Okay so I have been a slacker the past few days posting...and eating too if I am going to be completely honest. I don't ever have a problem in the exercise department. I love doing it and especially now with a goal to do the half marathon I don't ever slack on that. I have realized there are a few things that throw my efforts out when it comes to eating right they are:
1. the weekend standard eating out
2. family or friends coming for dinner or to just "party down" as Lori would say ;)
3. baking anything sweet (which always equals eating it too)
4. ice cream in the freezer...and then in my mouth
So there it is...I am going to work on these triggers. I think I need to realize that it is not always my "last chance" to eat something yummy. I think in my head I am going on a diet so tomorrow I am going to stop eating junk which means I have many days of this is my last chance for delicious food...I know it is ridiculous. I think I think a diet means deprivation which then makes me ultimately eat more. So I am going to say this now today....I AM NOT ON A DIET!!!!!!!I was thinking about it over the weekend and talking with my friend Jen about it. I realized it sounds totally insane for someone who is a size 4 to say "I am on a diet". I feel silly for it. I am just going to be FOOD SMART from now on and enjoy eating in MODERATION! Okay so enough of that... this is what I am eating today (I am still going to list it until it becomes second nature to live the way I want to)...
Breakfast - shake with skim milk, vanilla yogurt, one scoop chocolate protein powder, one scoop flax seed, frozen raspberries, frozen fresh carrot juice, and ice.
Lunch - roasted red pepper and tomato soup with Parmesan cheese on top, a slice of asiago cheese bread, vanilla yogurt with raspberries and an old fashion buttermilk donut.
snack - and yet another donut...I am not sure why I think I can buy stuff like this "for the kids" because I end up having some too...
Dinner - I made meat loaf (A Tyler Florence recipe), mashed potatoes, green beans with onion and toasted almonds. This was so good! The kids and I ate half of it...one slice each and I am giving the left overs to the missionaries...food like this is good and it is made with all natural ingredients but if I keep it around I will be eating it for the rest of the week.
snack - a couple of pieces of dark chocolate

Great job! I agree about the whole diet thing. I am not on a diet just trying to live a healthier life.
So you can read my mind, how funny! I had those exact thoughts today. Thanks for letting me complain to you all the time about life. You really are a great friend and I'm so glad your mine.
