Feeding Frenzy

The last 10 days have been one long, gluttonous feeding frezy.

Being Jewish, I naively thought I could avoid the food trappings of the holiday season. I did pretty well at the office holiday party. And I did my best to track my food...because if you bite it, you gotta write it. Unfortunately, my willpower waned a bit when I found myself making 300 Better Than Sex Balls/Oreo Truffles** as holiday gifts. Then there were the potato latkes, both mine and the one's from Trader Joe's. Followed by the some fabulous lunches at places like Switch and Windsor. And since I was already indulging a little, I might as well add some soda to the meal. Because nothing tastes better than Coke over ice in a restaurant. There were some dinners out, some dinners in, a few parties, and before I knew it I was sampling a variety of desserts on New Year's Eve. And enjoying some booze. (In my defense, I did spend some time on the treadmill both Friday and today).

Now I am back I the saddle again. I am focused. I know what I have to do. Which is why I have no shame in admitting that I would LOVE a Mtn. Dew right now. And a burger. And maybe a pizookie (http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/08/how-to-make-a-pizookie-or-a-pizza-cookie-recipe.html).




** Thanks to my colleague Maureen, I know that each Sex Ball has 124 calories. And one batch of Sex Balls is the equivalent of 176 WW points, or 7 points per serving (two balls). Sigh. Calculating that was time well spent.
