Still been trying to get over this cough, so lately my food intake has been a little weird. Also, it’s been Justin’s birthday weekend, so eating has been a little weird. I made it to the grocery store this afternoon to get some stuff for the week, but I still just don’t have an appetite like I wish I did! I didn’t get any meat like usual and I don’t think I’m going to make any rice or broccoli. Nothing sounds good, so I don’t think I feel like wasting my time making something I might just throw away anyways!
This weekend, I was craving a burger and some fries. And I actually did something I am super proud of as well! Justin and I decided to go to Wendy’s for lunch today so I could get a burger. I got a number 1 (a regular burger and some fries)… and guess what? I DIDN’T LOOK UP THE NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION!! AND… it’s been hours since I ate it and I STILL HAVEN’T LOOKED!!! This seems small—but it is kind of a big deal honestly. I am the girl who has to look at the nutritional info for everything I eat and it is so frustrating. So today I decided I wasn’t going to be a victim of my own prison. I stood up to my mind and told myself that eating one burger wasn’t going to make me ‘fat’. Is it going to make me bloated? Eh- probably!! But that’s okay! It’s the price you pay sometimes and it isn’t the end of the world.
So at the grocery store I got grapes, a cucumber, carrots, lettuce, Sunny-D, sandwich thins, Luna bars, fruit loops, and bananas. Happy with the balance I got. I got the fruit loops because lately I’ve had a little sweet tooth and since I am good at eating in moderation, the fruit loops stuck out to me. This way, I can grab a handful to just satisfy my sweet tooth, and move on with my day!
A little cookie cutter plan for my meals this week: I am thinking of doing a bowl of oatmeal or Luna bar for breakfast, a PB&J sandwich thin for lunch, and a shake for dinner. Whatever is easy and quick, that’s what I am going to be going after. For snacks, I’ll have some fruit, a little bag of goldfish, or a yogurt. I’m going to keep it light this week! MY BIRTHDAY IS ON FRIDAY!!
So with saying that, I want to feel good about my eating this week so I feel good this weekend. I’ll be going to North Carolina for my birthday, so I want to make sure I keep it on the healthy side while I am gone. This task is never easy, especially when I am visiting Justin. I’m going to start working on a post tonight about how to eat on vacation. I haven’t been eating much bread lately (until this weekend), and I was feeling really light, which is why I chose to get some sandwich things instead of actual bread. Not sure how I am going to tackle this upcoming weekend, I think that if I have a good week, I will want to keep my process going! From eating well/less lately, I’ve been feeling super good—which is what I am going to let motivate me. Sometimes, you have to be your own motivation.
