We hhaven't been eating to green lately. I mean I have still been trying to be careful of what we purchase at the grocery but I haven't really been to the grocery very much in the last few weeks. Tito has been fishing up a storm and bringing home shrimp too. My freezer is staying full thanks to his new found skill and passion for fishing. I just wish I liked fish...ick. Some days I just can't bring myself to cook it. I have also realized that fall veggies are not my fave and neither are the fruits really. Maybe I can survive on bread and water alone..:O) Just kidding. I really have been living in fast forward for almost a month now but I can see the slow down coming of course it won't happen till next week and even then will be a short lived slow down before we will be going again. I never thought I would say this but, I dislike staying so busy that you can't breathe!! and really staying so busy you can't eat right. But there is truth to that. In this fast paced society it makes since that we have issues with obesity. We are just too busy to slow down and eat right. We need everything fast including food and most of us believe that it takes to much time to make healthy food. We had to chance to eat at home on Saturday night, and I really contemplated for a good hour and a half about just ordering out. then after much debate with myself got up and made a black forest ham sandwich on french bread with pepper jack cheese and sweet potato chips on the side. How hard was that!!? Not hard at all and it took no time, now I should have had it on wheat bread with no mayo but lets just be real what I had was way lower in calories then the burger or pizza we would have ordered!! I think I have to stop making eating right so darn hard and then maybe I will quit beating myself up on the days that we didn't eat perfectly natural food.
I went to LNO tonight and had a great time with some wonderful Christian women. We ate at O'Charley's which is probably my least favorite place to eat. However I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and cinnamon and sugar donuts for dessert. I was very pleased with myself when I walked out because I walked out with half my meal in a to-go box. I made a conscious decision when I placed my order to NOT CLEAN MY PLATE (yea isn't that going against the grain) and I was just satisfied, not over full and not starving!! The burger was very good and I was very happy with the service. When I inquired about the use of peanut oil the manager came out with the waitress to assure me that they don't use it but they did want me to know that they deep fry pecans in the oil. It made my day that my peanut allergy was taken seriously because sometimes I don't believe the waitresses really care.
Say a little prayer for me, I am going on a women's retreat this weekend and it looks like the menu may be a little challenging for me. So I will have to make and pack different foods that I can eat and not have reactions to.
Anyway gotta run...thanks for listening to my rant..lol
Loves Angela!!
