We had errands to run after church today so we decided to grab some lunch out. We haven't done this in a while, and honestly, it felt weird. It felt strange paying someone $10 for two roast beef sandwiches and a gyro. We didn't order fries or drinks which was a victory since this was the first time ordering food out (aside from our trip last month and my birthday) in a while. We have loved not eating out, and plan on continuing. Like today, if we do need to grab a bite while we are out, we will grab something on the healthier side and I'll continue to avoid fries and sodas.
I honestly have not missed eating out that much. Occasionally I have a small craving for Zaxby's or McDonald's fries. Mostly the only thing I really want from a restaurant these days is pizza. I still really like pizza, and could eat it nearly any day (although my serving would be much, much smaller). Sonic used to be a go-to place for drinks (and snacks of course), but since I'm not drinking sodas or sugary drinks anymore I have no desire to go there (well, occasionally when I see the BOGO boneless wings commercials). One thing is for sure, I do not miss the bloating and remorse of downing multiple McDoubles and Large fries. I also don't miss having to go to Bekah about not being honest about stopping for food. So not eating out, even though it's a pretty normal thing to do, is playing a major part in my life. It's helping me to lose my butter half.
Today's eating wasn't so good. I didn't have any vegetables (something I'm really trying to do each day). While I did make a good choice when we stopped for lunch, something happened in our neighborhood that distracted me from eating dinner. Instead I snacked and then had a PB&J. I was able to get a late ride in on my recumbent, so I'm happy about that.
