My couch cushion is making me fat!

I'm sitting here watching Biggest Loser-couples. I just finished my evening snack. "She's pregnant," you're thinking. "Something good and nutritious for her and the baby," you decide. HA! Well, 2 out of 3's not bad. Pregnant & Good= true, Nutritious= NO WAY!

I LOVE ICE CREAM. Everyone who knows me knows I love it. I eat a bowl of ice cream every night. Not some healthy-fake ice cream, either mind you. I eat Kroger brand vanilla- usually 2-3 scoops (sure, I like the richer stuff, but if you buy that you can't eat as much) with Hershey's syrup, chocolate chips, sprinkles (the round multi-colored balls), and of course a banana to make it healthy.

I didn't realize this was such a problem (well, problem is a rather strong word)- we'll say HABIT, until I sat down to watch my tivo-ed episode of Biggest Loser-couples. Now normally, as I said, I watch the show at night and eat my bowl of ice cream. I always chuckle a little to myself that I eat such an unhealthy snack when I watch such a pro-workout-live-healthy show. Then I dive in head first to my DELICIOUS snack.

Last week, I wasn't able to watch Biggest Loser on Tuesday night, so I watched it Wednesday afternoon. I sat in my fave spot on the couch, clicked on the tube, and not five minutes into the show I started wanting ice cream. REALLY wanting it. What's wrong with me?! I don't eat ice cream in the middle of the day- I eat cookies with milk! (Did I mention I'm not on a diet?) Ice cream is something I eat at night. But I could NOT let go of the idea. My will-power was non-existant to the point that I don't think I even TRIED to resist. I HAD to go have my huge bowl of ice cream. So I did.

That night I sat down in my favorite spot (you guessed it- the couch!) to watch who knows what, and as I sat down my mouth started watering. Hmmm...what could I eat that could curb my craving? Popcorn? no. Orange? Tempting, but no- that's my 10 am snack. Ooooh I know JUST the thing! Starts with an ICE and ends with CREAM! Sad, but true, I had to have it. And so, I've come to the conclusion that my favorite couch cushion may be contributing to some of these pregnancy pounds...I'll have to move over to James' side of the couch, I think....or maybe watch less Biggest Loser...at least during the day....good thing it's finale night!

Speaking of Biggest Loser- can you believe Mark lost by 1 POUND?!! That had to be SUCH a bummer! I bet he's re-thinking not shaving this morning!

I wonder who's going to win..... 15 minutes left of the show! (I had to blog because I didn't let the show get started for long enough before I dove in, and after fast forwarding all the commercials, I've caught up with the show. Bummer.)
