So last night my flatmate left the fridge cracked open. I had chicken defrosting in there that I was going to make for dinner tonight. I had to throw it out. And all day at work I kept trying to tell myself that since the chicken was bad, and we didn't have anything else defrosted, that my hubby and I could just go eat out. I didn't want to "waste" money on more chicken. We already have about 6 pounds pre-trimmed and packaged in the freezer.Why the hell should I spend more money on chicken? This happened all day.
ALL DAY.
Until I was on my way home and at the very last minute made a decision that would probably change my life. I decided I would just go to the store and buy fresh chicken.
Had we gone out to eat, I would have felt guilty. I would have said "Eh, screw it, lets just eat horribly the whole weekend." By Monday i would have felt even more guilty and spent the work week emotionally eating through that guilt. And I would end up weighing more in 6 months than I do now.
But I just made one simple decision to just stop at the store, buy some fresh chicken, and prepare that for dinner. While there I stocked up on fresh veggies and fruit. So now we definitely have plenty of healthy options this weekend. And the best part is, I only spent about $15 on a bunch of food. We probably would have spent more on one meal at a fast food joint.
No. More. Excuses.
