There Goes the Ice Cream

Tapering for me = one less day of running a week.  My response?  I polished off two pints of gelato in the last 5 days or so.  I hardly ever have ice cream at home and especially not in the winter (it makes me cold!). 

But last week, I felt the need to get some caramel gelato.  And when I got to the store, I encountered the choice of Sea Salt Caramel or Caramel Cookie Crunch.  How could I choose?  

And now they are gone :(

Now, I am fine with ice cream and other treats in moderation.  I usually eat a well-balanced diet and I never feel guilty about splurging.  I also never weigh myself.  I cannot say for sure, but I am beginning to understand why people tend to gain weight during the taper.

And I am only sad that I have no more ice cream in the house!
