Baby- Open Wide

Shani — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:04:06 +0000

I have babies on the mind! In my affirmations, on my vision board, in my dreams! I’m ready for one! I was thinking about the food they eat. Of course they start out with Mother’s Milk and then progress to other mashed delights. But the best part of their dining experience is how the food is delivered!

Clearly all men will agree that the former of the two is the most desirable method… I’ll give them that. I however was thinking how nice it is to be fed. Now is the time to remove any visions of babies and thoughts of parenting. Minds are a curious thing and anything can be the inspiration for something else…

So imagine a plate full of fresh, juicy fruit; strawberries, mangos, grapes, kiwis, bananas… whatever you like. You are lounging on the couch, spread out on a lush blanket on the floor or cradled by cushions on your bed. Your man comes in, he’s carrying a large plate full of these sweet jewels. You are wearing a silky nighty, his hand makes it’s way from your shoulder down your leg, you get goose bumps. Then he gently ties a silk sash around your eyes and gently kisses your lips. He has your complete attention. Then one by one, he feeds you. His manly hands place each luscious, ripe fruit onto your tongue. He is careful, attentive and loving. You feel totally adored as he slowly, seductively nourishes your soul

Seduce me like a Chocolate Sundae does!

Yesterday started the competition with my husband- we both did a GREAT job! I even made it the entire day without sugar or flour! In those past 24 hours, I realized something. What you can’t have, you want! Every commercial… Dunkin Doughnuts, ice cream, Papa John’s! Seriously- stuff I don’t even normally want… I was now lusting after. What is that all about?

When you create a taboo in your life, it seems as though you then want it even more and more often! Now is the same thing true for the opposite scenario? If I lived in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, would I then NEVER want sweets? That’s doubtful… but how is it possible to make these desires work in my favor? Even better, how do I make the things that I want to do, but kinda dread doing become a major desire in my life? I discovered that with working out, the more often one does it, the more you want to do it, but the minute you stop- you are happy to sit on the couch forever. Sex is tricky. My husband and I want to have a baby, so clearly the more sex we have the better our odds. Funny thing is, the minute you look at sex that way, it becomes a job and you no longer want it. WHAT? Not fair!

Or is it all about advertising? My mind wasn’t really thinking about Dunkin’ Doughnuts (really they are not my favorite thing) but the commercial seduced me. I want my yoga class to seduce me like I was a single, divorced woman and yoga was my sexy, wealthy dream man. I guess as far as the baby making goes… I need to do my own advertising. Pump up the seduction quality in my life… maybe that will be the incentive to get to yoga class in order to show off my new bod- to seduce my husband to make the baby. It’s worth a try!

Friendly Competition

Last night, my husband and I created a six week competition. It’s based on things that we both feel we would like to add to our lives, better eating habits, consistent exercise routine, affirmations, (and blogging) etc. The rules of the game reward you for each positive habit you execute. There is also a BIG prize for the winner. I do want to WIN! I want the prize, the title and the gratification! I’m diving in- giving this competition my all. I am considering a strategy. As the “chef” of the house I am in an interesting position. I’ve seen it before- those calculated players, the ones that set up their opponents, doing anything possible to see the other person fail. I’m not that kind of person. So even though I am in charge of our meals and the competition does have a weight loss category, I intend to play fair and do whatever I can to make our low calorie meals as delicious as possible.

This is quite a challenge. I learned quickly that if you wrap anything in puff pastry, dose it with butter or smother it with mayonnaise, it will taste amazing! Not the ideal recipe for a healthy diet and weight loss. So, my side challenge is to create a myriad of luscious, delectable low calorie meals that not only help my husband and I drop some LB’s but that will also keep us excited enough to make it through the six weeks.

Tonight’s menu includes my take on Armenian eggplant caviar- a thick puree of roasted, eggplant, garlic, red peppers and tomatoes. Served with crisp oven dried pita- the dip is thick and smoky ready to be dipped and licked. Then I mixed cumin, garlic, parsley, onion and basil with ground turkey molded them on a stick and seared them in a pan. The sexy sauce for the Turkey Lu Lu is Tzatziki. Together it is quite the delectable dinner. Eating with your hands and fingers is a super sexy turn-on. Our eyes dart from the plate to the mouth, taking in the teeth, tongue and lips. The more your mind sets on ruby red lips and pink tongues- the more one’s desire is elevated. Watch out- a meal like this just might lead to additional cardio! I suppose my only strategy now is to double up on the cardio!
