Today’s Run:  Rest Day

I am addicted~~~to Little Debbie Nutty Bars.  I am ashamed to admit this, but it is true.

My husband and I first began eating them after meals to help me with my chocolate cravings when I began losing weight.  It has spiraled out of control.

Little Debbie Nutty Bars are the elixir of life.  If they were a beverage, I would say they are the nectar of the gods.  Ambrosia.  Heavenly food. All of this and more are my Nutty Bars!

After each meal (excluding breakfast) my husband and I split a package of Nutty Bars.  He eats his quickly.  I savor mine.  The dog watches EVERY bite I take.  Drools even.  Sometimes I share, sometimes I make sure he watches me take that very last bite.  I have a mean streak in me, I guess.

BUT…

We ran out of Nutty Bars a week ago!  Oh, NO!!!

I have gone an entire week without a Nutty Bar.  At first I had some serious withdraw issues.  I went through the cupboards…there must be a box in here I did not see.  No box.  Then, I tried to find a substitute.  My husband very graciously “found” a Cadbury dark chocolate bar.  I ate a few squares.  It was good and everything.  It just was not the same.

Tonight, for dinner, we had scrambled eggs.  I ate about half of mine and gave the rest to my “pudgy puppy” Paxton.  My heart just has not been in eating.  I really need to buy some Nutty Bars. They are the perfect ending to a very nice meal.

They really are a nice dessert.  Not too big of a dessert.  Controlled portion size (moderation and all that) and they are healthy!  Protein from the peanut butter and calcium from the milk chocolate.

We will be heading to the store in the next couple of days.  The thing on the tippy top of my shopping list will be…you guessed it, Nutty Bars.  AND we will be buying an extra box.  This week has been H___.    🙂
