Since I've been so "good" about diet & exercise this year I decided at the last minute to "indulge" a bit last night. I had 1 chocolate chip cookie, 1 scoop of full-fat (ie - not "lite") cookies 'n cream ice cream and 1 tablespoon of store-brand prepackaged vanilla cake icing (mmmmmm, hydrogenated soybean oil, mmmmmmmmarrrrhhh!)

I think licking icing off the spoon was clearly the most "decadent" of the three treats. It certainly was the "greasiest" or "fattiest" or whatever, accoding to nutritional info posted on the package.

So today I'm being good for Ash Wednesday and doing a fast - I think the first time I ever really did it purposefully in my life. Supposedly once in a while a fast can be "cleansing" if you do it right (avoid dehydration by taking in water, juice, etc.) Its also good timing as I need to force more water anyway to get rid of this nagging cold.
