Saturday I went out to dinner with my friend Michelle at a divey Mexican restaurant. The margaritas were delicious and so was my taco salad. I had been doing great all week; avoiding the mac&cheese I had to make for the kids I nanny, the BurgerKing drive-thru and more. So it wasn't hard to turn down tortilla chips and dip at El Chupacabra. I just wish I would have read my menu a little more closely. The veggies in my salad were fresh and delicious, I even broke and got rid of my flour tortilla shell, but next thing I know I dug into some delicious beans that were mixed with rice. I took a great big bite and immediately felt the failure seep on through. At that point I stopped eating the salad and focused on my drinks! I didn't fell too bad since it was just a bite- and a total accident at that, but for a minute, just a minute, I felt like I could just toss the whole challenge and get back on the carbo-overloading. Thankfully, I didn't, and the next day I was proud of myself for not giving up.
The next morning I went to breakfast with Michelle at Red Twig Bakery and Cafe. Let me just say, this place is right up my ally, I just wish it wasn't in Edmonds! They have a great breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu, plus delicious homemade treats, and they even do latte art! I ordered the ham and cheese scrambled eggs, hold the toast. I thought "wow good recovery Rose, way to deny that toast". Then my plate came out with the best looking roasted red potatoes on it. Yet for some reason, I was able to look at those potatoes and not feel sad or disappointed that I couldn't eat them. Yet again, SUCCESS!
I've been staying up to late recently, so I've been pretty tired. Thus, I can't quite recall what else I had to eat over the weekend, but I know I was on my best behavior. Only 20 days left in this month and I'm just ready to be done. I'm bored with my food choices lately but I shall prevail!
