake!

| I shall name him, Giuseppe! |
We settled on an Italian spot we hadn't been to before. We had read good things about it online and all that jazz so we gave it a shot. First of all, it was crowded but we didn't have to wait to get a table at all. We did, however sit at our table for a very long time waiting for a server to acknowledge our presence. I fucking hate bad service, don't you? Ugh. Secondly, I had decided on sausage manicotti (it was pretty mediocre which pisses me off. If I'm gonna waste some calories, it better taste good), which is really decadent I know, but hey...I had a choice of 1 or 2 and I went for 1. Damn straight! Of course, I screwed myself because of the bread. Oh how I love you, garlicky, buttery, yeasty wonder! Way to go, Mrs. One Day. Way to go. I did actually end the meal on a high note, y'all. I didn't order any freaking dessert! Yes! So, all-in-all I'd call it a success. It could have been a whole lot worse, right? Right?

I'm allowing myself a treat on Tuesday as well. Should I be doing that? Probably not, but I think it was in the Bible or something that we eat chocolate on Valentine's Day. No? Shut up. In
my Bible it does. So, as all of you who are part of a couple celebrate this lovey-dovey holiday, remember this...a little chocolate (I said a
little!) in your life isn't gonna kill ya and if you eat a little (I said a little...
again!) dark chocolate it's even good for you. If you aren't part of a couple and/or won't be celebrating Valentine's Day this year...have the damn chocolate anyway because I said it was okay. Ha!
Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!
