Fried and Gone to Heaven

This weekend, I saw a sign above a food stand on the Ocean City boardwalk that read, "Fried and Gone to Heaven".  Instantly, I knew that I was going to have to work that into my blog somehow.   Now, I am not saying that my excuse for eating fried oreo's and buffalo wings is my blog but... it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining if I didn't have a good "survival story" or at the very least been able to legitimately work in the title.  Right?  Yea, Xavy wasn't buying that either.  BUT!!!  In my defense, he was not exactly the enforcer in this story as much as the enabler. That is the way that I am gonna tell it.

With Xavy being 12 weeks out from his own competition, this was the last weekend to go all out and get some of those cravings under his belt.  Starting today... his plan just got insane.  No cheats, no extra's, no substitutions.  It's on!   

What good is a client if they can't give you the inside scoop on where all the best(worst) food is in the state? First stop... coconut muffins from Harpoon Hanna's. In my defense, I only know of that place from when Kelly took me. (See, another enabling personal trainer. Lol.). Next on the list we hit the boardwalk for some fried oreo's. If you are concerned that I am completely slaughtering my own diet plan, think again. Xavy apparently decided that when "splitting" an order, the ratio was 1 to 5. I did manage to steal another half of a cookie and not lose my fingers. I say all in all, we were off to a good start. I washed it all down with a nice cold Diet Coke. It actually took me a few hours to drink it. A year ago I could have finished it in 15 minutes but these days, my body just does not know how to handle soda like it used to. I tried to introduce him to Thrasher's Fries but he had to draw the line there. Instead, we hit Fischers Popcorn. For dinner-ish, we polished off a huge tray of buffalo wings and curly fries at Hooters. I will admit, I didn't have the courage to go all out. I ordered the naked wings. Some how, some way...I'm thinking that after all of the rest, that actually made a difference. And the icing on the cake, (I wish I did have icing.)...Seacrets. Either of us are big drinkers and we had a long drive ahead of us but still... when 1 drink is was more then either of our plans allow.

Today, it was rough getting back on plan. I know what I have to do, I just don't wanna. I had a taste of some of all that yummy stuff and now I don't want to start all over with saying no. Ya know, I never believed it before but I can always feel how after a cheat, my body struggles with cravings. Maybe, just maybe, the scientists were right all along. Sugar does have addictive properties. Crazy, huh?

So far, so good. I had 2 gumballs (oops) but I will chalk that up to needing to ease back info this. By tomorrow, I will be A-Okay! As for Xavy, sounds like he's been on plan all day and off to a great start. Shortly I will get details about his show. I think we can get together a pretty good little fan club for him. Welp- off to the gym!
