My Weakness = Girl Scout Caramel DeLite Cookies!

Caramel Delites

I’ve been fiendin’ for these cookies since the first time I had them in years a couple weeks ago! Today as I get off the train, I see the girl scouts standing at their table selling cookies. My boyfriend & I walk to the table and each purchase a box of cookies. These things are ADDICTING! I will eat one and want another one…and then another one…you get my point. My boyfriend opened up his box & I had 3 of them. I can really see myself eating the whole box, but I won’t lol. 3 for today and THAT’S THAT! I swear if I was an addict, this would be my drug. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE SO GOOD?? I think everyone has a food weakness & this is definitely mine. Oh, and it doesn’t help that my boss loves these cookies too and keeps them in the office. To top it off, the Girl Scout Headquarters is next to my job! So I can go there anytime to get cookies!

I went to the gym twice today. During lunch & after work. I did 45 minutes of weights (lower + upper body), ran 2 miles & walked 1 mile. I’m currently working on my push-ups (GOAL: 110) and planks (Wildcats challenge for the week).

I tried counting calories today. I haven’t before because I don’t really know how. I’m still learning. So my final count was about 1350 calories. Not bad even with the GS cookies!

    Pretty good with the calories today! You know what, we still have a box of girlscout cookies in our pantry. And they have been there for atleast 6 months lol. I ate 2 or something when we just got them but fortunately I am not a cookie person at all! (now, homemade Dutch applepie is a WHOLE different story)

    Here Val, some homework for ya! Inform yourself and get answers to questions.. I skimmed through it but its pretty major.

    One thing though.. I DO find it strange that she would recommend something like that after seeing you just once. All the articles say its a surgery done when its proven ppl cant lose the weight themselves with a ‘diet’ or when they have severe life threathning health issues related to obesity.

    I have a very suspicious nature, sorry bout that lol, but I would really ask your doctor how come she doesn’t explore other avenues with you.

    Oh jeez lol… wrong comment. I keep copying and pasting my comments so that when BS eats it, all I have to do is paste it. I though I copied yours but it was still a previous one… So sorry about that lol

    Anyways.. as I was saying.. we still have girl scout cookies in our pantry that have been there for about 6 months. I had 2 I think when we just got them but fortunately I am not a cookie person. (now homemade fresh out of the oven Dutch applepie is a whole different story lol)

    God I love those things too…I bought the slow churned half cal/fat ice cream version of it thinking it was a better choice….NOT IF YOU EAT half the gallon…sheesh! I feel for ya, I say throw them away, turn your head and avoid at all costs!

    Sadly, I did eat a whole box of peanut butter patties in one day. :(

    Now I don’t eat them at all and my daughter is a girl scout!

    I gotta agree with Nancy, the pic of the cookies is making it really hard for me to concentrate on your blog! Those are my favorites too. Luckily I don’t have the easy access to them that you do. I gotta commend you though…only eating three is wonderful! Keep it up and allow yourself that treat every now and then for all the hard work you have been doing. :)
