Colleen Roy Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Worked at school all day today-creating common assessments-fun, fun, fun. (Actually, it is because I work with some really fun teachers! ) Hit Nubanusit Lake afterwards for a lovely three hour kayak paddle-it was simply gorgeous out there today! Got home at 6:30pm and lit the grill...took the chicken thighs out of the fridge only to discover that they were BAD. Ugh. They smelled really bad despite a "sell by" date of August 2nd. There was NOTHING else to cook protein wise, besides two eggs-tomorrow is grocery day. I just couldn't do eggs tonight. So, I put the bad chicken in a grocery bag and headed down there to get a refund. Which they gladly did. Got some fresh chicken and some broccoli as I was craving something green that wasn't salad tonight. Came home, restarted the grill, cooked up some tasty grilled chicken thighs, confetti cauliflower rice and steamed broccoli with chili oil. YUM. Yes, I ate about 30 minutes later than I would have liked, but I did not give in to easy, non-compliant or any other such nonsense. I fed myself right. Yeah me! This is especially good for me because in the past, I would probably have skipped dinner or eaten something not so good because it's just me tonight-DH is at aikido class. I'm learning to enjoy cooking for just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HikeMoreTrails Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 that's awesome Colleen, and inspirational! I'm going to try to remember this when I end up in a similar situation (we all do eventually) and instead of trying to go for the easier softer way I'm gonna suck it up and take care of myself! thanks for sharing this experience!

Enz Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yep, it's so easy to think we're not worth the effort for just ourselves - but we are!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraPh2009 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 God job... I hate it when I have to go back to the store - it is hard to not let that derail you. That is a good mantra.. "don't cave to "easy"". I will have to remember that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
