{Treats} by Betsy

As I sit here and wait and wait and wait and wait for my weekend to actually begin, I thought I would share some thoughts with my loyal blog readers (which I’m almost certain is really only only one reader, who is actually my brother… so, so sad).

I digress.

I’ve been thinking about how much food I actually pump into my system each day.  And I’m not too thrilled at the thought of it!  Today I ate one of those high fiber breakfast bars that supposed to keep you from getting hungry, but by 9:30 I thought I would die of starvation.  Guess fiber doesn’t do the trick for me.  At about 9:45 I ate (wait for it…) a piece of chocolate bundt cake.  I’m not proud of it and if any of you tells my son I had cake for breakfast we will not be friends anymore.  Next I had a huge cup of coffee with cream and sugar.  That lasted me until I walked into McFreakinDonald’s at about noon.  Double Cheeseburger and Fries, cue the Hallelujah Chorus.  I love it.  I know it’s horrible for you, but I L-O-V-E love McDonald’s.  There’s just something about those fries… I don’t know what they do to them, but they are amazing.  After the McD’s, I had a Diet Coke, but no more food, that I remember.  I eyed some cookies at work, but didn’t have any.  Score one for me!  I’m home now and haven’t eaten anything, but that’s probably because there’s nothing here to eat.

I say all of this to say this:  I’m going on a Plant Protein Detox next week.  For the next week, my husband and I will have a Plant Protein Smoothie for breakfast and lunch and lean protein and vegetable for lunch.  I’m not looking forward to it one tiny little bit.  I love food.  I love to eat.  Who drinks meals?  I’m confused by the whole thing, but I’m committed ($18 worth of plant protein powder committed, to be exact).  I could do anything for two weeks.  I lived through 14 years with Jay Thornton when we did NOT get along, to say the least.  I can do this.  I’ll keep you posted.

For those of you who are not drinking your meals for the next two weeks, I am still making Treats!  I will hate you a little, but I will still make them for you!

Much Love

Betsy
