The brownie just called to me!

So anyway, we went to Lahaska to shop today. Anyone in Eastern Pa knows what a great place this is to shop and I think most of them were there today! It turned out to be their Strawberry Festival. We ate at a nice restaurant (Jenny's) and I was good and ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad (even left the croutons on the side!). But then the waiter brought around the dessert tray... I am such a sucker for chocolate. The brownie was covered w/ caramel and marshmellows! Then they nuked it and added ice cream, fudge sauce and whip cream... And unlike Mandy and her birthday cake, I think I could have licked the bowl if I was home!!! I was punished though, it did make me sick! (I had my gallbladder remove last year and have had problems ever since, and now know the culprit, cause I've been fine for 4 days. I have to remember what the rich carbs do to my body and make myself stay away) So tomorrow it's back to the program!
Sorry to babble! Probably more info than anyone wanted to hear! :-) Thanks for listening!

Hi Lee Anne,
You learned a lesson the hard way.
I travel quite a lot in my job and will leave Monday for a week long business trip......
Well...since I didn't want to wreck what good I've done this week (it's really just been 6 days) I went to the grocery to get a few things I could take with me! I got some nuts that I pre-packaged in little ziplocks. I stocked up on string cheese and I got some sugar-free peanut butter....but I'm not sure exactly what I will eat that with...
The good news is that I stay in the same hotel almost everytime I'm on a business trip and they have a full kitchen. Plus they provide breakfast in the morning, which includes old fashion oatmeal... I can't have that this coming week but in Phase II I can.
My problem is that lunch is "provided" each day and it's not the best choices. On Friday, they always serve pizza...just pizza...so maybe I'll get a Chicken Salad the night before, and take it to the office with me for Friday's lunch....? I'll let everyone know how this works out...
Thank God for the Riccotta Creme! The chocolate one just is the best for me and my chocolate obsession! LOL!
I think having a plan to face that pizza is a great idea. I walked in to Jenny's with a plan to order a salad. And that's what I did... too bad I didn't plan on the temptations at dessert! Oh Well, I can't obsess over it. It's done, move on.

Good luck!
