Is it worth it?
You know if I eat something I shouldn't be eating you best to believe I thought long and hard about it before it went in my mouth. I always ask myself, "Is it worth it?" To bust out of my calorie safety zone those calories better be super worth it for my taste buds. Like my yummy peanut butter, or the ocassional fries or slice of birthday cake. I know those are my favorites so if I have a treat it is usually something I love. Well today I was reading my newest edition of the Washingtonian magazine of which I am a loyal subscriber. I know they almost always hit a home run with me regarding their recommendations for "best of" when it comes to places to eat. Well this month was the second month in a row that they were raving about a place called KBQ and how great their ribs are. Well it just so happens this place is in the same strip mall where I go to the gym. I know it well because I told my hubby how much I love the smell of the place when I come out of the gym on a crisp winter night. For some reason I don't smell it in the warm months I think the cold has something to do with it. Weird, I know. Anyway since I have been going to this gym for over two years I have never had the urge to actually eat anything from this place even though I love the smell which seemed to be satisfying enough for me...until today. I asked a co-worker if he had ever tried their ribs because he lives in the area too and he said they were good but not great. I figured well thats just one person I want to know what the hype is about. So as I sit here burping up ribs as I am typing I can assure you those ribs were not worth me getting side-tracked. Yeah they were good but like he said not great. That's what I'm looking for if I stray I need great! Just something to keep in mind when you are reaching for something you really shouldn't be reaching for. I know I'll stick to my montra and ask myself "Is it worth it?"

LOL! Are you peeping through my window or what? I too had a moment on yesterday with those blasted ghirardelli chocolate candies after returning home from my body combat class at the gym...I kept looking at those chocolates, looking away and looking at them again and thought, if I'm going to cheat it is going to be delicioso so, yes I had both the ghirardelli peanut butter and caramel "MY FAVORITE" candies and it was OH SO GOOD AND WORTH IT...I always hear my girlfriend Princess and my cousin fatt2fab ringing in my ear "YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GAIN THOSE 62 lbs BACK IF YOU HAVE A PIECE OF CHOCOLATE" too funny! That's my confession and I'll be back in the gym tomorrow and Saturdday for spin class. Happy 4th all Fatt2fab Bloggers!! Sincerely, 6' & Sexy :o)
