The McDonald's across the street is taunting me from my office. Does it have to be St Patty's Shamrock Shake time?

    I tried the Shamrock Shakes at McDonald's before I started MFP and I gotta say I didn't like it as much.

    Maybe a bad batch or since growing up I've grown out of them.

    If you can stay below your calories for the day then I say do it.

    Sounds good. What's in it? Irish Cream, Irish Whisky, Ice cream?

    Green milkshake,,, pistachio.

    God-awful rich and creamy. Pretty good if you like pistachios (which I do). I'll probably have a small one as a treat.

    I walked the mall (5 laps, 4 miles) on Friday so that I could have my small Shamrock Shake. It has to be a planned event for me. I LOVE them, and although I would love to have them year round, I love that they are only available for a short time. It makes it special. I think that I am going to do the same thing tomorrow. Mall walking, then a shamrock shake. :)

    You have to let yourself enjoy food sometimes. You'll burn out if you don't. Just be careful :)
