Right now, I'm making a big pot of chicken tortilla soup in my slow cooker (which would have been nicer if the weather was actually March-like! Sheesh!). It seems to be my current pull-my-fat-ass-out-of-the-junk-food-tornado food. I can portion it out and eat it all week long. Sans tortillas, because those, although knee-bucklingly delicious, add like 200 calories to an otherwise healthy food (not to mention sodium!), and really...I don't need them. I do, however, top it with Monterey jack cheese - which is something fairly new up here - and hello! Melty, stretchy HEAVEN!! Why have you people been keeping it secret? Trying to keep it all for yourselves? Ah, who could blame you? That shit is crazy good!
Updating my life...well...I wrote about New York City...which was grand. I can't wait to go back, and when I win the lottery, I'm getting an adorable place in Greenwich Village, and spend endless days wandering the city and hanging in Manhattan, cursing the tourists. It's gonna be sweet!
Other than that, I'm pretty wrapped up in rehearsals for my play. It's really coming together, and I think it's going to be great! My worries about making out with a strange boy on stage were for nothing...he's awesome, and although I'm still a giggling idiot when I have to do it in front of everyone, it's all coming together! I'm so so glad that I got back into theatre! I had no idea how much I'd missed it! I'm very grateful that I got it back!
Hey! Here's an idea! I think everybody should post their go-to 'getting back on the wagon' food! When you know you've been being bad, what is your food that you make to get you back into healthy eating? I wanna know!! Comment, or, even better, blog about it!
For me, definitely veggies and lots of them. So good. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know that its my go to food, but I also make an awesome tortilla soup sans the tortilla. I make it probably three or so times a month.
ReplyDeleteIt's hot as hades here too in Georgia!
ReplyDeleteIm coming to opening night to see you kiss that boy on stage - I will take lots of video for all in blog land to see! Love Ya.xx ps. feeling better today and getting prepared for tomorrow and day 1 of SOFT!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Soft! So exciting!! Xo
DeleteMy go to food is actually an Atkins shake. I go back to all liquids when I get out of control. It always cures me of being too focused on food. I second video for the play. I want to see it!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question. I don't think I have a food like that. My "get back on track" is logging.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm getting back on the wagon - I dress up my veggies and make them sing for their supper. Like today, I made parmesan crusted asparagus. Delish! And fish. Lots of fish.
ReplyDeleteMonterey Jack cheese is thebomb.com. Now I need some...
Whoops. I called my post something different. It's on the Rollercoaster blog and stars you. And some other stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis weather is bananas!! We, here in the state that is practically right on the sun, are freezing!! :)
ReplyDeleteRefried beans (without the refry)...I make my own in the crock pot, them top with LF sour cream, salsa and a bit-o'-cheese ...jack, cheddar, anything will do. Yum!
ReplyDeleteLovely and unusual weather, eh?
ReplyDeleteI broke out the capris and flip flops this March and I live in Colorado...it's crazy! We're scheduled for a ski weekend for Spring Break and no new fresh powder on the horizon...
