I know you are so excited to hear about what I ate this weekend (not really) but I feel the need to share. Maybe I feel guilty for eating things I am not supposed to- who knows.
So Friday night I met up with my friend, Jessie for some tea (sorry for all of the parenthesis but I am really LOVING green tea lately!) But before we met I remembered I hadn't eaten dinner yet so I walked past a few shops before stopping at a legit taco shop. Were not talking Fausto's or Roberto's here- I mean legit. Like the kind of place that has mariachi music blasting when you first walk in. The kind of place where the only other people in it are Mexican (mostly construction workers or painters from the looks of their clothes.) The kind of place where the workers can only speak a handful of English phrases. The kind of place that makes me feel inadequate for not being a "real" Mexican and knowing how to carry on a conversation in Spanish or pronounce words to the best of my abilities. But oh well. That didn't stop my shredded beef tacos from being any less delicious.
Saturday's List:
sausage and eggs thanks to an awesome YoungLife breakfast fundraiser. I really wanted to eat some yummy pancakes though.
lunch: A delicious concoction of mushrooms, brown rice, jalapenos, and ground beef. Jello was
a nice dessert after that savory little number.
For dinner Max and I went to Sammy's Woodfire Pizza with his parents(we were
pretty sure the group sitting across from us was a cult. Some tip-offs included one very long-bearded man dressed in all white sitting at the head of the table and every other man at the
table had hair down to his shoulders)where I had a yummy chopped chicken salad and Parmesan crusted artichockes with goat cheese- can you say delish?!
Sunday was a very strange and rare food day for me. So we know I have a gluten allergy and should not eat wheat products for a number of reasons. Do you think this stopped me from going
to Starbucks for lunch and breakfast (even going there is rare for me!) and ordering a green tea and "Reduced-Fat Egg and Turkey Bacon Cheese Breakfast Sandwich?" NO WAY JOSE!! (that's TWO whole EnglishMuffins! Shame on me! My stomach itched so bad after that.) I knew it was bad when I came back for lunch and had memorized what my total would be. But what are you gonna do?
Then right before I left my house to go to the gym with Max and our friend David my dad decided he was going to bring me home chili cheese fries (he never does this!) how could I not eat them. 1. I always pout when he takes my brother out for meals and never brings me back anything (stupid and childish, I know) 2.There's starving children around the world. I just can't waste perfectly good food. Needless to say my tummy wasn't happy with me when I was running that last mile.
After the gym I had a spoonful of peanut butter and around midnight I was starving so I decided oatmeal and dark chocolate (not together, silly) was a better option than fruit snacks. Oh the joys of trying to eat healthy!
