I think it is time I admit to myself that I do not have weight loss goals, I have weight-loss daydreams. Today at work, someone was selling candy bars for a kid’s sports team. Obviously it is a good thing to support youth sports, and I am not one to just make a donation when a $2 donation will get me a candy bar. Of course I took the candy bar! Did I save it, or at least half of it for my skinny husband? NO!
I thought, this is OK, because I am going running after work. Shortly after I thought that, my legs informed me that I was not. “We are going home and sitting on the couch like sensible people,” my body told me. I did not have the oomph to argue. It is Monday, after all.
If this wasn’t bad enough, Steven did not feel like the leftover pasta sauce I had suggested for dinner. Oh, that is not the bad part. The bad part is when he made a sensible alternative suggestion, I said, “Wouldn’t you like to send out for wings and antipasto?” As a matter of fact, sending out for antipasto is not such a bad idea. For one reason, it means I will have leftover salad for my lunch tomorrow. For the chicken wings, I make no apology, but merely offer, in my defense, YUM!
Steven called Salvatore’s in Herkimer. We got wings Siciliano, which are kind of a combination of medium sauce, garlic butter, and bleu cheese. I repeat, yum.
On the brighter side, instead of a Monstrous Monday, I am giving a shout-out to a local business. Salvatore’s is located at 650 1/2 W. German St., Herkimer, NY, phone number 315-866-2600. For more intormation, you can visit their website at http://www.salvatores-herkimer.com.
And I can always go running tomorrow.
Yes, weight loss dreams….I love it!!
Someday I hope to do something to make my dreams come true!
Your writing describes the thought process that so many of us go through. It isn’t always easy to make the healthy choice: especially if you are low on energy already.
That’s for sure! But we can always try again tomorrow.
How are you doing now?
Not so good! But I am beginning to see where I mess up, and I mean to make some improvements starting tomorrow!
Good for you – You can do this
