Today’s Run:  Rest Day

Ever since I heard there was such a thing as a Deep Fried Snicker’s Bar, I knew I had to have one!  Forget the calories.  Forget the fat.  I had to have a Deep Fried Snicker’s Bar.

A year ago we took one of my nephews to a Civil War re-enactment.  It was in Quitman, Mississippi.  They said in the promotional for the event that there would be “Fair food” and I saw this as my golden opportunity to try my newly desired treat.

We watched the re-enactment (the South won) and went on our search for sustenance.  We found tons of food but NO Deep Fried Snicker’s Bar!  I was distressed and disappointed.  Oh well…another day.

Next stop was last Summer at the Iowa State Fair.  We were on vacation visiting my in-laws (who are remarkable people BTW) and we decided to spend a day at the Fair.  Guess what!?!  They had them!!!  And I bought one!!!  And…Oh WOW!!!!!  Amazing does not even come close…It was well worth the wait.  But I had a problem…

Oh, don’t get me wrong.  I loved the Deep Fried Snicker’s Bar but now I was on MyFitnessPal.com and I would have to LOG that Snicker’s bar.  Uh-oh.  I didn’t want to admit I ate the entire thing.

I enlisted the help of my husband.  I ate two bites and he bailed me out and ate the rest.  Yes, I did log my two bites, thank you very much.

Was it worth the wait?  Yes.  Was it worth 115 calories for two bites?  The verdict is still out on that.

So imagine my surprise when this past weekend I was staring in the face of another Deep Fried Snicker’s Bar.  Oh man.  I remembered the melty, rich chocolate and the powder sugar and then I remembered 115 calories for TWO BITES.

I only had one bite and my nephew at the rest.  Good for him.  He is a growing boy.
