I work out so I can eat. If you don't count running around after the children and washing floors by hand at least once a week (4 kids, remember?), I work out hard about 5 hours a week doing kickboxing, cross training and swimming. Perhaps I am overindulging a tad too much lately. In an effort to lose those last 10 stubborn pounds that have taken up permanent residence on my lower half I've decided I need to cut back on a few things we usually stock.
1. Diet Coke. As I sip a diet coke as I type I know this one is a constant struggle for me. (It is so much easier to grab a cold caffeinated drink in our house. I don't drink coffee, By the time I get around to drinking my tea,on those days I actually find time to make it, it is already cold... Mmmm cold tea. NOT.
2. Open bags of chips. I detest Ranch Chips. However, if there is an open bag of ranch chips laying around it usually takes me about a handful to remember how much I really really hate them. No more buying chips.
3. Milk Chocolate Chips. Mmmmm. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water. We were going through a one kg bag of milk chocolate chips a week and most of them weren't making it into the cookies or muffins that they were intended for. I even labelled the jar POISON in attempt to thwart any intruders. It didn't work. Jeff and the girls weren't fooled either. Perhaps the happy face makes it less of a deterrent? Maybe I need to work on the label a bit, or just not buy them. I think we'll secretly go back to semi-sweet chocolate chips and I'll record the first person who attempts to eat a handful of those! Bahaha.
4. Snacking while making school lunches at 10 pm. I'm not intentionally trying to become a sumo wrestler but perhaps if I continue down this path you may see my name associated with the sport! :)
Stacey "sumo mama" does not have a nice ring to it.
I think that about covers it. I'll keep you posted. :)
