A week of nothing good…

So after about a week of this whole “blog” thing Ive done nothing.  I haven’t written.  I haven’t eaten anything healthy.  I haven’t really even tried.  I have these battles in my head all day every day.  Food noise maybe Im not sure.  A battle within.  Every day I wake up and I tell myself that this is the day to make big changes.  This is the day to start a better life. And like the post below this one, I blow it before 8am by having things like strawberry shortcake for breakfast.  But today was different! ….. It was 5 chocolate chip cookies with about 4 shots of whipped cream.  Yep.  Cookies and creak for breakfast.  Way to go fat ass.  But whatever.  I did it,  Im telling you.  Its done and over with and times to mooove on.  <— Do you like what I did there …. Moo… like a cow…. HAHAHA.  Come on, its a joke.  Im sure everyone laughs at me so its time I start laughing at myself.  Normally I would tell myself oh well, I ruined today so Ill just eat crap and start again in the morning.  But not today!  I mean it!  I already have fish out for dinner.  What I am going to do with it is a whole other issue.  I PLAN to make some Spanish rice that I got from another blog on here. And I PLAN to make a tomato salad with red onion, cucumber fresh basil (woah who the fuck am I) evoo and red wine vinegar.  I know Ill like the salad and Im really hoping I like the rice because it does look pretty tasty and Ive thought about it for a week now.  Ive just been to lazy to actually do it.  Ive had fresh fruit cut in the fridge for about a week and I pulled a bowl out so hopefully while im sitting here being lazy ill snack on that and not get up and eat more junk. 

 

This blog thing is hard.  I feel like I have so much to say but when I start typing it all just fades away.  Hopefully it will get better once I really start eating the good food.  Who knows, maybe ill even be able to post some of my own healthy recipe’s one day.  But like any addict…Im just taking this one day at a time…. or more like one craving at a time.

Thanks for sticking with me 🙂

Diet day 1….dessert for breakfast

Seriously? What the hell is wrong with me? I tell myself ALL day long how I need to loose weight. Im gonna die if I don’t loose weight. I need to eat better. Today will be the day!!!!!! And enter a big huge fucking fail! What did I have for breakfast? Strawberry shortcake – heavy on the whip cream. Yes it was super yummy but it was not needed. The whole time I was getting it together I was telling myself to stop….But I couldn’t. Some might say hey its got fruit in it so its not that bad. WRONG! I put sugar on those nice fresh berries so they get nice and juicy and fully of sweet red syrup that just lingers in your mouth. Mixed with the light sweet and creamy whipped cream and the lemony butteryness of the cake… OMG do you see the battle in my head right now? Normally when I fail I will just eat crap all day because I figured I ruined the whole day with my bad choice. Not today. I am really gonna make an effort to make better choices…Maybe Ill eat some veggie sticks with ranch – easy on the ranch I promise 🙂 and maybe some nice fresh plain fruit. Im going to try. And im also going to try and not make another plate of strawberry shortcake. AHHHHHH its so good. This is going to be a long ass day….
