210 flipping calories!

Options
Okay it was my son's birthday yesterday, and I totally forgot to make something for him to take to school for his class (small town, 20 kids in his class so they all take treats, not sure if they do that in big schools). So I ran over to Subway and had them make a tray of 2 dozen cookies. Well not all the kids were there and he had left over cookies and I just couldn't resist. So then I get on here and look it up and one cookie is 210 flipping calories. That's just nuts. I ate lunch with him also to day so now I only have something like 300 calories to make it through the rest of the day. Why are those soft chewy cookies so hard to resist?

    I used to work there. Those things are as good uncooked as they are cooked. Yummy. Must now stay away from Subway for the next week or so now that my mouth is watering.

    I always say special days get special calories that I don't have to feel bad about - it was my son's first birthday this week and we had the big party. I ate all sorts of stuff and gave myself permission to have anything I thought I really wanted...did I go over my cals that day, SURE DID, did it derail my week? Nope, still lost and I didn't beat myself up. You just can't have "special days" every day! So YUMMMMM birthday subway cookie! I'm glad you had it and now it's over (but no going back to subway this week!!!)

    Yeah this are my favorite. That's why I got him the M&M ones, because I thought I could pass those up. I don't really care for M&M's in my cookies, but there was one in there with out very many in it and I fell.

    I would have like to just exercise last night to burn it off, but there was just no time for it. My husband is the president of the Nebraska Teachers of Math *kitten*. and he was gone so I had to do all the chores and feed the kids and study with them. Plus I had bought a new colt Sunday and I had to mess with him a little because he's kind of wild. So I at Grapefruit and carrots for supper. But I would do it again for a Macdamia nut cookie.:bigsmile:
