Out of Control Fatroll

Hi Fatroll followers!  I apologize for being MIA for basically the entire month of November.  I promise to be more on top of reporting to you all of my Wins and Fails for December…and I’m sure there will be many.

The past week and a half has been a whirlwind for me.  Last weekend I went to NYC for the first time, got back for three days and then left to spend the extended holiday weekend with my family.  Between the amazing food in NYC and all that Thanksgiving entails, there are so many fails I can only list them for you.

NYC Fails:  Beer, wine, pizza, bagels, turkey sandwich the size of my head, cheesecake, calamari and gnocchi in Little Italy, pumpkin rice pudding…and the grand prize for fat fails…the sundae I had at Serendipity (see pic below).  This was my first meal in NYC and it was worth e-v-e-r-y single fatroll calorie.  Not even an ounce of regret for this one.  I’m actually salivating just looking at the picture…

Thanksgiving Fails:  Chips and avocado sauce (better than hot sauce), gorilla bread, reese’s candy (not the PB cups…my Stepmom makes this), turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, green bean casserole, cornbread casserole, cheesy squash (we manage to make squash taste like cheese and not squash), rolls, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, cherry parfait, pumpkin muffin, pancakes, breadsticks, and last but not least…wine!

Every event planned while I was home for Thanksgiving centered around food.  Aside from Thanksgiving Day, we ate out every meal.  My family hearts food!

On top of all these delicious fails, I didn’t work out from the day I left for NYC until this past Saturday when I returned to Austin.  I haven’t gone a week and a half without exercise since we started blogging back in June!  It was rough when I made it back onto a treadmill on Sunday.  It’s amazing how much it hurts to run after only a week and a half long hiatus!  Of course, all of the food I consumed could be what slowed me down…

It’s tough going back to WW points after stretching out my stomach with the above goodness.  This is definitely the hardest part coming off of a trip or holiday…retraining your body to return to normalcy.

So I’m back on the wagon and putting my wonderfully delicious November behind me.  While I expect a 5 lb gain on the scale this week, I’m already making the moves to hopefully counteract all of the good times and fails for next week!

BEST DESSERT EVER!!!

Mmmmm wine!

Pumpkin rice pudding!  This place was in the movie Hitch.
