...But I'd like to! How dare they create ice cream called Triple Chocolate when I've decided that I'm getting love handles and it's time  to finally get in shape! Have you tried it? Don't! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I enjoy ice cream, but there's none that I rave about, except for the Breyer's brand in general. Then I discovered Triple Chocolate. Now I admit that it's not just the ice cream. I am a big sugar hound. I love to eat healthy, really healthy, but then I go on these spurts where I also love cookies and cake and ice cream and Texas Longhorns that hubby brings back from travel. Needless to say, it's all catching up with me -- right around the middle. Blech! I've always been pretty thin and have had a high metabolism. And by most people's standards, I'm still pretty thin. However, I'm still nursing a baby and I swear I've put on 10 pounds this last month! I feel like that scene in "The Santa Clause" where he tells his doctor "You call this a little weight?! I've gained 45 pounds in a week!" and he smacks his stomach. (And no, I'm not pregnant. :) )

Well, I have to say that as much as I'd like to find some thing to blame it on, I can't. It's me and my own lack of self control. I need to get my Power90 DVD out and drag my unfirm keister out of bed and start burning off the "goo". Much, much easier said than done. Since I've finally found that precious time in the morning with the Lord, I don't want to lose that. I guess I'll have to get up even earlier. Sigh. I'm already tired, but I don't want to be tired and out of shape. I guess I'll have to save the Triple Chocolate for a sometimes food and stick to the healthy as much as I can. Another sigh. This is the only thing I miss about high school. Ha!
