Sucker for “Suggestions”

by runeatrepeat on December 24, 2009

I am such a sucker for “suggestions”. If I see someone eat a certain food I enjoy I end up craving it until I get it. Today a woman at the salon was eating soup in the waiting room (I know that was random). I saw her eating away and totally got a craving for crappy canned soup. I ended up eating it as part of dinner – with added veggies! IMG_3439

Lunch was a veggie sandwich with 1/2 an avocado, chips and an apple.IMG_3431

I have the worst habit of being a Snacky McSnackerson at my mom’s. There is a lot of food here I normally try to keep out of my house, but it’s all free game here! So there were many handfuls of cereal, nuts and half a brownie that went unpictured. But, the good news is my mom also has tons of healthy choices – like fresh blubes.

For some reason eating blueberries just make me feel healthier. You know? IMG_3434

The whole fam piled in the van to get food for Christmas dinner and cookies. But, we got home too late and will just bake tomorrow.

Dinner was a tostada with a baked shell – good job again Mom :) IMG_3436

And canned soup in a fun bowl.IMG_3438

You have no idea how grateful I am for my family, friends and California. I am still on a complete high! But, I am also jet lagged and starting to feel it. I need to hit the sack before I start slurring my words…

See you on Christmas Eve!!!

I also crave things until I get to have them. Lately, it’s been pizza.

I am a total snacker at my parents house too! I kind of hate it! Tomorrow I’m going to try to have Green Monsters throughout the day to try to curb my cravings and chew gum while I cook. Hopefully all will be well. I hate how I’m always too full to eat by the time Christmas dinner comes around because I’ve been snacking all day!

*joins hands with the other “snack at the parents” folks* Funny though- my parents are here at my house this Christmas and they brought all of their snacks with them!
lol! Mom said, ” we didn’t think you had pop tarts in the house.” The hubs is in heaven. :P

I’m the same way – I get a craving for something and I get totally sidetracked by it until I get it!

Hope you guys get to move back to CA soon — it really sounds like you’d be much happier there! Running in awesome weather 365 days of the year isn’t so bad either… :)

Also, I want to steal that Tony the Tiger bowl!

Agreed. The fam always has tons of food I try to stay away from. But, since we’re only there “on vacation” it gets eaten no problem.
