Somebody Up There Likes Me

[wintergreen48]

OK, we all know that those Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies have crack cocaine or something in them. And that's OK, so long as Girl Scout Cookie Season is ongoing, and I can keep my jones down.

Well.

Yesterday one of the people I work with brought in a few boxes of GS cookies, and one of those boxes happened to be Thin Mints, and so, being the unselfish sort that I am, I decided to help out the Girl Scouts and I bought that box of Thin Mints. And. I. Ate. The. Whole. Box. (well, I ate the contents of the box, but not the box or the cellophane). Mind, I did not eat all of the cookies at one sitting: I ate one sleeve when I bought the box, and then I ate the other sleeve at lunch (which consisted of one cup of non-fat yogurt and one sleeve of Thin Mints).

Well again.

So I went to the gym for my daily work out, and when I weighed myself at the end... I weighed one pound LESS than I had weighed the day before (when I did NOT eat an entire box of Thin Mints). Now, granted, my workout was something that would have crippled a lesser man, but still: Someone up there must really like me, and Life is Good.

I, on the other hand, spend three days praying to the porcelain god becoming reacquainted with meals long forgotten, and manage to GAIN two pounds. Life is Good, my ass.

LOL! Congrats!! They do say that sometimes it helps to fluctuate calories. They don't usually recommend boxes of thin mints...but my trainer used to vary my calories, he said high calorie spike days every now and then make your body try to work harder to burn stuff or whatever. I don't know, it was all blah, blah, blah you can eat more blah blah blah. So I remember the important part, obviously!
