What would you do for a doughnut?

As I stated in my last entry, I eat clean about 80% of the time.  I want to eat well even when I am not eating clean. So what would I do for a doughnut?   Well, I will rode my bike 20 miles round trip to eat a Revolution Doughnuts tasty confection.

Sunday is a day where I try to have a fun cardio day.  Bike riding gives me a kick.  I feel like a kid again when I ride. So off I go to the shop.  I get there in about 50 minutes and wait 40 minutes to get to the counter; order my four doughnuts - 1 chocolate, 1 cinnamon, 1 raspberry and 1 vanilla bean.  I like them in the yeast style.  I immediately eat the chocolate (did you seriously think I could wait until I got home).  Ride back home which takes about another 50 minutes to share the rest.

I had my first taste of perfection last month.  One of my co-workers brought a dozen doughnuts to a meeting.  The doughnuts did not last 5 minutes.  There were many moving tributes to just how good these doughnuts taste and where they were the first time they had this treat.

I like supporting local bakeries for my treats. I want to buy from bakeries where I can pronounce and understand all the ingredients in their products.  I am not going to skimp on quality when I purchase my monthly treats.

Other bakeries that I like are Southern Sweets in Decatur, Village Corner German Restaurant and Bakery in Stone Mountain, and a Piece of Cake in Decatur.

Looking quite fit after a 20 mile ride to get the tasty treats.

Tip of the Week:  Eating treats too often can hamper your weight loss goals or even make it difficult to maintain your current weight.  Also, you cannot exercise your way out of a poor diet.  Treats are something that I have every once and awhile. Balance is the key.
