Back in January, I mentioned that I was taking part in the Biggest Blogging Loser challenge, hosted by the very awesome Jennie. What I didn’t mention was that since the contest ended in March, I have been taking part in a similar, but much more laid back version of the same program, with a smaller (but even more completely amazing) group of ladies. And while I haven’t been losing weight at the same speed I had been in the first challenge, I was consistently dropping the numbers on the scale, however slight the change may have been from week to week.
Then we went to Indiana.
Now, having grown up in Indiana, I would have never even suggested that the state had much of anything to offer by way of ‘food you HAVE to try’, but I may not have given my beloved Hoosier state much credit, as this weekend was a big weekend on the food front for me.
Bub’s Burgers in Carmel (amazing). Double marshmallow Oreo frozen custard milkshake from Culver’s, home of the butter burger (perfect). 96th Street Steakburgers (so good). Skyline Chili (which is actually a Cincinnati thing, but they happened to have a franchise a couple of miles away from our hotel, and I am not one to pass up a shot at Cincinnati chili). There may have been another round of ice cream thrown in for good measure, as well as a rehearsal dinner at Maggiano’s and a ridiculously good piece of wedding cake. And that’s before I even start discussing the liquid calories from the weekend.
Let’s just say that we get one skip week over the course of this challenge, where we don’t have to submit a weight to the group at large, and I’m only about 150% sure that this is my week. I don’t even want to know what kind of damage I did last weekend…
