So I’ve gotten back in the gym (yay me) and I’ve been eating lots of fruits and salads, rice cakes and oatmeal, fat free coffee creamer and all that jazz. I actually like rice cakes. :-/
Anyway, so apparently clementines are in season now. I picked up a few at the local market and killed them within a day. The next week I went to the bigger market and got a case. Yes, a case of clementines. They’re that good. Instead of munching in candy or chips, I’m eating clementines and bananas…which is all good for me. Except one thing.
After eating fruit all day and working out in the evening, there’s only one thing that will satisfy my tastebuds.
Pasta.
I’m not talking about watered down stuff. I’m talking hearty, stick-to-your-bones pasta. I started getting spaghetti with mushrooms from Mama Santas in Little Italy (can’t beat it for $8). But lately I’ve been on am Alfredo kick. And honey, my Alfredo is serious.
None of that fettuccine from the box. Nope, I gotta have fresh pasta.
And none of that right out the jar stuff. My stuff is upgraded!
But I know it’s undoing all my good workout efforts.
What’s an alternative? I’m doing good by staying away from potatoes and white rice and fried foods. But it seems like I shifted from one bad eating habit (French fries) to another (rich pasta)
I can’t win!
