The View from the Classroom

I seriously need to update my favorite cheat foods…add ice cream.  I’ve always loved ice cream, but before this past week I could have it in the house and not really be tempted.  What’s up with that?

It started Friday night after my pitiful finish in the novice class…wanted ice cream…Ben & Jerry’s just down the street from the hotel…hubby and daughter so willing to go get me some.  Brought be back a scoop of "Half-Baked"…chunks of fudge brownies and nuts…yum-o!!

Then, Saturday night after a wonderful meal at Landry’s…Ben & Jerry’s closed, but not to fear, Baskin Robbins also just down the street was still open…nutty coconut or something like that was on the agenda and it was a two-scoop night…almonds and walnuts and toasted coconut…double yum-o!!

And it didn’t stop there!  Bahamaman’s blog entitled "Skinny Jeans and Blizzards" had me craving a DQ blizzard and since we don’t have a DQ close, had to stop on the drive home just for that.  Reese’s Peanut Butter Blizzard and I’m proud to say that I stuck with the small though I thought long and hard about the medium…pure HEAVEN is what it was!!

Ice cream three days in a row…wow…long, long time since I did that.  And you know what?  It didn’t stop there!

Of course, I had to make a trip to the grocery store upon returning home and my daughter (definitely her mother’s daughter) says "If they have any good ice cream, will you get some?"  Like there exists on this planet some "bad" ice cream!!  I wasn’t even gonna venture down that aisle, but ya know she really wanted some.  I headed straight for the Ben & Jerry’s section.  Decisions, decisions.  Went with the "Mint Chocolate" and "Peanut Butter Chunk". 

I think that was on Tuesday.  I polished off the pint of Peanut Butter Chunk yesterday and the Mint Chocolate will be history today (after a killer cardio session, of course).  I had to tell my daughter that after Saturday, ice cream isn’t coming in this house.  She was really disappointed.  Told me I need to control myself.  Ha!
