Do you remember yesterday when I blogged about getting in shape? Yesterday was great! We had some awesome Dijon grilled pork chops for dinner and I felt good all day. We even went for a jog on the beach with the puppy. And I felt good in my bathing suit.
I was doing so good today...until I opened the fridge and spotted the cheese. That was around the same time I started craving tacos. Really? Who craves tacos at 3:00 in the afternoon. Well, since 3:00 is snack time and not meal time...I made myself some nachos (you know, just a handful of tortilla chips.) Do you put bleu cheese on nachos? Apparently I do! And man-oh-man they were good.
Then, as I was shoving cheesy nachos in my mouth, I remembered my post. I felt so guilty. I felt so fat. But you know what? I kept eating. And thinking about what I was going to make for dinner (my famous buffalo chicken mac and cheese!) And kept saying to myself, "I'll start doing better tomorrow."
This my friends, is exactly what I was talking about yesterday. This is a daily problem for me. I could have chosen anything else, a yogurt, celery and peanut butter, pretzels....anything else would have been healthier than bleu cheese and cheddar nachos!
Today is Wednesday. It's grocery day for us. My list is full of healthy choices, lots of fruits and veggies, healthy & satisfying meals. I will do better. I will do better. I will do better.
For the record...I'm still making the mac and cheese for dinner...

RIP Cpl. Reinhard
I always have to remind myself that it isn't the fact that I fell off the wagon...it's the fact that I'm *back on* the wagon. =)
ReplyDeleteTake it one day at a time. I have bad days, but try to do better the next. I LOVE food, so this is easier said than done though.
ReplyDeleteLOL! This is my problem too. I can do good for about a week look 2lbs and then fall off and it takes me forever to get back on board. Why cant we women just be happy with ourselves and not try to change all the time? I ask myself that question every day!
ReplyDeleteOne good piece on junk food is to just not buy it! If it's not in the pantry, you can't eat it!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel!! I eat so terribly and I want to start eating healthier once I move down there.
ReplyDeleteBy the way! I'll be in New Bern, NC. I would LOVE to meet you! =)
Emily that is great advice, however...hubby needs to eat too!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes Carmen, we will have a girls night! YAY!
Oh, this is the story of my life. One thing someone once told me that I really try to live by(even though it sucks). Try not to wait for tomorrow-in other words- if you realize you are off track, start fixing it right then- once you FORCE yourself to get past the junk food crave it will get easier and easier. I just don't buy the food I don't think I should be eating...and the unhealthy stuff I buy for my hubby, I make him hide it. There have only been a few times I have literally torn the house apart looking for chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteIt's like you are in my snack brain! I buy healthy plums and such for snacks, and when I force myself to eat them they are great. My I'm going to pick the salty unhealthy snack everytime!
ReplyDeleteBleu cheese and cheddar nachos?! That sounds good!! Probably because I crave anything with cheese right now (I would like to blame this on being preggo, but really it's just what I always crave!!!!)! Don't worry, I tell myself the same thing everyday when I grab whatever unhealthy food item I am wanting (it really is a bad habit of mine) - so I know what you mean since I do it too! You CAN eat healthy! Just don't beat yourself up too much when you choose the cheese :)
ReplyDeleteEverything is better with cheese!
ReplyDeleteI do so well when my husband is gone... but when he comes back it definitely gets me because you definitely can't deprive them... and he needs his snacks!
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY!!!!
ReplyDeletehahahahaha! Make it a different type of cheese and I would have done the same thing. When I am in my kick of trying to eat healthier I have to purge my kitchen of anything that may tempt me to go down that dark road of getting off my healthy train...
ReplyDeleteDon't beat yourself up, you need the comfort food every now and then so you don't get so bored of the healthy food that you quit completely! (my comfort food is def. cheese and mac n' cheese...cheese makes everything so much better...)
ReplyDeleteYou will do better!!
Sidenote: Your mac n' cheese sounds AMAZING
you deserve to splurge every once and a while!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one having a love affair with cheese :)
ReplyDeletestop beating yourself up, you're making me feel REALLY bad about eating an ice cream cone, 2 pieces of italian bread and hamburger helper tonight, LOL.
ReplyDeletenot gonna lie..i've put off the "get in shape" challenge until monday. i'm awful!
ReplyDeleteYou and I my love, have the EXACT same problem. I really think its food's fault though. We can't help our obsession, infatuation, and love for the gloriousness of it all. MMM yummy nachos.
