Time For A Food Adjustment Reflection

First let me share this

I was getting ready to go for a run when hubby comes home for his lunch break and I paused in the mirror and just looked.  and then I GRINNED!  I am so happy with the person looking back at me!  For the first time in a long time, I am no longer avoiding the mirror!  I have not had a shower or brushed my teeth or fixed my hair BUT right here and right now, this is the person I LOVE!

This is what this blog is about.  This is what all the hard work is for.

Last night at the Weight Watchers meeting we discussed planning ahead.  Here is am example of not planning ahead.  Hubby coming home to eat on his lunch break: What's for lunch?Me: I dont knowHim: Well I could have peanut butter and jelly but what would you haveMe: no ideaHim: I dont really want peanut butter and jelly again, I had it twice yesterdayMe: I could have another swamp slushie but I had that for breakfastMe; I guuueesss Ill have that, sighHubby: so Im eating peanut butter and jelly again, cause I dont really want toMe: Well what do you want?Him: I dont knowMe: Well Im having the slushie, so if you really want something else (take out) you have to say it, cause Im not saying itHim: Fiiiiiinnnnneee, Panera?Me: Its not my decision (although he knows I want it) if you want it you have to say thats what you are gettingHim: :sigh: Fine Im going to Panera
and that is how it goes when there is no planning ahead.  Take out, it's never Micky D's, Wendys, Chinese, Arbys, Pizza, anymore, its either Chilis or Panera (which just came to town, damn you!)
Yesterday after my meeting I went to the grocery store and picked up the stuff to make pizzas at home and chicken chili.  But I could always use the excuse that I dont want to cook to get Paneras again.Guess whats in the oven? Pizza! Yum!Guess whats for dinner? No Bean Chicken Chili! Yum!
And eating at home always makes me feel better about my choices, it tastes better, and it is healthy for me.I need to practice planning ahead much more often.
