To indulge or not to indulge!
So I am working on losing weight which has been a very long battle. I eat pretty health most of the time, having a treat here and there. There were two specials on at Zehrs this week that were hard to say no to. First thing I noticed was Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream 3 for $10 for the 500ml cartons. Then there was also a meal deal on, a bbq chicken, salad and wedges. So this was my lupper. It was quite the tasty treat to eat, with the anticipation of the delicious "Half Baked" ice cream waiting for me in the freezer. Now I have eaten Ben and Jerry's once I believe, so I did not remember how delicious this ice cream would be. a spoonful here and there and before I knew it the tub was gone. Now I must confess that I didn't stop eating it because someone else was eating their whole thing. So I didn't want to stop either. I was very full afterwards and really regretted eating all of the two cups of ice cream. However, boy oh boy was it tasty. I will say I suffered greatly from my over indulgence. Yes I said over...it was too much. About an hour after eating this I became very lathargic and flopped on my bed. I fell asleep almost right away and time slipped away from me, before I knew it I had 45 minutes left before I would have to leave to go to the prayer meeting at church. I debated it actually if I should go, I didn't know if I would have the energy to walk there and back. However I forced myself wanting to walk off some of the effects of the ice cream as well as some of the many calories I inhaled. I feel much better now that I have at least 40 minutes worth of walking in after such an intake of food. Lesson learned one serving of ice cream will do. Any other treats need to be broken down too...I have a goal in mind and I am determined to reach it.
