So I have been trying to lose weight. For the record, I am down about 35 pounds. Go me. Since the beginning of the year, I have started running again and I have been really enjoying it. When I exercise, I also feel like eating better, which helps me want to exercise more. It is a nice, cyclical process. But to the contrary, when I eat badly, I don't feel like exercising, and the next thing you know, I am back to just being large and out of shape. It is a constant battle. If only I could eat badly and exercise. Or maybe just be skinny. yeah...
So every now and then, I surprise Alex by showing up during his lunch and I take him out to eat wherever he wants to go. It is a fun, little date we enjoy where we get to talk man to man. He tells me about his friends, his school work, BYU sports, certain girls that are catching his eye, who we want to win Idol (go David A.!), along with many other things. It is great fun. On Thursday, we shared such an experience.
There is just one problem.
He always chooses the one restaurant where I have no control. The diet goes right out the window. All will power which I possess regarding eating healthy is sucked from my very being. I have no control...
The Training Table.
This is my diet kryptonite. If you go there, just order #16 (bleu bacon burger), combo meal, no tomato, cheese fries, Diet Coke, dipping sauce, and a side of bleu cheese dressing.
You will be very happy... but your diet won't share the euphoria.
I am a sucker for Training Table too- but my weakness in the Ranch Burger, along with the cheese fries. Good thing I live to far away from one to be tempted too often!
Oh Training Table dipping sauce..how I miss you..oh how much I now want to order cheese fries.. oh dipping sauce....can't blame you, Matt, you are not human if you can resist! Besides, it is all in the name of family bonding time!
Ah, memories..... I know your order down to a T. hahaha :) Oh by the way, I think they have a bleu bacon lettuce wrap now. But nothing compares to the cheese fries, I must admit. I also have no control there!
