HAYSTACK DAY ----- WTF!?!

Wednesdays are HAYSTACK DAYS in the Cafeteria @ Lunch!

What is a Haystack?  Just the best damn thing on Earth (well maybe not but close)!
  • Haystack: Multicolored Tortilla Chips, Savory Seasoned Beef, Queso, Shredded Cheddar Cheese & Sour Cream ... (other items are available ~~such as: beans, rice, jalapenos, olives, etc~~ but I'm a plain Jane...
  • Haystack Names Outside of Lexmark: Nacho Bell Grande (Taco Bell), Loaded Nachos
I walked into our cafeteria today to debate on whether to get another salad or maybe get a Chicken Salad wrap (which isn't the healthiest, but is the healthier choice).... And to my surprise and enjoyment, I saw that our middle serving area had HAYSTACKS today! The smell... so wonderful.. the memories of me stuffing my face with its succulent taste ... always being finished but wanting more... more... MORE! And for those who work with me, they know that here lately, the Haystack has gotten me through some pretty rough and tough times here! :-D It always brought a smile to my face and my belly!

Today, however, was different! Instead of a smile, I was stuck in the middle of the cafeteria.. Standing there like a idiot doing the "what should I eat" tango! My mind was at war with itself... "Go for the Haystack.. Live a little"... "Don't do it! Don't do it! Stay true to your goal"... Remember.. "Tweet What You Eat".... Oh what a battle it was and I finally decided that I would leave the Haystack to those poor souls in line! They too had obviously been sucked into the grasps of that mouth watering dish!

The only problem was that I ended up standing in the middle of the cafeteria for longer... debating on what good stuff to eat! All the while, thinking about just one chip with beef and queso! That would be soo nice! I finally drug myself over to the sandwich line and decided on a chicken salad wheat wrap.... with Lettuce, one slice of cheese and a small portion of light mayo...

But I have made a deal with the Devil (aka myself)... Today is Wednesday, February 23rd... If I can stay true to my weight loss goals for the next month, I am going to splurge on Wednesday, March 30 and get a damn HAYSTACK! I deserve a treat... I will put a poll out on my page when the time comes near to see if you agree that I have done enough to get one! :-D
