Here's the Skinny

Okay. One holiday down and one to go. What is so daunting about that? A mere two days out of 365. Well, as we all know, those two days stretches from the 20 something of November through December to January 1--every year. The problem is, we eat--more than usual for six-weeks straight. Like most Americans I over indulged on November 26. If I am honest, I will admit that I started sampling the week before. That's the problem with getting an early start on the cooking--you also get an early start on the eating.

Okay,  so this is what I ate:

Two slices of slap yo' momma cheese cake
Two slices of if yo' butt don't spread, the cook didn't follow the recipe--pound cake
Half of a mint chocolate chip, chocolate-chocolate chip, Oreo crust ice cream pie
 (of course the ice was from Honey Hut!), and
A slice of sweet potato pie.

Now here is the game plan. If I run on the treadmill and burn 350 calories each session, and do not consume any more calories than absolutely necessary to keep from lapsing into a coma from a low blood sugar level, I should--theoretically--be able to burn those calories off in less than two weeks.

So, I am off to the basement for session one.

Ciao, Bella!  Merry Christmas!

This is definitely, okay.
(Okay, there was lemon custard that accompanied the pound cake!)
