Eating More Fat At Home Resolution

January 6, 2014 · In: LIFESTYLE

Hamburger and Fries

So, this could be the pregnant woman talking but I’ve declared a “fat-zone” in my kitchen recently. Normally I cook VERY healthy meals at home and when we get the urge to eat something “bad,” we go out. Over the holiday, it seemed that we wanted something “bad” a lot. So in the spirit of saving more money this year as well as our waistlines, I’m going to be incorporating a few fat-tastic meals during the week. 

***Let’s get real. I see you at the Whole Foods salad bar making that raw vegan bowl of greens, sans-dressing. I know you go home and inhale a gluten-free, dairy-free ice-cream-donut sandwich every once in a while. Yeah, me too. 

I figure that making this stuff at home can’t be nearly as calorie-horrific as any restaurant. This is mainly because my butter knife hand has an automatic cut-off point. I physically CAN’T kill us with lard (except on holidays or when having guests over). It’s not in my DNA-possibly because I’m half Asian and my mother most likely did not eat anything like butter or refined sugar until her late twenties when she was living in the U.S. 

I hardly ever bought milk, cheese or cheese-like thing (i.e.cream cheese)…until I become pregnant. I want dairy like a newly skinny girl wants miniskirts. 

So I will buy some cheese, red meat and ice cream so I stop spending 4 times as much for it at restaurants. I’ll tell you how it goes…well, just look at my photos (or lack there of) to see how I’m “wearing” the new plan. I’m also one of those Paris-Hilton-esque weirdoes who if I have tons of food or “bad” things around, I have less of a hankering for them. That is the opposite of a roommate I once had to told me we HAD to hide all of our junk food in a basket, on a shelf that required a ladder to reach it (I gained weight while said basket was out of reach).

What do you think of THAT!? Does it make you feel:

a. Worried about our health

b. Excited about a miracle fat-diet

c. Hungry

d. Like you would rather be watching a Selena Gomez movie

P.S. Stay tuned for a new easy homemade salad dressing recipe this week.

    Love this post, Christina! I’m totally the same way 🙂 If I want something unhealthy, I try to make it myself (while also trying to make it sliiiightly healthier) But sometimes you just can’t help it! I say everything in moderation. I know it’s probably tough as a pregnant woman, but hey, I always say to feed the urge because if I don’t, I end up eating everything else just to find that same satisfaction I would’ve found in what I originally wanted! lol!

I had to simplify weight loss because I have so many other things I want to pour my energy into!

You see me doing a million things but I’m actually impatient and lazy. I’m a Taurus who loves to lounge and eat donuts.

I found a way to eat donuts, lose weight and do it with the least effort.

The food is easy. The prep is easy. I don’t even think about it anymore.

I started my journey in the summer and it was the best life upgrade of the year.

Follow @christinajwarren to make life easier and more enjoyable simply with your attitude.
Life has its twists and turns. Everything can chan Life has its twists and turns. Everything can change in a moment. 

All possibilities are equally available at all times. 

You have the free will to reach out and touch whichever one you choose 

There have been times when I thought gosh how did I get into this situation? 

I had to remind myself that I could get myself out of it.

I had to remind myself that I had the power to create the life that I wanted.

I hope there’s something that you want that you’ve decided to experience for yourself. 

Not someday or if this or if that.

Cheering you on, my friend!
Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your fu Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your full life even more:

1. Tying my worthiness to outcomes- at the end of each day I focus on how the day felt, over what got done.

There are days when I am a super DOER and I also have heartburn. 

I want less days like that and more days that feel peaceful regardless of the list.

2. Earning rest-If I feel like eating donuts and sleeping on the sofa all Saturday morning, that’s awesome. Don’t need permission and don’t need to apologize-just enjoy.

3. Saying “I should”- That’s a 100% red flag for something I SHOULDN’T do. 

That’s a signal that it’s something that someone else says I should be doing-not my inner authority.

4. Needing things to be hard- I say things like “Show me how easy this gets to be,” (and I believe it). The proof presents itself.

5. Needing it to be perfect before sharing-not that I’m sharing the hot mess, just that it can be 80% and ready for the world. 

Some things take off right away and others need tweaking. Get it out there to find out where you are at sooner.

It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve your life. You feel like you need more- money, creativity, luck.

That’s actually not true though.

When I fall into this trap, I do this…

Here’s the trick.

When you ask yourself “why is this so hard” your brain goes to work finding every reason it is.

BUT when you ask “why is this so easy for me?” “Why is it all falling into place?”

Your brain has to find proof of that instead.

Different question. A completely different experience.

Keep asking that question all day! Stop asking “Is it working?” Just do it!

Try it on your house. Your body. Anything you’ve been stuck on and tell me what happens!

Do you use mindset tricks like this?

Follow @christinajwarren if you enjoy finding ways to be empowered in your life, no matter what is going on around you.
How many times was I going to send this listing to How many times was I going to send this listing to my friend and my husband, asking if it’s worth a 45 minute drive to go pick this up?

If I waited any longer, it was going to be gone.

But what if that was a sign that it wasn’t for me?

where was my sign from the universe?

I just knew this was going to give our family room the cozy vibe I wanted. 

Everything else in the room was new so it needed something to feel warmer, unexpected, collected and personal.

I kept holding the phone up to the couch trying to picture it.

It belonged here.

She was asking $100 and I asked if $80 would be ok. It was deal and we were off on a long trip, deep into the city.

Was this going straight to Goodwill?

She put the cutest note on top and her roommate helped up load it into our truck.

I dumped a bunch of water on it and gave it a good scrub plus some scraping off of candle wax. No problem!

Truly, what’s meant for you will never pass you by. 

When you search and shop with that vibe, all the right stuff will arrive in your feed and you’ll get the perfect piece.

No kidding, within a day of DECIDING my coffee table was going to be on Marketplace, it showed up.
