Confessions for the end of January, 2013


I have to admit, I do miss writing weekly craves and confession posts.  But in all reality, the confessions posts would be somewhat skimpy this time of the year-- if the weather is bad then I am home.  Even if the weather here in Michigan is half way decent, usually I am home because the kids take my vehicle to school.  It isn't as easy to be naughty when you are stuck at home all week long- geesh!  I suppose it truely isn't a bad thing as it keeps me on track but sometimes those soda cravings can be brutal!

1. Speaking of soda: Since I cannot get out as often as I used to, I find myself indulging in soda at every single opportunity that I can.  Which translates to- if I run to the store, or am out and about, the soda is calling me!  It doesn't help that McDonald's has $1 drinks, no matter the size.  So of course I must get a large one (why waste the money on something smaller?)  So I have indulged several times.....when I go to get groceries, when I run to Costco and Aldi's, when hubby and I go out and wander.  Get me that soda and get it for me NOW!

2. Eating out: For some reason, I have been giving in to the let's just go and get something urge lately.  Call it laziness or lack of inspiration in the kitchen-- all of these play a factor in these urges.  So we have eaten pizza and subs out in January.  When I have been out and about, I have run through the drivethru and ordered burgers or chicken sandwiches along with my lovely soda.  It is a definite treat for the kids because we rarely eat out, hopefully they are enjoying it because hopefully it will soon end!

3. Forgetting to eat: Yes I could probably  miss a few meals (I am over weight) and yes I know the importance of eating breakfast (or any meal) so I don't become over hungry.  My problem lately has been sitting around in the morning during which I lose track of time surfing on the internet.  Once I realize how much time I have wasted, I try to quickly get moving to get things done.  Which usually means that I just completely forget to eat.  This leads to many issues but the biggest one is grabbing whatever I can find and eating it-- meaning things like sugary cereal, chips, and other super processed foods.  Usually I have very little interst in these things but once it hits 12:30 and I haven't eaten anything yet (and I usually wake up around 6 am) then I just grab what ever I can.  I really need to get back into the routine of getting up and showering before I get the kids up in the morning-- I end up accomplishing so much more during the day.

I am also thinking some of the above would be quite tasty too.....it is almost grocery shopping day!
