Ok ok maybe I can complain a little, but I've thought about this a lot. I've always said that I don't want to be "on a diet" forever. I want to live a healthy lifestyle, but dammit if I want to have a few bites of cheesecake for dessert then hell yes I'll have a few bites of cheesecake! I figure if I make healthy choices more often than not, then I can afford to have fun and have delicious slip ups every now and again.
Yeah, I said it, cheesecake. Last night, I ate cheesecake. The snickers kind. From the motherfucking Cheesecake Factory. But, in my defense, I shared it with 3 other (awesome) people! Also, prior to that, I ate about 3/4 of a salad off the skinny menu. I'm pretty sure they evened out…right? The hubs and I went out to dinner with my friend Melissa (who was my second blind date) and we met her husband for the first time. We. Laughed. SO. Much. It was some much needed laughter and we agreed that we can't wait to get together again. Success! Don't you love it when that shit just works out? And don't you have a hard time not peeing your pants when you watch this video?
I'm pretty sure I won't eat cheesecake before next week's weigh in, but no promises. I can promise that I'll be eating chicken and brown rice for lunch today and wrecking myself at the gym every single day. Oh and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna try and make this tonight. I'm a sucker for pumpkin stuff…like, a lot.

Are you doing your best, but still enjoying life?
I agree about the being "on a diet" thing. Sometimes it just gets exhausting to ALWAYS be eating clean or ALWAYS passing up some maybe not-so-good food. I mean, to each their own. There are people who enjoy it or have goals involving doing just that. And that's kick ass! But I'm not one of them. While I do really love healthy foods and the way they make me feel, I like to live my life feeling like I'm not missing out on so many wonderful flavors or textures of food. Errr that might sound kinda effing weird, but do you know what I mean? Food is amaze balls and delicious. That's all there is to it. And I think the key is finding the balance. Have that salad and a few bites of cheesecake….that's the perfect balance, I'd say! Major props for you sharing that cheesecake. I'd call that a victory on it's own. It's mother effin' HARD to share some damn cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteI don't care how much my ass sags, life is too short to say no to cheesecake (and it's even better if you share it so kudos to you for being realistic and realizing it will take more work but sometimes you need the little things in life too).
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing my best at all! haha But I can admit it at least :P
ReplyDeleteThe whole being on a diet thing is so discouraging but when I call it a healthy lifestyle, I can handle it better. I know i'm going have cheat days or cheat meals but my biggest issue is getting back to the point of being focused so I dont' gain back any of the weight i've lost. I wish getting and staying skinny was easier!
ReplyDeleteI just love how raw you are! Your so funny...Keep up the good work! Your one of my inspirations/motivators for Operation Take Back my Body after Baby!!!
ReplyDeleteGo Tara!!
