motivated monday

diet, diet, diet. these are the words i think of when its sunday night and i have reflected on all things i have consumed in the past 72 hours that are considered to be the weekend. i am always amazing at this whole diet thing until around 4pm on monday night when someone offers to go to dinner and i have no self control. however, i feel today might be different. today i have decided to give these miserable mondays a new name: motivated mondays. i have also decided to post small bites on monday to get me and other blog followers in a healthy mood and to realize that good things CAN come in small packages and maybe diets arent so bad. my niece, noodle or kayla as some people call her, asked me what a diet was yesterday. i responded with "its when grown ups want to loose weight so they eat healthy and less food." she responded "i guess i diet all the time then". i thought about that and then thought to myself, "i wish all kids in america ate healthy." maybe it will be the little noodles life mission. considering my sister doesnt feed her anything terrible and refuses to cook with salt, she might be a nutritionist. there is a first for everything in every family. anyways, motivated mondays may feature small things that are tasty or in some cases, not so tasty. i guess it depends what kind of mood i am in. today, i am in a not so tasty small bites mood. as all of you should know, i am ADDICTED to starbucks. i choose starbucks for two reasons: 1. you get free drinks after you purchase x amount. 2. they have a feature online that gives you money on auto refill. i love this because mine refills magically via my mamasita. im spoiled, i know. anyway, starbucks usually doesnt disappoint me but yesterday they did. i have been wanting to try their red velvet whoopie pie. its part of their petites promotion to cater to all of the starving women in orange county. well, i was sad but i also do not prefer sweets so i think my opinion on this is biased. there was just way too much frosting and not enough cake. i was very sad because i really wanted to be petite. oh well, life will go on and i will continue to search for other small bites to satisfy my small bite diet.
