Don't worry, I am not going to change this into a cooking blog!! It just seems that way. I have weighed in and I have some good news to share. I have that post done, I just need to finish the video that goes with it. I will post it tomorrow. I know, a real cliffhanger--ooohhh did he finally break through the plateau? Is the four week drought of good news finally over??
Anyways, I was commenting back and forth with some friends in the UK and they are not very familiar with the old American standby-meatloaf. I am certainly not a nutritionist, but I think meatloaf is probably a diet friendly food. Let me know your thoughts. And ladies that have more experience in the kitchen, be kind and take it easy on me!!! So I thought since I was cooking it anyways, I might as well film it because I enjoy that too. So Tim and Nikki and anyone else outside of the States that might be missing out on the simple joys of meatloaf, this one's for you...

Low Carb Cooking For a Happy Marriage...
For a happy marriage, I think each spouse must be willing to make concessions. Now don't worry, I am not changing this blog into "Paul's Martial Advise" anytime soon. However, I thought I would share an example from today, and I might even put a little weight loss spin on it.
The wife and I are both trying to lose weight. We are trying to cut down on carbs. Please understand before I get a bunch of hate mail, we are cutting down...not even low-carb, just trying to save a few carbs here and there when we can. So when she saw I was making a roast she made a comment about not adding potatoes. Now this is where things could have got ugly. She was hitting me where it hurts--the stomach. All my life with a roast, I have had potatoes. I am just a simple meat and potatoes kind of guy. Well, did I argue with her? Did I try to explain to her that life is short and we have to enjoy the little things like potatoes? Nope, I did smart thing. I just smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, dear, I'm not putting in any potatoes". Hey, after all, Valentines is right around the corner and I may be fat, but I not stupid. ;-) What are you giving up that you really miss?? I would really love to hear from you!! Here I am cooking it--with no potatoes!
