My friend at work, (yes, still my friend after this) asked yesterday what kind of bagel and cream cheese spread everyone wanted from Panera’s this morning. I thanked her, but declined. So, she brought me a spinach and egg mini quiche thinking that would be a good alternative. I do eat eggs and spinach so it should be a no brainer, right? It looked beautiful and I took one bite and was OMG!!!! This is SSOOO good. I noticed the beautiful crust was folded over the top of the quiche. It was golden brown, rich and flakey and……BUTTERY! Looking WAY too good to be healthy. I decided to check the nutrition numbers on Myfitnesspal before I took a second bite. That sucker had 540 calories and 39 carbs!!!!! I ate the inside only and almost cried when I had to send the crust to the garbage…………… I forced my hand to let it fall in! lol Dang…that was so hard to just throw away. But, I couldn’t do it to myself! She then offered me some orange juice. I said, it's full of sugars and carbs that I can't afford to take in. She looked kind of strangely at me saying "but it's healthy"!!! I reminded her that when diabetics are having low blood sugar they say to give them orange juice for the sugar...duh! lol
Just when I cleared this hurdle, they just this second brought around a list for a snibble day on Friday the 13th (any reason to celebrate and eat). The list has cheesecake, desserts, pies, cookies....you name it on it. I signed up for cheese and veggie tray.....at least I can eat that! lol We can't forget that these are the same people who bring in Dunkin Doughnuts or Krispy Kreme by the dozens just to have them here!!!!! Ah......this journey is an obstacle course each day! Happy losing!!!!
