Sometimes You Just Have to Eat Well

Sometimes, you just have to eat well, ya know? This week my aunt and I hung out for a movie and dinner night. At the movies, I ordered this kids box which came with a super small popcorn, fruit snacks (which I saved for the girls), and a small drink. I shared a little bit of my popcorn, mixed in some raisinets, and enjoyed the movie (The One Hundred Foot Journey- I highly recommend it if you have not seen it. It's clever and has a ton of food porn in it! I was starving afterwards). When the movie let out, we headed over to a local restaurant that serves an amazing menu of seafood, among other things. This place does not disappoint! What did I order that was so fabulous? You ask. Everything! Especially the beet salad. I would and could eat it every day of my life and be extremely content and happy. As if that weren't enough, I tried some shrimp with biscuits, asparagus soup, bread dipped in olive oil and sundried tomatoes, and then my main course was a portobello mushroom ravioli in a goat cheese cream sauce served with roasted asparagus and carrots. It was to die for and I did not regret a second of it. Nor do I regret the glass of champagne and glass of wine that I consumed.

Usually I am conscious of what I order when I am out. I try to eat clean and healthy most of the time; but ya do have to live a little, ya know?! What I am trying to say is love your life; be healthy, but still live your life! 

And now that my night out is over, it's back to eating clean and exercising and not making a one-time indulgent dinner turn into a bad habit.
