Proving Myself Wrong

You know, the last many years I've been lying to myself.

So many nights I've said:

I don't have it in me to cook.

I am WAY too tired to pull a meal together.

It will be SO late by the time we get home, I'll never get a decent dinner on the table before we all starve.  

To death, no less.

All lies.

Tonight, we got home at 5:30.  Of course, the whole way home I was lamenting over the "good ol' days" when I would have just had my husband get a take out pizza or run through the drive-thru for cheap burgers and fries.  But, NOOOOOOOO.  I have to eat HEALTHY.  I have to eat Plant-Based foods.  We can't do easy things and just move on.  Isn't there room for exceptions and a tired mom to just have a break?

That's how I talk to myself.

I even bantered with my husband on the phone over all this. When the conversation ended, I realized just how much EASIER it was going to be to go home and throw something together rather than eat out at Who Knows Where because nothing out there leaves us feeling good anymore.

Tonight's dinner: 
Pintos seasoned with crushed tomatoes, spices, garlic and onion; corn on the cob; fresh green beans sautéed with garlic, onion powder, and mushrooms using the corn water; applesauce for dessert

On the table in less than 30 minutes. Faster than any take out, delivery, frozen dinner, or probably most drive-thrus given the size of our order when we would go.

Scale was down today, lower than it's been. I have less than 3 pounds to go before I hit the next decade. You know I'm feeling really happy about that. :)

Broke a couple little toes last night, though.  I've been hobbling around today and trying to put my feet up when I can to keep the swelling down.  Really stinks. I was just setting some exercise goals with my T-Tapp workouts.

Tomorrow I'm going to try getting done my BWP and see how I do.  Hopefully I can get in a decent workout without irritating those little appendages.
