Challenges and New Discoveries
Day 5 and I'm alive (and well); especially my sense of smell. Everything cooking smells divine. I opened a can of cat food for the Critter and it smelled doggone good--No, I didn't lick the lid! Ice cream really doesn't have much odor or have you noticed? Crunching while munching is something else that could lure me off this frozen tongue tundra. I'm kinda craving anything crunchy--tying to fend it off with ice cream that has bits and chunks of something to sink your teeth into.
Lunch with Sabateur--well they were supposed to have lunch before I arrived. Upon entering the thershold of temptation, I arrive to the wafting fragrance of fried fish. Fried fish never smelled so divine and they were just taking it up on their plates, all crispy and golden and had opened a bottle of champagne. Thankfully, I had BMOIC (brought my own ice cream) and refused their numerous offers as my Espresso Mocho fortified me through the episode. Note: always make sure you BMOIC if you think food is involved.
Sabateur is also calling extra often to tell me what's on the food channel or what's on their menu--just happens to me by favorites. HMMM--I think I'm going to have to eat ice cream when I'm on the phone with them.
A new great Ice Cream discovery was made yesterday. I stopped by the neighborhood store and checked out their freezer treats. I made a mental note that Dreyers now has pint-sized flavors to rival Ben and Jerry's. Can't quite remember the exact branding, but the word MAXX is the major marketing for their fun flavors, including a version with pieces of Butterfingers; might satisfy those crunch cravings I'm getting. Since I was rather craving something with fruit, I opted for the Ben and Jerry's "Willie Nelson's Countey Peach Cobbler." It's absolutely divine! Peach Ice Cream with (crunchy) bits of cinnamon flavored bits of shortbread and peach swirl. I downed about 3/4 container for dinner. Remember, the weigh in is Tuesday, but who's counting cals. Not me. I just want to stay on track for the next 26 days.
Thanks for dialing in and rolling with me on my frozen feat!

Wow, congrats on making it through the 4th! With apple pie and hot dogs and all day with nothing to do but eat... You have an iron will. Good luck on Sunday (or sundae) and stay strong... don't let the Dark Saboteur drag you down. People who thrive on failure must be stopped!
