remember that pitcher of iced green tea that i so proudly displayed for you in my last entry?
yeah.
well.
it's still sitting in my fridge.
i'm such an idiot for getting all excited my new 'invention'....as it's rotting in my fridge right now :) i did have the best of intentions, and i have made strides in my cosmetic choices.
i plan to watching a DVD i received from a little health birdie out in the mid-west! heather sent me a DVD to watch on how to make better choices at the supermarket and i'm VERY excited to watch it, as she's a nutrition professional and i'm taking all the free help i can get. THANK YOU HEATHER!
so yeah. when chad goes out of town, my health goes to hell in a hand basket. is that weird? i'm sorry, but i just do NOT do well grocery shopping with my 11mth old. nor do i feel like cooking dinner for...well...1 person. that's alot of effort for just myself. and so, if i'm honest, i ate an italian sub-ish sorta sandwich two days in a row, a McDonald's #2 (which was disgusting), two consecutive evenings of spaghetti (all organic!), and chinese takeout. i know. i disgust myself, truly. and i have no problem blaming my husband. i went 4 days in a row without breakfast and 3 of those 4 days without lunch. i just don't EAT when i'm alone. (nor do i clean, make the bed, or shower, and i LOVE it...but i digress...) HAAAALP!
i doubt i will be back on the wagon this week.
i only grocery shop on the weekends OR monday. so since tomorrow is tuesday, i'm sorta screwed. chad is traveling all day and HOW MANY TIMES CAN I OPEN MY FRIDGE DOOR, SIT DOWN and STARE AT ALL THAT I DON'T HAVE TO EAT?! do you do that, too? yesterday was BAD. i opened my pantry and leaned against the door for at LEAST a total of one hour, yesterday. lots of dried pastas. canned soups. stale cereals. unopened bag of tortilla chips. opened my fridge. pitcher of lame green tea. moldy cheddar cheese. shriveled blueberries. flat prosecco. UGH.
(lanier...i need to pimp out some of your recipes and pretend they're my own...so step forward whenever you feel it's appropriate...)
all in all, tomorrow is a new day.
i have contractors here at 10am, during isaac's naptime.
then i will attempt the grocery store. ::: golf claps :::
ENCOURAGE ME! pray for isaac! may God strike him with a spirit of grocery-store-passiveness, tomorrow. may he accept the positive experience of the shopping cart....PLEASE.
(huh? me soooo passive!)
He lurved the grocer store with me....granted, I fly through those suckers. Perhaps I should come home and go with you :)
ReplyDeleteevery day is a new day - that's the good part. I HATE shopping with my baby as well. But, sometimes ya gotta do it. I like to invovle Z as much as possible - I show her things that she might think are funny - like pineapple. And I let her hold things that I'm planning to buy (cause I know they'll go straight into her mouth). This is an awkward stage for babies - soon, they'll be able to really be involved, and you can let Isaac pick something out to make/eat later. good luck! And give yourself grace - you just started. one awesome thing I see in your list of dinners while the hubby was gone is that you DID COOK TWICE! organic spaghetti, baby - that's a great start! focus on the positive changes you ARE making. :)
