Waste Basket

This is something I should keep in mind when choosing my food. My head and my stomach are often at odds with each other. Last night after Body Flow, the hubs and I went to Chipotle (yes, again) for dinner. I had another chicken burrito - ugh, just can't say no to the tortilla! - and tried the brown rice this time. It was soooooo good. The hubs said he could taste a difference but personally I think it was all mental. Definitely doing the brown rice over the white rice going forward.

Anyone remember that scene in Clueless (one of the greatest movies of all time) where Cher talks to Dionne about going to gym class and then rattled off what she had eaten for the day? 

"I feel like such a heifer. I had 2 bowls of Special K, 3 pieces of turkey bacon, a handful of popcorn, 5 peanut butter M&Ms, and like 3 pieces of licorice."

Every time I think about what I have eaten for the day, I think of this scene. Especially since there is a little (almost empty) canister of peanut M&Ms sitting on my desk. Don't worry, the canister was never FULL of M&Ms. LOL. I told myself I would make good choices today...and so far I have done all right. I finally did my Shakeology this morning - 2 scoops of shakeology mix, a handful of ice, and a little over a cup of almond milk - for breakfast. It was surprisingly yummy. It kept me pretty full and alert for a while. I had a banana as a mid-morning snack. I had brought a TV dinner for lunch but it looked like it had gone bad. I really wanted to get a thin-crust pizza or hot dog for lunch but decided the sodium content was too high and not worth it since I'm already feeling super bloated. So I went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch and bought a chargrilled chicken wrap. My sister and friend Katie keep telling me that they're good but I never tried it because a cold wrap doesn't sound all too delicious. Well, I was wrong. It was pretty good - and filling because I only ended up eating half. I will eat the other half for dinner. I had a cup of green tea (one of my goals) and have been drinking a ton of water too. I did let myself have a bowl Pirate's Booty (a mix of 3 different kinds) because I am craving salty things. Pirate's Booty is fairly healthy so I figured this was OK. I also had 3 peanut M&Ms. My afternoon snack will be carrots and dip. But now I feel like someone doused my water with sleeping medication because I am so sleeply all of a sudden. I feel like I need caffeine. Maybe I can have a Diet Coke? I know, I know - cutting soda was one of my goals. Baby steps, my friends. Baby steps.
