Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Fell off the Wagon Today....


It started out innocently enough..

Just 1 arrowroot cookie. Okay so it was before my morning coffee. Don't judge.

Had that healthy tasteless oatmeal for breakfast, side of fruit.

But then...it was all downhill from there.

Bacon and Tomato Sandwich. With EXTRA Mayo.
Just a couple of chocolate chips. I don't know why?
Homemade Mac and Cheese for Dinner. Heavy on the cream and heavy on the cheese glorious cheese. Hey, that's what the kids were having and I was too tired to make a different meal for me.
Then a coke. It's been SOOOO LONG since I have indulged in a coke! Why did I crack open that coke?
When you are having a pop you must also have....
Popcorn
AND Extra Butter. Not that healthy "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" butter. Real Butter.
Crap. Who left the box of Macaroons right here on the kitchen counter.
They might go stale. Can't let them go to waste.

Yeah, clearly I'm not an emotional eater.

Someone stop me.

Sigh. Tomorrow is another day.

I hear ya, gotta have that extra mayo to make that dry bread and bacon go down smoothly.

I'm a Seven Up girl, so what I do to take care of that craving is pour some carbonated water (that's flavored with natural lemon or lime) into OJ or grapefruit juice and it hits the spot.

Now get ahold of yourself woman, tomorrow is...another day hee hee, just kidding, I have those moments too!

Margo said...

Yes, thank goodness for all of us, tomorrow is another day! Don't beat yourself up. I'm parroting my life coach here and am working on this balance/moderation stuff myself. Getting comfortable throwing out food was huge for me... better to "waste" in the trashcan, locate on hips and thighs. And you clearly needed that real coke.

Martha said...

I am right there with you, I so enjoyed my ice cream sundae last night w/whipped cream and hot fudge.

Veronica said...

I completely relate. I did that the other day. I was stuffing things in my mouth at random times. It was quite bizarre actually. Here's to a new day with new willpower!

honey... i stay off the wagon! lol-

kimert said...

Bacon, did you say bacon??? where???

LOL

I've had an off week myself. I haven't indulged in "no no" foods but what I have done is NOT get in all my 6 small meals and food each day. I've done poorly with my meal planning and my running has sucked. Ugh. I don't even want to talk about my water consumption (or lack thereof).

Buckeroomama said...

Haha, I said "pop" in reference to Coke and my friends here gave me a weird look and asked me what was "pop." :)

Swoozie said...

Sometimes that is all it takes is that one innocent cookie and WHAM! I'm off the wagon as well. Why oh why is that??

PS ~~~ LOVE your new look! Love It!

Swoozie said...

Annnnnndddddd......

I'm grabbing your awesome button!

Lizz said...

Mine is usually a landslide of sugary carbs and baked goods. *sigh*
Why do we do it to ourselves?

Busy Bee Suz said...

Same boat, different kitchen. UGGHHHH...what is wrong with us?

Lady Mama said...

I can find excuses for everything. I love coke. Eating popcorn without the extra butter is just not right. And the macaroni - well who has the energy at the end of the day to make a separate meal? You can't be good EVERY day - it's not human!

Loukia said...

Oh don't feel bad! What you just described is me on a regular day, seriously, argh! I love off Diet Pepsi. And I need popcorn... and arrowroot cookies are for babies, so they have to be good for us, right? ;) And how can you have a sandwich without the extra mayo? Mmm, now you're making me hungry!

Sara @ Domestically Challenged said...

I had to stop reading after the chocolate chips. I was going to fall off the wagon myself! However? I firmly believe we all need days like that sometimes!

amy said...

mmmmmmm it sounded worth falling off the wagon, if i tend to 'fall off' i also do it in style lol! x

Mary K Brennan said...

It's tough, don't give up. Soda and popcorn gets me every time too.

Metropolitan Mum said...

Hehe. Am a sucker for macaroons, too. Thought about posting a picture of me biting into a macaroon on today's post. Do you know Laduree? They used to have shops in Paris only, but recently opened 2 in London. They are my downfall...

Kelloggsville said...

will power, shmill power. Your dying thought is unlikley to be "ohh wish I'd dieted harder" (unless you weigh like 90 stone!)
The same as it won't be "ohh I wish I'd cleaned more" (unless you are under a pile of papers)

actually I'm losing my own argument here - oh well - look into the sunset - long for Tara and then say "tomorrow IS another day"

Me said...

I fall off the wagon alllll the time! I just put on my elbow and knee pads and continue on. I like to have my cake and eat it too!

HEATHER said...

I will admit this to you and you only, blogger friend whom I have only known for a few weeks now.

I had a mountain dew today. I have JUMPED off the freaking wagon.

It happens mama. Tomorrow is a new day!

ModernMom said...

Oh You all made me feel so much better! There is hope that my butt will once again slide into my skinny jeans after all :)

Tami said...

I started out with something healthy...then I ran into one of my bosses, who is a FOOD JUNKIE. He got me started on these candies, I ate one..continued to two...then ended up taking the whole dish to my desk. I ATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
OINK!

I hate food. No..NO.. I LOVE FOOD. what am I saying?

Tomorrow is another day, how right you are...

Veronica Lee said...

I'm in the same boat, too!!

Danielle said...

I have skinned knees and a bruised bottom from falling off so much!

These days, I find it better to just dangle my feet off the back and drag my toe in the dirt once in a while. It's hard to hang on at that point!

The problem with "tomorrow" is that bacon still exists. Damnit.

Jennifer said...

Oh my gosh. I'm trying to resist temptation too! LOL! Coke is my Kryptonite!!!

Rebel Mother said...

OMG! It all sounds delicious!

Sometimes a little a bit of what you fancy does you good!

Oh I hear you, I did the same thing for the last few days since I got home from Vegas. Could it be that I left $1,000. there? I have been eating like it's my last day on earth!
