Last night the family and I went down to the water front for the Chow Wagon. Knowing that I would most likely not be able to find the appropriate amount of carbs, fats, and proteins while I was there, I just said screw it. Seriously. And it felt great.
All day, I stayed on point with my numbers. But when it came time to head out, I put the MFP app away and didn’t worry about it. No need in seeing the numbers logged into the app because I knew they would be bad. And I didn’t want to spend my time walking around trying to figure out how to log deep fried cookie dough. Sometimes the mental break away is much needed.
Not pictured: Cookie dough milkshake.
I think that picture of my oldest shows how much she liked it. The chocolate was super sweet though. Sugar overload for sure.
Oh wait, can’t forget my wife’s favorite: funnel cake. At this point, I had only had about half of the deep fried cookie dough but had most of the milkshake, so I only had a few pieces of the funnel cake. I knew I was going to go all in with the deep fried Oreos later.
These things are just sinfully fantastic. An Oreo covered with red velvet cake, deep fried, served with a giant glop of cream icing. Last year I remember eating all of these and wanting more. This year I could only handle three, and since my entire family was also suffering from pre-sugar-overdose, I ended up tossing the last one in the trash. It was very sad and we said a few kind words about its life then shed a few tears.
I had so much fun last night because it was a break in the routine. It is pretty rare that I eat this much of stuff this bad. And when I got home I wasn’t feeling all that great physically. All that sugar is horrible for me and I know it.
But every now and then I have to cut loose and indulge.
