So I was feeling really off this afternoon....bad headache, tired, just crappy overall and I couldn't figure out why. Slept well last night, great workout this morning, ate well so far today....steak and salad for both meals, protein coffee x 2, even threw in a couple of cookies to see if that would help, had nap. No go.
So I go pick my daughter up from gymnastics thinking, "I really don't feel like making dinner." Very odd considering I was planning on grilling pork tenderloin and having apple coleslaw which I love. We are driving home and all of a sudden I think, "ICE CREAM" so I begin to drive erratically....like a woman possessed....maybe this is an exaggeration of the real driving taking place......to the nearest McD's (yes I like the soft serve). My daughter is ecstatic that we are eating ice cream BEFORE dinner. 2 kids cones in cups please.
Off we go....me with my cup in one hand while driving and eating (my daughter asked me if that counted as distracted driving, I said no lol). So we pull up to a light and my ice cream is nearly gone and she says, "Mom, you're really noisy up there!" and I'm all "Yeah, I'm eating fast....this ice cream is so good and my headache is going away!" to which she replies....
"I guess if you have a headache all you have to do is eat ice cream and it will go away!"
Winning!
That's my story. I thought if anyone would understand and agree it would be the people here in ETP.....and probably Sara most of all :laugh:

I knew there was a reason I was compelled to tell this story in this group :flowerforyou:
I would also like to add that since eating all the ice cream I have also devoured a batch of pancakes.....not even whole wheat.....and low and behold I'm not even tired anymore!
And THAT is the magic of carbs :laugh:0 -

Just been back to look at the carbs in the Froyo I had as a "treat" yesterday evening. Holy hell, that's a lot of sugary carbs. No wonder I couldn't sleep... Just have to hope today's wholewheat pasta is slower release (I know it should,be!).0

I fall asleep pretty much straight after my nightly ice cream. I don't think I get the whole sugar rush thing some people get.0 -
Well I am late to the party but I am here to add:
Yay, ice cream!!!0 -
Ice cream should definitely be one of the food groups. Soft ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, ice cream with whipped cream, ice cream cones, mint ice cream, peanut butter ice cream ....0
