If you’re at Disney and average 25,000 steps per day — over 11 miles — one would think you could eat anything you want and not gain weight. Right? Not the case for me! I gained SIX pounds!
Most everything we consumed was packed with glorious calories:
- Star War’s green and blue milk is nasty (blue is slightly better than green) but I sucked down some of both.
- Although the filet from Le Cellier would’ve been ok, I also ate every single bite of the mushroom risotto and truffle-butter sauce. Ooops!
- We all know how fattening pasta and cheese sauce are, but I gobbled down about a pound of it like it was my job while at Disney Springs.
- And, even though desserts are bad for weight loss, I consumed Disney’s well-known ‘grey stuff’ at ‘Be Our Guest.’ I spooned it in even though I felt it was pretty darned bland.
Best and worst according to Shelley…
BEST – filet from Le Cellier
WORST — paintbrush churros at a random stand in Epcot
But besides walking, I exercised!
One would think since when you’re not walking you’re tensing every muscle in your body on some ride, you’d come home wearing your jeans a little bit looser. That’s what I expected. I was wrong!
I blame Disney and my very own kid for my weight gain. Disney, because they offer so many tasty selections — and a bajillion not so tasty things that you simply MUST try… and Ben, because he’s addicted to the Disney Food Blog and had a spreadsheet list of everything deemed worthy.
My diet starts back in full-force tomorrow! How about that for a jolt to reality reminder that I’m no longer at the happiest place on earth?!
