Yup….that would be me! Last week I sorta entered a little food funk where I just felt rebellious…I sorta just went with it and ate what I wanted and didn’t care about fruits’/veggies/dairy or any of that. Today, I took that to a bigger extreme and I think I ate pretty much everything in our house…..well, (except a few crumbs) ok, maybe not that bad, but, I FEEL like that now. I think sometimes you need to just have a “day” and for me today was “THAT DAY”. I didn’t track in writing (but I did with my pictures LOL) or count my points :/ I am pretty sure I would’ve ran out of room on my paper journal and the online version would’ve gone to page 2 or 3 .
The good thing is that I feel like I am ready to re-focus and get back to it. OH and I learned to NOT work in the kitchen. So, for what it’s worth….here it goes!
After opening my package last night from Kristin, I knew EXACTLY what I was having for breakfast.
Isn’t this the CUTEST bottle of PURE Maple Syrup straight from Canada you’ve ever seen?
I whipped up a batch of my Protein Pancakes and decided to replace the BLUEBERRIES with shredded coconut after I saw Janetha do it on Pancake Sunday.
In the mix this morning:
1/3 c ff cottage cheese
1/3 c uncooked oatmeal (quick cooking or old fashioned)
1 egg
1 Tbsp freshly ground flax seed
Splash of vanilla & COCONUT extract
Dashes of cinnamon & sea salt
Sprinkle of shredded coconut
Topped with a little whipped butter, sprinkle of coconut and my new PURE Maple Syrup drizzle. AMAZING! I was sad when it was all gone 🙁
But, my day quickly brightened when The Husband surprised me by dropping off a Venti Iced Decaf Latte with Caramel Drizzle on top 😀
I had to hang out at home today for this project to begin…..
Never in a million years did I ever think I’d be so happy to see a BIG Central Heat & Air Vent in our hallway. I know when summer comes around and it’s 110+ degrees, we will be sitting COOL!
Just one more day and we will officially have CH&A throughout our entire 1940’s house – I cannot wait….it’s the little, or, um, big things 🙂
Mid morning, I couldn’t wait to dig into another one of my Canada Goodies…this amazing looking Trail Mix.
I LOVE that they use maple syrup in it ~ it’s so Canada of them lol.
I’ve never had soybean nuts before today….they are delicious ~ this mix is the right balance of sweet and salty.
My lunch options were sorta limited to the microwave or fridge so I opted for some reheated Oh My Squash Pot stickers topped with Sriracha and sesame seeds.
Easy sides!
Since I seem to want to try EVERYTHING in my Canada pack, I found a way to justify having a couple of these for dessert.
What exactly is “fancy” molasses and how is it different from “normal” molasses? Anyone?? It’s funny to me 🙂
Healthy, organic chocolate chip mini cookies ~ totally crunchy, yet, they melt in your mouth.
I spent the afternoon listening to lots of drilling and working away on a project for work. I think we I work in the kitchen, I want to eat EVERYTHING in the kitchen. I found myself munching on some Pirates Booty for my afternoon snack even though I am not so sure I really NEEDED it.
And because I really didn’t NEEDED another snack, I made up a cheesy quesadilla roll up.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to use our stove tonight since it’s gas, so we headed out to Round Table Pizza for dinner. I probably could’ve cooked, but, why, when you can have a salad like this.
I went a little crazy on the doughy goodness ~ 2 parmesan twists, 1 slice veggie pizza and 1 slice Hawaiian Pizza.
I was ready to be ROLLED home, but, I still managed to find room for their mini cinnamon twists.
I am totally suffering in a BIG Food Coma, yet, I am settling in to watch The Biggest Loser ~ oh the irony, right?!
Some days I can be so spot on and other days not so much. The good part is I feel pretty awful so I think I reminded myself why I like to eat clean 90% of the time.
Tomorrow is a new day to get 110% back on track!
Night all!
We all “fall off the wagon” at some point. This is just a little blip on your journey and like you said, maybe you just needed your “day”. Don’t let it discourage you!!!
It’s nice to see some Canadian products and things I can actually get at home 🙂 So often I see foods on your blog that I would LOVE to try but have NO WAY of getting unless I make a journey to the States (and even then there’s no TJ’s). Even our Whole Foods seems to be lacking compared to yours.
Oh! Don’t worry I ate my whole house this weekend. I totally agree how some times you just need to eat what you want/feel like…it really does help you get back on track the following days. At least for me…probably because I eat so much junk that I feel sick! LOL So, it is a good and bad thing. I went to the market Sunday night and got those cinnamon bunnies from that one brand (the one that makes those fruit snacks you eat!?) Can’t remeber but I ate the whole box! All of a sudden they were gone! HAHA Oops. I knew I had a 10 mile run to do the following day but I can guarantee you that a 10 mile run didn’t burn off all I ate! lol Glad to know I am not the only one who eats my house every now and again!!! 🙂 Can’t wait to make those pot stickers!
Love your attitude!!! Such experiences are just a part of life – the important part is using them as motivation to get back on track. 🙂
Mmm, now I am in the mood for some pancakes! 🙂
I often have those days of complete food comas, but they are so worth it! 🙂
Glad you had a wonderful day hun!
Oh, I have definitely had “those days”! I am so amazingly proud of you for taking photos through it. I think it adds a bit of reality to it when you are doing it and helps snap you out of it a lot quicker. Good for you, D!
I’m with ya – BACK ON TRACK TODAY!
I’m so glad you like all your treats!! I think “fancy” molasses has to do with the food grading… just means it’s a better grade!!
xo

I most definitely have days like that. I try to remind myself that they don’t happen too often and I am enjoying what I eat and am mindful of it, not just binging, which is a big thing for me to be proud of after battling it for so long in the past. Plus, I appreciate your honesty and showing others treats are fine and dandy!
I had to skip over some of those pics…lol My eyes got BIG and my tummy growled. 🙂
You are right, today is a new day! I know it’s not easy to get back on track, but you can do it!!! 🙂
hoo-freakin-ray for central air! ive lived with it and without it and really.. i cant go without! LOVE your pancake~ that syrup bottle is too cute. i have had those days where i eat and eat. they happen, and then we move on, right? right!
that happens to me too. I always wonder if it is certain times in our cycle that we are prone to go nuts. Those look like they are from eat clean. Thanks for reminding me of them. Haven’t made them in a while!
