The Dark Side

    
I took a trip to the DARK SIDE last night and it was INCREDIBLE.  I wasn't sure if I'd even come back.  After a few days of healthy eating, I lost it.   I drank and ate whatever the hell I wanted;  Purple Cowboy Wine, Dreyer's Maxx ice cream (Nestle Drumstick Flavor), Makers Mark whiskey and Macaroni and Cheese.  And not the healthy kind of mac and cheese...the nasty fake (but very, very yummy) Velveeta cheese that somehow isn't even sold in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.

The morning wasn't even so bad but once the sun went down, all hell broke loose.  Actually, it was while I was grilling my healthy Weight Watchers halibut recipe.  I just waited too long to eat dinner and it was too late.  I was ravenous.  Here's what I did until I turned to the other side...

Breakfast:  1 egg (75) and 1 slice of Trader Joe's French Villaage 100% Stone Ground Whole Grain Bread made with Soy and Flax Seed (100)

Snack: Chinese Tea

Lunch: The Chop Chop Chef Salad (with Tempeh, Veggie Steak, Veggie Chikn, green onions and roasted corn salsa with Chipotle dressing (250) and sweet potato fries (90) from my favorite place, the Veggie Grill

Snack:  Carrots and Roasted Red Pepper Hommus (80)

Dinner:  Halibut Kebobs with Spicy Pepper Sauce (150), a Weight Watchers recipe.  While it was cooking I had a cocktail of diet coke and Maker's Mark (69).  Next up was the left over mac and cheese (335) that I made the kids.  The wine was next.  By the way Purple Cowboy wine (200) is AWESOME (so awesome I had 2 glasses).  I still had the halibut kebobs which were really delicious but not exactly satisfying on a Friday night.  I didn't bother to make it with the brown rice as instructed because I already had my carbs in my mac and cheese.  After the kids went to bed, I opened the freezer to find a half eaten container of Dreyer's Maxx ice cream (320)  It must have been in there for awhile because it was freezer burnt and they actually don't even make it any more.  But I had NO PROBLEM finishing it.  If my math is correct, my visit to the Dark Side cost me about 1,669, which isn't a TERRIBLE amount of calories but it's the amount of carbs and sugar and fat that I'm not too proud of.  I needed to be BAD, I needed to taste the sugar, the fat and all of the things I've been fighting against.  I just can't let those things grab ahold of me, I have to stand my ground and be strong. Wish me LUCK! What's YOUR vice?
