Healthy Intentions, Sweet Detours 🥦🍫

Every so often, I decide it’s time to get serious about healthy eating. You know — more leafy greens, fewer processed snacks, and maybe even a smoothie that doesn’t involve chocolate syrup. I picture myself casually slicing colorful veggies, blending up green drinks, and glowing like one of those Pinterest wellness queens.

Then reality hits — or rather, the grocery store does.

Somewhere between the spinach and the checkout line, I blacked out. When I came to, there were two bags of Hershey Kisses, a pumpkin pie, and a can of whipped cream in my cart. I swear they jumped in on their own. I must have been possessed by the spirit of dessert.

I could have turned back… but honestly? I didn’t want to. Because balance, my friends. Life’s too short to pass up whipped cream season.

I’ll eat the veggies — eventually. They’re chilling in the fridge right now, waiting patiently while I “evaluate my priorities.” Meanwhile, the Hershey Kisses are mysteriously disappearing, one innocent handful at a time.

So yes, I’m on a journey toward healthier habits. But I’m also realistic — and a little sweet never hurt anyone (unless we’re talking about stepping on the scale afterward).

Progress, not perfection. And maybe just a dollop of whipped cream on top.
