AN ICE CREAM DAY

It just takes one thing to set me off on a trail.

Friday it was a Frosty at Wendy's.

Which was followed by Dairy Queen - and then my husband brought home that Premium Select Moose Tracks Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.

Plus he FORGOT TO PUT IT IN THE FREEZER.

I don't know about anyone else, but soupy ice cream 1) doesn't refreeze well, and 2) I absolutely ADORE.

I am atoning for it today.

So - Friday
Frosty -- 318
Dairy Queen - 329
the ENTIRE pint Premium Select Moose Tracks Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream -- 800

TOTAL -- 1,447

Hey, that's not that bad.

But today --
French Toast -- 298
Bacon -- 92
Popcorn (went and saw Harry Potter again) -- 200
Yogurt x 2 -- 300
Fiber One x 2 -- 120

TOTAL -- 1,010

Man, I should have just had another ice cream day.

FUNERAL POTATOES

The new Dairy Queen diet - if you are within seven miles of DQ, you get a medium twist cone, and then skip the next meal.

Seems to be working.

Today -- 2 x Yogurt -- 300
2 x Fiber One -- 120
Dairy Queen medium twist cone -- 329
Popcorn -- 200

TOTAL 949

TUESDAY CHILD IS FULL OF GRACE

Yogurt times about three -- 450
Fiber One (ditto) -- 180
Dairy Queen (YES!) -- 329
Stuffed Green Pepper -- 230
Popcorn -- 200


TOTAL -- 1,389

MONDAY MONDAY

I think weeks need to be rearranged. I have no problem with Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.

I just don't think our work week should begin on Monday. I propose that Sunday and Monday become the weekend, with the work week beginning on Tuesday.

Once again, as a Latter-Day Saint, Sundays are anything but a day of rest - we have a three-hour meeting block to begin with, additional choir rehearsals, presidency meetings, firesides, lessons to begin preparing to be taught the next Sunday.

So I want Mondays simply to recover from Sundays.

Today: 2 x yogurt -- 300
2 x Fiber one -- 120
ONE piece of toast and peanut butter (I'm eating it as I type) -- 130 + 376

TOTAL -- 926

Rats - it's too late to drive into Dairy Queen, isn't it?

FAST SUNDAY... HA!

Latter-Day Saints have the first Sunday of every month scheduled as what we call "Fast Sunday." We are encouraged to abstain for food or drink for at least two meals, and donate as much as we can to our church's charity funds.

I was, at one time, very diligent about maintaining a 24 hour fast. Then it got down to 12 hours... maybe... on good months. After that, it became just food - I would get dizzy way too quickly if I got dehydrated at all.

Finally I would try to give up something... like chocolate... for at least my church meeting block... again, on a good month.

Today:
Yogurt x 2 -- 300
Fiber One x 2-- 120
Toast and Peanut Butter x 2 -- 260+376
Popcorn -- 200
TOTAL -- 1,256
