Sometimes I still take the easy way out

Baby steps.

I’m making progress, but I’m not all the way there. Baby steps.

I’ve used this Just Lose It! contest as the catalyst of a lifestyle change. I know one of the main factors to my weight gain over the past few years is my eating habits. Specifically, the fact that I don’t like to cook.

I used Paisley’s training program to force myself to learn how to shop for healthy foods and learn to prepare them.

Tonight, after doing my interval training at the Lloyd Athletic Club, I stopped by QFC to pick up some groceries because I’m dangerously low on food. And today was one of those days were I was insanely hungry.

So as I walked through the deli I saw an easy way out. And I took it.

This will get me through a day or two. And look, no cooking necessary:
