The Dichotomy of Indulgence and Moderation

Jump to Comments

Hi friends!  Hope your weeks are beginning well.  My week is a little sadder than last because Mike is travelling agian but I can’t wait to see him this weekend in NJ (we have a wedding to go to). 

I indulged BIG time this weekend at Homecoming, and I have numerous food-related events coming up in the next week or so, and I want to be able to enjoy all of them.  So therefore for all of my meals that aren’t “events,” I really need to be focused on eating as whole as possible, focusing on produce, so that I can enjoy each outing with a clear head. 

First, some of the ridiculous things I ate at Homecoming:

Veggie burger on a HUGE white bun with a big ol’ serving of seasoned fries at the Gingerbread Man (Gman) in Carlisle.  I’d include a link, but it’s Carlisle, and they haven’t discovered the internet yet.

Many, many of these prepackaged, gooey, transfatty cinnamon buns.  I danced around the sorority house common room at one point offering people “bites of trans fat” and wondered why people didn’t mirror my enthusiasm.

Brunch in the caf:  huge plate of the greasiest home fries of all time, pasta salad (times two), salad bar with creamy saturated fat dressing…mmmm.

 

There were other treats but I will choose to plead the 5th at the risk of losing readers/my dignity.

 

Ok, now I hope to vindicate myself ny showing you my lovely, healthy breakfast of pumpkin oats with 1/2 a banana.

My mid-morning snack of a McIntosh apple:

And my non-transfatty lunch of a big salad with spray dressing, 1/4c. Marcona almonds, and an apple…

With 1/2c. no salt added cottage cheese and 1/2c. Fiber One for dessert.

As long as I keep these healthy habits up, I know I will get through the next week feeling great! 

Happy election day, friends!
