Do you ever get into a limbo with your eating? That’s kind of where I am right now. I know I’m not eating my best. Which means I’m not feeling my best. But I end up justifying it by saying “well I’m not eating my worst either.” Just like my choice to get to my boot camp on Monday night, I know that my choice to going back to truly eating the “Morgan” way is up to me as well.
Yesterday I started my morning by making a hot cup of apple cider.
I was so excited by my delicious fall treat that I never took a picture when I was having it. Also missing from action, my photo of a whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter that I had for breakfast.
My belly must have been burning calories fast, because I was hungry again soon for a morning snack. I made myself some tea with milk and a banana.
Due to my constant rushing, I needed a quick lunch. Often when I work night shifts I like to have a great big smoothie for lunch. I realized yesterday as I set out to make it, that I haven’t had a smoothie in ages. Really, I dare not look back in my posts to see the last time. I paired it with a grilled cheese for lunch.
Yesterday I made my grilled cheese in the oven. If you notice there is really no grilled part to it. That’s because I used no butter and no frying pan. I just took two pieces of ezekiel bread and some mozzarella cheese and put it in the oven. That makes a baked cheese instead of grilled cheese I guess.
It’s still crusty on the outside and cheesy on the inside!
Do you ever get in limbo with your food? Do you ever justify your food choices by saying “well it could be worse?”
I certainly play the “it could be worse” game. Especially right now with pregnancy. I eat mostly healthy but it still isn’t NEAR my best. I don’t have the motivation to change it though right now. Probably because I know I will once I’m not craving so many things.
Oh, I definitely do! I think especially when life gets hectic, it’s easy to fall back on convenience rather than health.
Yum!! What a perfect meal – a grilled cheese and a smoothie….I think you’re on to something here (thinking about lunch plans today)
The weekends are the worst, but if I really think about it – it’s not as bad as I make it out to be. Pretty cool baked grilled cheese trick!
I always am saying it could be worse.
I find that whenever I’m doing really well with exercising, my food falls off…and then whenever I’m eating well, my exercise falls off. Then sometimes, there is the perfect storm and I screw up everything.
I’m really working to finally get everything under control all at the same time! It’s a process.
I’m totally in that limbo right now! You’re so inspiring:) I’m in a limbo because after just having the baby people are bringing all our food over and we have so much food I feel I need to eat it but it keeps me from eating really clean food and it’s like all I eat are starches!
Yes, I play the it could be worse game a lot (especially at weekends). I think I’m getting better at eating better though… What’s in the smoothie? Looks good!
