"SIGH" three words people...Frozen Mango Margaritas. Doesn't it just say it all? As I hang my head and shame and admit I had TWO of these lovely concoctions, all I can say is that as I was sucking them down quicker than (insert prostitute reference here). As much as I can recollect, I was by the pool, with my family, not touching the nachos and corn chip dip. I had just come out of the pool and wrapped a towel around me when my brother in law who used to bartend in college, brings over this gorgeous, orange, frothy so cold that its steaming, drink. I stared at it willing away the sugar (which not only was IN the drink but around the edges)but the alcohol as well. It was best not to ask if it was sugar free...My hand started to shake and I got a bead of sweat above my upper lip. I'M SWEATING ABOVE MY UPPER LIP FOR GODS SAKE!! I know its not the heat. Right then and there I knew worlds were colliding between good and evil. I looked around guiltily wondering if anyone knew what heaven and hell I was in. I played it cool and took my first sip. I haven't had sugar in almost 4 weeks and after taking my first sip, I swooned. I actually swooned. Who swoones these days? I'm not some Victorian woman who just had the vapors...for goodness sake. I even licked the sides of the glass like some dog in order to scrap off the sugar edge. It wasn't pretty and I'm not proud of this. Anyway, the rest of the day was a blur. I clutched the drink and I thought if anyone tries to take this away they will have a wet, bathing suited little person to deal with...yes sir...I didn't even talk much...just sat there enjoying every swig, every brain freeze and every sugar rush. It was the best drink I've ever had and I'm glad I had it.
We then moved onto dinner and I did the salad so that was SB friendly and my sis did the veggies and THAT was SB friendly...but there were ribs and I only had three (the BBQ sauce has sugar and I know thats not good, but after the FMM who cares..). They had a gelato ice cream cake and I just had the chocolate part. Well, the top layer was strawberry and the bottom portion was chocolate...so technically I didn't eat it all. I just wanted to rub my face in it...sigh...
Anyway, I paid the price the next day and I gained a pound. Dear lord, how can two very large FMM and a bottom of a gelato cake be THAT bad...to gain a whole pound??? They are so liquidy...its doesn't seem fair!
Don't worry dear friends, I went back on the diet on Sunday and I've been back from the dark side ever since. I don't think I ever want to go back to that purple haze of Frozen Mango Margarita land...its just too costly...but oh so delicious.

Oh wow...frozen mango margaritas?! I heard they have no sugar, no carbs...you're okay. ;) At least you only had 2 drinks- I had 7! You're brave, though. I haven't stepped on the scale to find out homw much my drunken festivities had cost me. I think we're doing good- we realized our bad deeds from the weekend and we're moving on! Back to SB!

A pound is no biggie, you can bounce back from that no sweat! You should pat yourself on the back for the things you didn't eat. You could have really just gone hog wild, but you indulged in moderation. What fun is life if you cannot indulge yourself, just a little...
Good luck at banishing that pesky extra pound this week!!!

OHHHHH Lori,
That sounds sooo good, I know where you are coming from. I also had alcohol this weekend, and if that FMM was put in front of me...I also would have had it. I actually found Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade that is low carb/low calorie. I know its not low enough, but I thought, hey, I guess if i'm going to drink, might TRY to be good. only 6g of carbs and 98 calories, for a beer, that's pretty good. I also had a sliver of a fudge brownie cheesecake. I did gain that pound back, but hopefully over the next couple of days, it will come back off. Don't get discouraged!!

I'm the same way! You can work off that pound though, no worries. If anyone came around with all that is a glorious MUDSLIDE, I would have succumbed without a second though. LOL.
