Hey everyone- isn’t it a beautiful day out today? I am posting here and then I am heading outside to enjoy the sun, great weather and fresh air.
Course it won’t be for fun and games. There is lots of yard work and gardening to get done right now but I try to see the positive side of it all. Lots of fresh air and moving around (ie: exercise) will help me to burn off all the calories I had last night.
Was someone trying to tell me something or what? I decided that since it was hot out that it had been a long time since we had had ice cream and it sounded good.
So, we get a box of ice cream sandwiches. My son and I each have one while in the parking lot of the grocery store as it is so hot out and something cold sounds so refreshing. We figure on having the rest in the freezer to enjoy over the coming weeks of hot weather.
Little did we know that disaster was about to strike :0(
So, we get home and go to put away the ice cream sandwiches and discover, to our horror, that the freezer has quit working.
Now, this is awful as we had the chest freezer nearly
full in our efforts of stocking up for emergencies.
All of our meats, fruits, vegetables, etc. have thawed and spoiled as from the smell when we opened the door of the freezer the dang thing quit a couple of days ago- probably right after we got in there the other day.
So, not only do we have literally hundreds of dollars worth of food spoiled that we REALLY could not afford to lose- BUT we have this whole box of ice cream sandwiches that are getting softer by the minute. It’s too late to call friends and have them over so what’s a girl to do?
Yep, you guessed it- we ate the WHOLE BOX OF ICE CREAM SANDWICHES!!!
Now for someone who recently lost a lot of weight this could be a disaster as big, or bigger, than losing hundreds of dollars worth of food.
But, in my effort to try to look at the positive side of things (though I STILL haven’t seen the positive side of losing all of that food we had stocked up on) I must say that eating that many ice cream sandwiches has definitely changed the way that I feel about ice cream sandwiches.
Right now I am not sure if I will EVER enjoy eating one of them again. So, maybe that will stop me from buying them for a long time. If that doesn’t- not having a working freezer should.
So, I am now in the market for a low cost, used, freezer that runs GOOD- if you live in the thumb of Michigan and have one then please let me know.
I have also decided that maybe we will stick more with dehydrating and canning from now on. STILL, a freezer is nice for some foods and for things like ice, ice cream ice cream sandwiches….. just kidding :0)lol
Anyway, with all of the yard work that needs to be done I am not even going to worry about gaining weight from that binge last night.
I will drink LOTS of water and eat some fresh veggies.
Just a reminder: you can get my free e-book about how to easily lose weight- just look below for all of the details.
BTW, a word of advice ALWAYS make sure that your freezer is working before buying ice cream
Now I am off to try to burn a zillion calories :0)lol
