Slip-up

Today was really hard on me. As the days go by and I haven't found a job, I get more and more worried and depressed. I hate not working! I try to keep busy, but mostly I just watch TV and look for jobs online. So far I've not fallen into the trap of eating out of boredom, but today I sort of did.
As many of you know, I'm publishing a cookbook, which is in the editing stages. My lovely editor (and sister) tried one of my recipes and said it didn't come out right, so I got right into the kitchen and tested it. Well that lovely recipe was chocolate chip scones... granted they're a lighter version of scones, but still... I had to taste test one...
Anything to get my cookbook perfect :)


So here's the stats for today


Exercise - 25 minute run (about 2.5 miles)


Eats - Breakfast: 1/4 c. steel cut oats, 1 c. water, 1/4 c. blueberries, splash of milk, coffee
Lunch: 1 c. organic tomato soup, 1/2 english cucumber, 1 c. plain yogurt and a chopped peach
Snack: Chocolate chip scone
Dinner: Provencal Stuffed Portabello, Baked Arancini di Riso
Dessert: Cherries

  1. Your slip-up day EATS looks better than my good day EATS.

    I am sure you'll find a job! I know it is frustrating. At one point this summer I wasn't sure if there would be a job for me this school year. Thankfully you have the type of job where there are more options.

  2. Oh my goodness, Ash! ONE scone isn't a slip up! At least you didn't adopt the attitude of "well, I already had one...might as well eat the rest!". Fighting that attitude of mine and overcoming the All or Nothing approach to weight loss has been my biggest battle so far.

    I know it must drive you bonkers when you're not working. Keep looking, hon. Something will turn up!

  4. Don't beat yourself up, Ash! We all have those slip-ups. For what it's worth, I bet it was delish. :)

  5. I always have trouble on the weekends when I'm home, I find myself eating out of boredom nine times out of ten. That's when I got shopping and do some credit card damage rather than body damage. I know, it's a trade-off, but that's my vice right now. :)

    Hope
