Fat Tuesday

Years past, Fat Tuesday was always an excuse for me to eat as much as I could and to enjoy some donuts with the family (since we can’t find any paczki). This year, Lent starts very early (the earliest in 96 years actually), so Fat Tuesday comes fast on the heels of Super Bowl Sunday. So this week is a potential weight loss disaster waiting to happen. So, when you reach for a big slice of King Cake, or a paczki, or any other fattening food in the name of Fat Tuesday, think about your fitness and weight-loss goals. Use portion control, common sense and focus and you can make it through this day of gluttony without derailing all the efforts you’ve made so far.
