Great Googly-Moogly, give me some strength!

I am going out to lunch at least three times this week...the week I have dedicated to losing weight and tracking everything I eat.

Tomorrow isn't a big deal, because I have already decided on the salad, which is very yummy, and except for the cheese, which I have allowed for via my walk in the morning, low points.

Tuesday maybe be trickier. Don't believe me? Look at this!


Look at all of those desserts! And I am a sweet tooth if ever one drew a breath. And I am not sure what that strawberry thing is, but me want some! And what is that huge mound of nuts, presumably pecans in a pie crust???

Wednesday, day of rest, and hopefully some fasting.

Thursday, at it again...Here is the dessert list...

Mooncake – Named after the craters of the moon and similar to an openfaced eclair. Cream puff crust,filled with custard, then whipped cream and finally marbled chocolate on the top. Always a favorite 3.95

And they don't even mention their lemonade--one of the most glorious concoctions known to man. Lemonade--you ask...but it is like the nectar of the gods, and full of sugar and, get this...milk. Yes, milk. Sounds disturbing, but I tell you, it is wonderful!

I could have a date or 2 over the weekend, which would lead to more food and drink, and I have been asked to go to play mini-golf and go to dinner Saturday--if no better offers come around.

We are kicking around a few ideas for Friday, too. I am thinking maybe I should save the day for one of those colon treatments when they flush out all the crud you have eaten. That would be a great way to wind down my summer vacation!

And that is just it...summer is ending, and Mom and I haven't made it to any of the places we wanted to because of babysitting.

The older niece and nephew are out of town, and my brother is on the Owls, so he can keep the baby during the day. So obviously we are going to pig out on this respite!

Send me the good vibes to NOT eat until I explode like that guy in Monty Python's Meaning of Life.

  • I always thought Monty Python was a man thing - that was until I met you!
    As for all of those goodies above -did you see the baker? He is about 500 pounds with sweaty armpits that he let drip into the batter for some flavor. Oh, that was after he picked his nose with his hands that he didn't wash after using to bathroom. And, did I tell you that there is a water shortage so he hasn't been able to bathe in over a month?
    And, don't forget, he is a pig farmer at his second job.

    PS...have fun with mom...don't leave her anywhere!

  • That is the problem...they are cute little grandmotherly types. They are to sort of people you want to bake for you.

    Mom and I had a great first day out, and we walked a ton and ater VERY sensibly. Probably the only day we will do that. :)
