The Silver Lining

So I decided today that its a lot more fun and motivating to focus more on my food victories than what I've eaten. Plus, according to my literature, the more positive experiences I can associate with doing healthy things, the easier it will be to be healthy! I'll still try and list what I've eaten recently, but let's focus on the brighter side, shall we?

Last night John and I were talking and we both really wanted to get some dessert. The fro-yo places just felt too far so we talked about getting a frosty from Wendy's. They're only 99 cents, so it's been a fun/cheap treat for us in the past. But after some thought, I decided that I just wouldn't feel good about eating a bunch of high fructose corn syrup. So we skipped it! I had a handful of kettlecorn from the farmer's market and a glass of wine instead. Hooray!

What I've eaten today:

2 hardboiled eggs

yogurt

coffee

mcdonald's cheeseburger (lame)

mozzarella & tomato salad

raw bellpepper

saltine crackers

I'm making some turkey chili to take to marriage group tonight, so I'll have that too. I also have a country club/trailer trash potluck tomorrow night. Not sure how that's gonna work out. Potlucks with friends that can cook just seems so daunting... and delicious. I was planning on making some Paula Deen mac n' cheese, but maybe I should figure out something healthier. Any ideas?
