Ahhh I'm finally getting a chance to sit down and relax after suffering from a serious case of the Mondays. Although this past weekend was an amazing time, it wasn't the best for Hank and I as our poor bodies were probably going through shock.
Why, you ask?
...rewind to 2 Sundays ago.
After spending way too much money drinking and eating our asses off (like, literally I scarfed down 20 wings, fries and steamed shrimp + beer at Hooters one night. But whose counting? They were buy 10 get 10 free. Obviously we had to take full advantage of the half-off situation) Hanky came to me with a brilliant challenge:
We would not go out to eat or have a single drink until 5 p.m. Friday.
Challenge Accepted.
Being the health freak I am, I quickly fell in love with this idea. So naturally, I put my happy ass in the car and headed to Publix. So many healthy dinner recipes were running 500 mph through my brain, I could hardly keep up with myself.
The following is a glimpse of what my cart consisted of:
Kale, spinach, onion, tomatos, broccoli, deli meat, healthy oat nut bread, oatmeal, cracker chips, ground chicken, beans, rice, nuts, low fat cheeses, fiber tortillas, milk thistle, fish oil, multivitamins, and tic tacs.
MMMmmmmmmm.
Although it was not easy, I am proud to say we survived the challenge. All our meals were healthy, we drank a ton of water, and we took our vitamins every single morning. So refreshing and between the 2 of us, we saved a good chunk of change.
It was bitter sweet. I had gotten used to the whole detox thing and it felt good.
And then there it was, the hour we had been waiting for all week. 5. FIVE. fiiiiiive.
How could I pass up the happiest of hours?
Our healthiness was soon forgotten.
We started our weekend off with the usual at Lillian's and it was delicious as always.
After that is when things started getting weird.
Who would have thought that taking 1 week off alcohol would have such an impact on tolerance?!
Anyways...
Saturday rolls around and Mandi and I absolutely needed a bagel filled with creamy, fattening cream-cheese from Bagel Love and boy was it good. It might be my new go-to on Saturdays.
Then, of course Hankalicious decides an hour later that he too needs food.
Where do we go next?
La Nop. Duh.
After my second breakfast we just sit around and do random things all day.. blahh blahh blahh.
And then we had a wedding to attend. Let's just say we had a blast.
Sunday morning came around and all I wanted to do was crawl into my bed with a gallon of water, watch endless episodes of Friends, and forget about all the awful (but delicious) junk food I had consumed over the weekend.
And then, I was quickly reminded that it was Superbowl Sunday. Great.
After all, it turned out to be a good day spent pigging out with 3 of my best friends while watching football and Beyonce (...but mostly Beyonce).
So, here I am now... drinking water, eating a grapefruit and
writing out my grocery list for this weeks meals.
Here's to another week of saving, detoxing, and healthifying.
