It’s been a rough, although delicious weekend. I did not make one healthy choice this weekend – no, not one. It started with breakfast at CDs on Saturday morning. I ordered what is now know as “Beth’s Omelet”, which consists of 2 eggs (the regular omelets have 3), cheddar cheese and sausage – all well-done. This comes with home fries and an english muffin. Fortunately, I was unable to finish it, in fact I don’t think I even ate half of it, but that was not my intention.
After breakfast, I took my daughter shopping for some much-needed winter school clothes. She received a McDonalds gift card for Christmas and took me out to lunch. We dined on Big Macs and Chicken McNuggets. She tasted a Big Mac for the first time (used to get an “ewwwwwwwwww”), and now it’s a “wow – that’s great”. Unfortunately for her – she really liked it. And as a thank you gesture for taking me out to lunch – I took her to Cold Stones for ice cream. I had a small (that was the only good decision I made there) chocolate with brownies, fudge and cookie dough. She had a small chocolate with rainbow sprinkles, snickers and fudge. All very good, but oh so bad.
We went to a family “thing” for dinner. I never felt so trapped. We munched on chocolate chip cookies, cheese, coke, 2/3rds of a piece of pizza and crab dip with cream cheese. Fortunately, I was able to get us out of there quickly and avoid eating even more crap. On the way home, since I was feeling deprived of any real dinner we treated ourselves to a Snickers Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich – a new frozen novelty that the Emperor so kindly introduced me to.
Sunday was a bit better. We started off with church and the after church breakfast took us back to CDs place where I had a sausage and cheese on an english muffin with home fries and a coke. We had a late lunch at one of our favorite places in Boyertown – Durangos Saloon. I had half of a buffalo chicken wrap and the best fries ever and the other half of the Emperors Cuban sandwich. The hot sauce on the buffalo chicken was too much for me so we traded other halves. Then we went to the Super Bowl party at my mother’s house.
Fortunately I don’t come from a drinking family – just eating. Somehow the world views that as better. I’m not sure, but I suppose you can become obese from either. We just don’t have the liver problems – only cardiovascular. I only had a small piece of chocolate cake and a few chocolate candy pretzels there – could have been much worse.
I think that was all I consumed from my fall from grace. Anyway, the results are apparent as I stepped on the scale this morning and gained 5 of the 6 lbs that I lost last week – back.
I’m back on track as of this morning. I had a small bowl of Bran Chex this morning for breakfast and I will be having a chocolate Smoothie for lunch.
