No, no, no, no, no!

Lemme say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah... gotta love the Destiny's Child...or was that En Vogue??

Anywho, since I seemed to eat like a little piglet on Thursday including, but not limited to:
2 "mini" bags of Kettle Chips
1 entire bag of Haribo gummi bears
From McDonald's-
1 cheeseburger (and it was fucking nasty)
1 hot fudge sundae (tasty)
1 large order of fries
1 crispy chicken ranch snack wrap (amazing),

I have decided to make a "no" list. Now I know they say that limiting yourself from certain foods will make you crave them more and then binge on everything else, but seriously it's a problem, also note that I did not remove chocolate or alcohol from this list... So, here it is in order from biggest problem to slight problem:

NO

  1. Kettle Chips- absolutely terrible, once a month 6 cases, each containing 24 "mini" bags are donated to my work- they now are stored in the attic, where they rightfully belong. I'm not really sure something so delicious and bad for you should be legal...although I would probably pay top dollar for a 'bag' of these...hehehe
  2. French fries- also terrible, but mostly at restaurants when I'm starving and we're waiting for our food. From now on I just have to wait, dammit.
  3. Gummi bears- only a problem when I buy a bag...or two...and then eat them all at once.
  4. Fast food- sounds gross and I don't frequent the fast food joints, but when I do I get a little crazy: see binge list above.
  5. Full fat coffee drinks- not really a problem at all but I think it would still add to the challenge....cuz when it's over I'm getting a venti Caramel Macchiato with whipped cream!

So this "no" list will be effective until my arrival in Dallas on July 1. :-)

I'm hoping by posting this it will give me incentive to really get serious...I've been hovering over the same weight for about four months now and it's time to put a stop to it!!

Oh and one more incentive... Jeff and I have a bet going:

Not one single french fry until July 1.

Winner gets a nice fancy restaurant dinner with the works: bottle of wine, apps, entree, dessert

I have no dinero so I better win!!!

Actually I think Kettle Chips and fries are tied for hardest to keep with...because french fries are everywhere!!!

Sorry this is kind of a boring post, but it had to happen!!

I Heart Los Girasoles

And I'm not talkin' about the sunflowers, either. I was having a rather 'bad' day eating-wise...but I still did not go over my points! This is mainly because I worked them off at the gym...just barely.

Anywho, I took off from work a bit early today because it was rather nice and I thought I might go to the gym or for a run or something of the sort. However, I was famished because I did not properly pack a lunch and then came Los Girasoles.

I was just minding my business at good ole Silverton Wamu when I stepped outside and smelled the damn cafe from across the street. I couldn't help myself. Now that I am eating beef again, one of my first thoughts was to go get a beef burrito...which I hadn't done since senior year of high school.

I went inside and the little one that Angie, Annabeth, and I used to poke fun at was all grown up! I told him I hadn't been in there since high school and the delicious pastries case was staring me right in my flabby abdomen.... but I withheld from the pastries. I thought I could wait until Angie and Annabeth are back in Silverton sometime in the next eon or so.

I ordered a Beef Veggie Burrito to-go. It was ready in a jiff.

It was 20 points.

It was freaking glorious, and a bit nostalgic.

I heart Los Girasoles.

Oh and speaking of nostalgia....Angie, your old house is for sale. Saaad.
