Did you really just say that?

I have yet another confession (I know, I have a lot of them).  I totally fell off the Day One Wagon.  Not just a little, but a lot.  I'm really quite amazing at finding ways to justify things like not exercising and eating crappy (but oh so delicious) food to myself.  But I've been trying to get back on the wagon this week.  I informed Jay a week or so ago that I need to eat healthier, and that means that he will also be eating helthier.  So, when he called me this afternoon and said he was willing to barbeque hamburgers if I picked some up on my way home, I thought, "I can find a way to make this healthier."  So, I bought multi-grain buns for the burgers instead of white buns and did not buy any potato chips to go with the burgers since I knew that if I did, I would just eat them all. 

The following is the highly absurd conversation we had when I got home:

Jay: "What are these?" (as he picks up the bag of buns from the counter)
Me: "Buns"
Jay: *slightly stunned stare*
Me: "What?  They're multi-grain.  Remember how we had the 'healthy eating' conversation not that long ago?"
Jay: "All too well."
Me: "Well, these are healthier than white buns."
Jay: *"deer-in-the-headlights" impersonation*
Me: "Would you rather have white buns or skinny Alisha?"
Jay: "Honestly?  White buns."

Thanks for having my Will Power's back, Sweetie.  At least I know he loves me for who I am!

  1. Ba ha ha! That totally sounds like something James would say! Next time, raise the stakes. Ask "Would you rather have white buns or a dead Alisha? Its a proven fact that overweight people are unhealthier and therefore die faster!" Hopefully he answers that one right!!
