Well, it was bound to happen. Today, I blew it. For the first time since I started the diet, I overate. We were out, and I did not bring my pre-prepared food with me. The kids started complaining, my wife was getting light-headed, and I was weak. We decided to go to Chipolte.
Now, I was prepared for just such an event, and had prepared myself by thinking of what I would get before I even went inside. Normally, I would get a few tacos or a burrito, but this time, I went for the salad. I know, it sounds like a reasonable option, but in the end I still managed to eat too much. The salad itself was wonderful (I am not sure if this is because I haven't had anything so tasty in a while, if I was just really hungry, or if it actually was good--I think it was a bit of all three).
Anyway, as I was eating, I realized that all the food that I have been eating is kind of bland. I also realized that something must be working, because I don't remember EVER getting a salad at a place like Chipolte before. Interestingly, I not only got the salad, but I liked it, which is even more amazing. Actually, the only place I have ever gotten a salad and liked it is this place called Cafe Rio in Utah. The salads there are really, really good, but unfortunately I like this creamy dressing which is probably full of fat and is not authorized by Kristi Approved/Live the Life. The good news is that Cafe Rio is coming to Northern Virginia (this is probably the best news I have gotten this year); the bad news is that I will have to figure out a way to restrain my desire for just about everything they serve there, which may prove to be a challenge I am not up for.
