Cookies… are all I think about. When I am running low on fuel, sweets are my go to treat ESPECIALLY COOKIES! I’m not really a foodie, but I am a junk food junkie. Making sure my husband and children eat a healthy meal each day (except Friday and Saturday) is something I swear by. BUT when it comes to me, truth be told I’m slacking! I could eat better, I could make better choices, I could and I should BUT I DON’T! It seems like I am always eating on the go while getting the kids off to school/daycare, doctor visits, track practice, tee ball practice, etc. I am always grabbing the treats, snack cakes, juices, candy, and cookies, just anything I see, I grab, eat and run. This has been my motto for the last three months: Eat and Run! Lol It’s sad because I want to do better, some days I even try to do better, but somehow I always get sucked in by multiple errands. I used to be good at packing a few healthy snacks the night before and stuffing them down in my purse so that I wouldn’t forget them. But lately, I’ve been slacking.
As you can see my “as of now” eating habits aren’t the best. I say “as of now” because I usually try and eat healthy at least three to four times a week. My husband is an exercise junkie, health food junkie, organic fruits and food type of guy; and although I am an off and on exercise, healthy eating type of girl, my husband surpasses me by the mile. Now before you go thinking my husband is some type of iron mike, well yes he is, BUT anyway lol he does have a weakness and its pastries! The difference in our eating habits would be that he has self-control when it comes to junk food and I DON’T! He is so cautious so prim and proper on EVERYTHING that it makes me sickkk. Just seeing how he takes his time, to care for himself from eating to exercising to just getting dressed, inspires me to do better. BECAUSE I HAVE TRULY BEEN SLACKING!
My husband does all of our grocery shopping (and I do all the snack shopping) which is a no brain-er right? Because 97% of the time he refuses to put unhealthy things in his body, if he even thinks about something unhealthy or smells a big fat burger (that I’ve gotten from Burger King) he begins complaining about the smell is making him feel icky and his stomach is hurting blah blah blah! He just makes me sickkk, because he is so much healthier than me and he tries so much harder than I do. Furthermore, I got sickkkk and tired of hearing him make slide remarks about my eating habits so I challenged him to a 30 day sweet off, two weeks ago. We swore that neither of us would eat anything sweet.
Of course he has done great by his promise, while I’ve been… I’ve been doing… let’s just say I’ve been doing a lot NOTHING! So today I have sworn myself to a 30 day sweet off. I am so proud to tell my husband that it has taken me two weeks to commit but I am finally surrendering and committing to the BET. All the healthy foods in our refrigerator and I choose to sneak cookies out of the pantry, and I do mean sneak, because if the kids saw me they would rat me out. TODAY I AM SAYING NO MORE, WITH TEARS IN MY EYES. NO MORE SWEETS!
I would like to challenge other moms who eat and run… let’s hear it for a 30 day sweet off. No more junk food No more sweets, No more soda, No more unhealthy eating! We can do it, let’s ban together moms. My heart goes out to you… just say NO. Set your mind to it… there is nothing to it, but to do it!
