Good afternoon! Okay, that was entirely too enthusiastic for how I feel right now. I honestly ate something bad earlier. If Little Debbie calls <<your>> name, do you ignore her? I didn't think so. You should look that bitch right in the eye and say "I don't need you. We are done. Do not call me, do not jump in my cart, and if I find you inside my home, I will toss you like garbage". You're welcome. That's how you deal with Debbie.
Anyway, yesterday I ate really well. I made breakfast turkey cups (you can find the link below). I even prepared extra so I had no excuse not to choose wisely for breakfast the next day. They were surprisingly tasty, but slightly boring. I like scrambled eggs and turkey, but I really love cheese... I so miss the cheese.
Next came lunch, where I conquered the unimaginable- I ate a salad! If you don't know me personally, you're thinking this is [NOT!] a big deal. Like, does this girl really think we care if she eats salads? Okay, stop right there. I have this huge issue with textures and greens is definitely one of those things that I cannot even swallow. Talking yourself into every bite of a meal is excruciating (there are people starving and I'm complaining about a salad- hear me out). I don't mind the taste of greens, I will toss them in smoothies, lasagna, whatever... but, they had better not be fresh in a salad. Gross. Hopefully, I can figure out more ways to incorporate them into meals. I did find a decent dressing with minimal "weird" ingredients (I don't buy something if it contains ingredients that I can't pronounce- ick!). Newman's Own Olive Oil & Vinegar dressing is really good, minus the salad {ha!}.
Dinner, PALEO style... well, that was the easiest thing I've ever eaten. Seriously, you can't go wrong with chicken tenders brushed with a little dijon mustard and wrapped in nitrate-free, scrumptious bacon. You. Just. CAN'T. I paired that with a side of baked asparagus (with a tiny bit of EVOO) and sweet potato coins (sprinkled with cinnamon). I was so happy... and so full. But, I could not stop thinking about food. Not yummy food... BAD food. I wanted mac&cheese. I "behaved" all day. I caved. It felt so good. I made excuses for my brain by saying that I ate well all day, I was under budget on food (I didn't have time for snacks), and that I drank 120 ounces of water. Knowing I had made a mistake, I decided the next day would be better and I polished off the mac and cheese. Did I just hear one of you call me 'fat'? Not nice... and screw you!
I will admit to my eating mistakes and confess on this blog. I'll also share my victories. 120 ounces is a lot of freaking water. That salad was a beast, but I defeated it. One salad will not make me skinny, just like one helping of mac and cheese will not make me fat. On that note, welcome to my blog and... bring vodka next time.
PS... here is the recipe for the turkey cups. Actually, they're ham cups, but I used turkey.
