So, I went in to cook supper (we call is supper in the Ozarks; we have breakfast, lunch & supper around here. We only have "dinner" when we're trying to be fancy or going out to eat). Anyway, I went in to cook supper (yeah, I know, I already said that) and Bossman followed me in the kitchen. He wanted to check calories on FitClick so he could plan his meal. I'm telling ya, he's loving this.
Tonight he had a lot to add up. Just every now and then, you have to shuffle through the cabinets and throw a meal together. We had fried Spam (it's actually pretty good), Kraft Shells and Cheese (don't even ask calories on that...eeeek!) and Niblets corn on the cob. Bossman got out the measuring cups and planned how much of what he could eat and stay under his target calories for the day. It helps that we eat a bare minimum of calories during the day, so we can have a decent supper. Tonight, though, he realized how much he was overeating before counting calories. Shells and Cheese is one of his favorite side dishes and he used to pile quite a bit on his plate. Tonight he found out that 1 (thats ONE) cup (prepared) has 360 calories. Ouch!
We got our portions figured out for how many calories we each wanted to eat and all was well in our household.
Bossman had also suggested he take me out to eat tomorrow night (that would be for dinner - are you keeping this straight?). Yay! So, after supper, he got on his laptop to plan for dinner tomorrow night. We chose Ruby Tuesday's (not a lot of choices around here, especially with nutritional value in an online menu). He already has both our meals planned for tomorrow night and may even squeeze room for us to share a dessert. He even has it written down. On notebook paper. Seriously.
I love him.
