Healthy Decadence!
I have had a rough week… but it seems like so has everyone else! It just seems like we are all suffering small (and large) misfortunes this week… and everyone is in my thoughts and prayers.
Yesterday I kinda went on a binge. I ate crap I normally wouldn’t even give a second look to. And I drank waaay too much vodka. I feel like hell today, and I’m paying for my eating indescretions too if you know what I mean. I don’t know why I punish myself like this!!
Anyway… I decided to treat myself yesterday because I have been so bummed out about everything that has happened, and I have been working a LOT lately…. needed to spend a little money on myself. I bought a new exercise mat… I have been working out on the hardwood floor and I have the bruises to prove it. haha. I only spent ten bucks, but it was definitely worth it. I also bought myself some healthy treats too. TOM is coming soon, and I don’t want to backtrack by shoveling a tray of brownies into my face!
Anyway… I never realized how decadent health food can be! I got myself some caramel flavored coffee… it makes my house smell so yummy and it tastes like it should be loaded with calories. I drink coffee black, so I don’t dump a ton of extra calories into it. It’s sooo good though. I got some low fat waffles too and sugar free syrup… when you cover them in fruit you don’t even miss the butter! I feel like I’m eating something bad, but with a side of turkey bacon…. mmmmmm…
Tonight my boyfriend and roommate and I are going to the bar to play trivia. It’s actually a really fun time, and the prizes are pretty great. It’s 4 dollar quesadilla night… and honestly without sour cream, they aren’t THAT bad for you. Since I had a little booze bender last night, I don’t forsee myself drinking anything but water, either! So that should be fun and a good excuse to get out of the house.
I dunno, it’s the little things in life that I’m clinging to right now to cheer me up… since I usually turn to food when I’m depressed, I am excited I found some healthy choices to have around the house. As soon as my head stops pounding I’m going to forget about yesterday and get back on my weight loss journey. Thank you again ladies for all your support and motivation. I hope everyone’s weeks start looking up.

That is exactly what I am doing that works this time. I don’t think “dieting” is about eating lettuce and carrots alone.
It’s about finding ways to eat good and eat the foods you still enjoy.
Obviously, it might be good to not have the waffles every day, but they are a nice treat that stop you from going to McD’s for lunch!
I’ve bought lower fat Turkey Meatballs (with grain pasta and sauce), sausages, made low fat chili and shepherd’s pie (cauliflower makes a good topping). The list goes on.
Get out there and find the low fat, low cal versions of your favourites and be happy. This is living, not die-iting.
Sorry you are feeling a little under the weather from drinking…I hope you feel better much soon. Did you get the pink mat from Walmart for $10…if so both me and Becky have that one too, heheheh, great choice! Glad you are ready to get back on track. You can do this.
