The downfall i n trying to make a change to your diet is you have to make sure you have time in your schedule to prepare.
Yesterday was filled with work, hair appointments, and team dance pictures. Breakfast was easy as it was a bunch of fresh blackberries and raspberries. With a hair appointment over lunch I only snacked on a little bit of granola. This worked out well as my stomach was a bit upset (I think from the pound of bacon I scarffed down the night before in attempts to savor my last chance at eating red meat).
Getting all of the girls picked up (yes - there's four of them) costumes loaded, hair and make up done for pictures, left us with no time to cook dinner. So I did what most parent's in my situation do....eat out.
Now I'm not a big fan of fastfood and I wanted to ensure I had heatlhier choices available. We went for the buffet at Valentino's. My family loaded up on pizza, pasta, puddings, shrimp, and chicken. I went for pasta with marinara and a very large salad.
The "win" for me wasn't that I just managed to be meat free, but I actually ate things on my salad that I wouldn't have dare tried before. It was loaded with mushrooms, olives, and tomoatos. 3 foods that I would avoild like the plague in the past.
The total fail is, it's now the next day and I still didn't prepare. My breakfast was skipped (granted I have some granola and dried fruit in my purse); lunch will be a prepacked tuna salad sandwhich mix on 12 grain bread..... I haven't even begun to think about dinner.
