... Even for a second!
Making this work is plan plan plan, well I am tired! These short days always leave me feeling like I never have enough time to truly kick it up a good few notches and see it through. As a result it's easy to get comfortable with small things we convince ourselves are okay, yet they are subtlely pushing us in the opposite direction.
This is a prime example of what I mean: I didn't plan very well, even though I had the groceries I didn't feel like cooking and taking ready made food to work. I've just been so tired. As a result it was, well what to do for lunch? I ended up going to a Japanese place and ordered hibachi chicken with vegetables only, no rice. So it was basically just cooked in soy sauce. The meal was great, fresh onions, brocolli, carrots, zucchini and chicken. So I thought this is great, I'll do it again! And so I did.
The only difference was the next time I stood there watching them make it, only to see them dipping into a huge butter dish constantly tossing in pats of butter to keep the food sizzling. Oh man ... NOT as healthy as I thought.
This is what happens when we get comfortable aka convince ourselves we've found a shortcut that 'works'. Could be time to reassess some shortcuts against progress achieved thus far ;)
