The Devil...

disclaimer:
This is not my original idea, it was inspired by something I heard on the radio. It is my take on it.

so basically, you diet your but off, you work hard at the gym, you are putting in the miles,you are starting to see results. The morning starts, it's 8:00 am, you have your normal coffee, light sugar no cream, gotta avoid the extra calories. Then you notice that some dude brought in a box of doughnuts. You say to yourself, "I don't need that crap" you've been working hard, making all the right choices. You are proud of your decision to abstain from the sweet stuff

But there they are, like crack, a fresh box of is calling your name. you know you shouldn't do it, but you figure what the frig' you've been working hard. So you fire back a doughnut, and finish off your coffee. Man you are on a sugar rush now, high as a kite, bouncing around the office. You feel more productive than you ever have in your life. Then it hits, the lull after the high. You come crashing to halt. You need a nap, you are slowly but surely grinding to a halt. You need another cup of coffee. It's 9:00 am

So you freshin' up the joe, and there they are the doughnuts. Still fresh, still sweet still easy to do. you say to yourself, damn, I had one, what's a second gonna hurt? So you take your fresh coffee, and you fire back another doughnut and it goes down even faster than the first. Bam, you are instantly up again, you are on fire, you like the feeling and say what the hell, I'm going for broke, a third, and maybe even a fourth. They are so tasty and sweet. You are a machine, moving at 100 miles an hour, emails are all clear, orders processed. Can anyone stop you? how can something that gives you so much energy be bad. it's 10:00am

finally, you sit at your desk. Everything has passed. The sugar high, gone, you are grinding so slowly that no amount of coffee in the world can bring you back to level. You feel like you've been on a weekend bender with the folks that make the girls gone wild videos. what will your parents think? You think about your tally, 6 doughnuts, 4 cups of coffee, that has to be like a million calories. It's quarter 'till 11:00. Your day is shot dude. Might as well take a halfer...

Doughnuts are evil.

"Pure evil" is the truth. Me and the guys at Holmes' Cycling in Harrisburg had some dropped off for us on Tuesday. At first I tried the "i'll just take one bite and put it down" approach. You know the drill, if you nibble here and there maybe somehow some calories get lost. Wishful thinking. Donuts can't be taken lightly. Very powerful little nuggets of joy. dk

Gone are the days when free donuts were considered manna from heaven. I used to be able to put away a dozen and walk away guilt free. Satan runs Krispy Kreme.

Man,

I "almost" fell into the soda kick this morning. I was feeling tired, just a little pepsi would have brought me around, then some sugar to go with it, maybe a donut or maybe a danish.

Lucky for me, I had neither. Granola cereal w/milk and some water brought me around.

It is a vicious cycle.

How did you know the story of my life?

Going to the teacher's lounge to use the bathroom is like running the gaunlet. Damn can those English teachers bake.

Then there are the "spirit bags" the kids make for each other on game days. These nicely decorated bags hold roughly five pounds of candy. Good candy. Great candy. Gummi candy, chocolates, carmels, sour things, sweet things, chewy things, crispy things. And God Bless the Children--they love to share with their teachers.

It's hell. And I like it.

Since I have been unable to ride for the last six weeks, I have found a way to eat these little rings of joy without turning into a blimp. It's a little disgusting so I don't recommend doing it in public but you take a few good size bites, chew it and savor the cornucopia of fat and sugar, then spit it out without swallowing anything.
