So it's been almost a week since I've posted any new recipes that I've tried or created, and I've been doing a really bad job of posting pics of my meals on my instagram. I wanted to write this post to show all of you out there that I'm actually human. My diet isn't always perfect and healthy like some of the meals that I post. I'm human just like you. I know some of you out there think that every dietitian, healthy food blogger, and nutrition professional out there eats a very strict and healthy diet. I'm here to tell you that that just isn't true. There are just some days where eating healthy is the last thing you have time for. I get it.
These past few weeks, this week especially, have been extra busy. I've been studying my a$$ off for my ACSM Personal Trainer Certification, babysitting, and still finishing up my work at the Foodbank (my last day is next week!). With all of that going on, I just haven't been in the mood to prepare dinners. I've gotten caught by the eating out trap a few times this week and let me tell you, I'm ready to get back to cooking. It's okay to have a few days that are like this. Nobody is perfect. Here's the thing that gets most people--after a few bad days, people lose the motivation to a healthy routine. Don't let that be you! I may have had a Philly cheese steak sub and fries for dinner last night, but I'm not about to have it for lunch today, and dinner tonight, and dinner tomorrow. It was a treat. Everything is okay in moderation as long as you get that! I'm not ashamed of that meal and you shouldn't be either. Just remember that one bad day of eating isn't going to define you or your diet. Instead of dwelling over the fact you just ate a cheeseburger and fries, rejoice in the fact you just enjoyed a delicious treat and remember that it's okay, because your meals are normally balanced.
This weekend, I plan on taking a study break to experiment with creating my own nut-butter. So, look forward to a post on that... coming soon! Until then, happy eating everybody! :)
