Ice cream cake and fried calamari
I’m so glad to be back at work today. I usually love long, holiday weekends, but I’m exhausted and I ate horribly the entire time. Saturday we celebrated my niece’s birthday with burgers and ice cream cake. Sunday night my husband and I rented a movie and ordered a pizza. For Labor Day we went to my sister-in-law’s. We spent the day on the beach (I didn’t drink enough water) and went to a seafood place for dinner. Every single thing on the menu was deep fried.
I have a headache and my tummy feels awful. My midwife would not be happy. Her practice is very nutrition-centered and I usually try to be, too. I’m chugging water and can’t wait to go to my Yoga class tonight. I had a small apple and multi-grain toast for breakfast. I’m planning to have a big green salad for lunch. I don’t know about dinner yet, but I’m thinking a light soup. I brought two snacks with me: low-fat yogurt and carrot sticks. I need to get back on track.
It’s amazing how food impacts the way I feel. Do you know what I mean?

LOL. I ate too much and crappily (is that a word?) too. I feel less than stellar today. I, like you, am drinking a lot of water and trying to get back on track. I sure am glad that there are no more holidays for a while.

OMG. I had to laugh too. I love fried food and eat it more than I should. But hey, I’m eating for 2 right?

I don’t know if crappily is a word, but I like it. I’m feeling better today and hope you are, too. Here’s to staying on track!!
Take care,
Anne

I like to tell myself that I’m eating for 2 too, but in reality that just ain’t the case. We only need about 300 extra calories a day. The very occasional mozzarella stick probably won’t hurt though.

Hmmm, is that mozzarella stick fried at least?
I know, I know. I’m trying to be good.

Marni…you’re a woman after my own heart. Seriously though — why do unhealthy foods have to taste so darn good? Not fair.
