Ugh, What is Wrong With Me?

November 10th, 2011 at 05:36 pm

I just do not want to cook right now. Oh, I don't mind cooking breakfast for the kids and assembling their lunches, but by the time I'm done with that I am no longer interested in cooking for me. Today after I dropped kiddo the second off at school I swung through the drive-thru and got food. This is so ridiculous. I suppose part of it, is that DD is on a pre-diabetic diet so she eats one way, and DS is on Feingold diet for his allergies, so he eats another way, and then I am doing controlled carb diet so I eat yet a third way (and that way does NOT involve the drive-thru of a fast food place, normally, there is nothing healthy there).

What I need to do is make up another batch of beef sausages ahead of time and then all I have to do is nuke one in the microwave, add some sliced cucumbers and call it breakfast. I need to get my head on straight about this, because I've frittered away money on lunch this week, too.

So dinner is going to be something very easy tonight to help me get my act together again. I'll roast a whole chicken (rubbed with olive oil, basil, oregano, salt and pepper) and bake some potatoes with it. I've already got some pre-cut broccoli so my only effort with that will be boiling the water. I can get myself back on track if I can just straighten out my mindset.

After dinner, I'll pick all the meat off the carcass and throw the carcass in the crockpot with water, rough cut carrots, celery, onions and garlic and make stock overnight. Then we can have chicken and noodles tomorrow. And there should still be enough chicken left over to make enchiladas and quesadillas.

I'm just a bit frustrated because I could have fed the entire family a meal for the amount I paid at the drive-thru for just me. Maybe it's time for another no eating out challenge.

    Don't beat yourself up to badly. It must be difficult to come up with three different meal types.

    Yikes. 3 different diets. Any entrees where all three intersect and then you can accessorize the sides? Maybe its a challenge for all of us to participate in the comments.

    Oh and I'd be tired too. You have a very heavy decision load to make especially if you are hungry yourself.

    Good job being aware of where you are, where you want to be and making plan to change! That is half the battle right there.
