I have a confession to make....

I had ice cream 3 times while on my vacation. My hubby and children were making me feel like a weirdo cuz I didn't want to have any, but I actually did want some since it was chocolate so it was my decision and vacation. First, we went to a creamery and I almost felt sick since the ice cream was very heavy on my stomach.Bad choice there. Off to Busch Gardens and had the ice cream there and pizza once at Ledo's. Chocolate covered Almond cluster (just one) so that is why I need to do three workouts today. LOL!
Gotta go now and do KPC...vacation is over until next year! No more ice cream until next summer. Pizza once every 2 months.

I had ice cream, too! Cold Stone Creamery...with peanut buter, oreos, nuts and other goodies mixed in. It was gooooood! I also had pizza Friday night. Have have figured out that if I eat my usual salad first, I don't want nearly as much pizza!

Can't be perfect ALL the time! Where's the fun in that??? You can still be fit, thin and healthy and eat the ice cream and pizza...you just can't eat it every day like those people waddling in front of you at Busch Gardens!!!LOL!!!!!
 
Oh my gosh, Sarah!!! LOL! That is where I went for ice cream...Cold Stone Creamery, but it didn't agree with me....too heavy, but enjoy the banana split waffle cone at Busch Gardens after trying to get thru the crowd of some waddling people with their ice cream! LOL!

Funny story....DH and I were visually sizing up the different cups to decide which size we wanted. All three looked pretty small...wouldn't hold much ice cream. They had cute little namess for "small", "medium" and "large". Since the cups looked so small, we both ordered the "large". So, DH goes to order for all of us and I take the kids outside to sit down with their ice cream. My DH comes out with mine and I fell off my chair!!!! They take that little tiny cup and fill it with a towering waffle cone and pack it so high with ice cream!!!! We both had AT LEAST 5 times as much ice cream that we were expecting!!! I literally shreeked! I (seriously) heard the little girl at the next table say "What's wrong with her mommy...what did she want" and her mom said "I think she wanted something smaller, honey".LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Uh......YEAH! Next time I'll order off the kids menu!!!!
 
Well I am not sorry I had pizza and cotton candy and stuff on vacation in branson mo. We were there for a week and I ate stuff I don't normally eat, but it was vacation....
I gained 8 lbs, but have lost 6 of it with 2 lbs to go... mostly from the salt in the foods...... the fact that I didn't drink enough water for a few of those days.... but I had fun:7 ....Rhonda:7
 
It's all good!! I think it's good to treat yourself every once in a while....makes it easier to stay on track when you allow yourself to splurge every now and then.

I am with you, Rhonda! I ate some brownies on Sunday night, and I feel like I earned it :). I haven't eaten junk food in sooooooo long and I work out hard! I think we deserve to treat our taste buds every now and again! And like Sarah said, what is the point in being perfect ALL the time? You gotta let your hair down sometimes.:p

If anyone deserves ice cream and pizza, it is you, Charlotte. You work hard and eat well, which I know is more challenging than working out. Eat and be merry!

Hi Guys!

About 2 weeks ago I had myself a big bowl of Extreme Peanut Brittle ice cream after not having sweets for about 3 weeks. I got 1/2 way done and threw it up!! Think that was my body's way of telling me it doesn't want ice cream??
So now if I have any, it's one scoop or just a few spoons of my sons.
They make me feel like a jerk if I don't have any with them either Charlotte. Vacation is next week. Send will power vibes my way girls!

Charlotte, Where did you go for the ice cream at the creamery? I'm going to be in Va for 4-5 days in October. We were gonna go this month but it's too hot right now and I don't think my kids could handle it right now. We're planning on spending a day at Colonial Williamsburg but the rest of the time will be in Ch'ville. All this talk about the Cold Stone creamery is making me drool and I have to try this. LOL

I had ice cream every day in Italy and even ate a half gallon of ice cream in three days. I didn't gain any weight at all...I lost two lbs.

Hey...vacation is a time to lighten up :)
 
At Disney's Blizzard Beach, me and DD shared an ice cream sundae served in a BUCKET complete with all the yummy toppings and whipped cream. It was heaven.

YES! That's what vacation is for, Sabrina! Of course, you don't want to eat too much of the wrong things that you get sick and can't enjoy the rest of your vacation....but there's nothing wrong with splurging now and then!

I too have a confession... I had 2( count them 2) jello pudding cups yesterday! One was regular chocolate and one was oreo.. YUMMY!
I agree, you have to treat yourself every once in a while, as long as you have a grip on it. Everyone works out hard here and are diligent. A little chocolate or what ever your vice is wont hurt! Actually, if you think about it, after indulging , you feel yucky so you really dont end up doing it that often, to avoid that ickey feeling.
 
Well Charlotte I am glad you made this confession. I was starting to think you were super human and NEVER EVER cheated except for your once in awhile pizza. I cannot tell you that this now makes me feel better about myself to know that you and my other hero Sarah indulge once in awhile as well! I now see that more people then I thoght have unclean eating days occasionally. SO Happy to know that. Ok that being said I have a question. How do all of you get past the feeling fat after you do it? When I cheat I instantly feel fat and so I never really enjoy my cheat times. Same thing if I miss a day of exercise I feel fat and beat myself up for taking a rest day. Sometimes I think I need help! :)

IMHO life is just way too short to not eat ice cream occasionally wheather it's vacation or not.:)
 
Well, I work the pizza into my daily calories so while it's a cheat meal, I am not over extending my calories. The ice cream made me feel fat...that's why I RARELY eat it...not worth the bloat...or the zit!LOL!!!

As for feeling fat from skipping a workout...well, there just is no skipping workouts in this house!LOL!! Not up for negotiation!;-) ;-) }( }(
