What I Will ALWAYS Order at Moe's

So, the other night shit got icy here. People went crazy. Stopped at stores and stocked up like it was the beginning of the next ice age or something. I, on the other hand, decided I wanted to order a pizza. Because nothing says I'm a bitch like being sent home from work early for icy conditions and then making some poor schmuck drive over with a large pepperoni and jalapeño pizza for just you.

But then Barbie started talking about cheese dip and I decided to brave the brutal drop in temperatures, fine mist and crazy, hidden ice patches for some Moe's. Not exactly fine Mexican but no way in hell was I driving with these batshit crazy ATLANTANS who shit themselves if it rains and suddenly "misremember" all rules of driving.

Ten minutes and two huge falls on patches of ice later (one of which almost resulted in me being run over after falling and sliding over the ice into the damn street) I came home with this bad boy:

Now compare that with the NORMAL version of the same thing:

Yeah, I got the Junior Size of the Joey Bag of Donuts (sans beans, I wasn't feeling them that night). Here's how it ranks nutritionally:

Calories: 365

Total Fat: 15 g

Saturated Fat: 6 g

Carbohydrates: 42 g

Protein: 17 g

Now, it's not the healthiest thing EVER but it is WAYYYYY better than most everything else on the menu. Plus, if you're like me, the full size is too big but you eat it all anyway because it tastes delicious. This way, once you're done....well, you are DONE.

Mark your Calendars!

Because you can get a 6 oz serving of QUESO from Moe's Southwest Grill on July 21st! Click here to find out how.

I swear I'm not being paid. I wish I was.

Grocery List

So, I have opted to sign up for the training sessions with Cassandra the Beast. The first thing she asked me is about my eating habits...Uhhhh... WHOOPS.

Okay, so I can do cardio until the cows come home. But lift weights and fight my cravings? IM.POSS.IBLE. Seriously, I last about 5 days and then right when the weekend comes around BAM. Anyway, in an effort to get on the right track so as not to "waste our time" (her words) I went shopping today. Here is the list:

• Skim Milk
• Dannon Yogurt- Vanilla, reduced fat
• Strawberries
• Romaine Lettuce
• Cucumber
• Tomato
• Red Bell Pepper
• Green Bell Pepper
• Banana
• Ovenroasted Turkey breast
• Reduced Fat Feta
• Vegetable Oil
• Fat Free Caesar Italian Dressing
• Roasted Red Pepper Vinagrette
• Red Wine Vinegar
• Kellog All-Bran cereal
• Pita Bread
• Eggs
• Chicken Breast

I have to say it felt good to be picking up healthy foods for myself. I'm a little worried about the whole cooking thing and I don't want anything to go bad before I get a chance to eat it. I looked at other people's carts and thought to myself, "Do you even know what you are ingesting?" I sure as hell don't but I'm making a real effort to find out. I even examined several boxes of cereal and pita bread before determining one that was low on calories and carbs but high on protein.

Of course, it was Cinco de Mayo and while all my friends were out having a blast at block parties and Mexican restaurants I opted to get some extra hours in for extra cash. So I hit up Moe's where they were doing a promotion for $3 Burritos. I got a Triple Lindy and a small serving of cheese dip. I ate half the burrito and took the other half to the fridge immediately. Then I enjoyed one beer before bed. I can't say I felt deprived but I know if I were out with friends I would have ordered something totally different and drank too much. Sometimes making good decisions can suck in the short term but in the long run, they are the best decisions you can make!
