My Sugar Overload Weekend

My blood sugar probably spiked to ultra-hyper levels from all the sugary indulgences that got me caving in all throughout the weekend. 

Here's a rundown of the sinful things I delighted in:

2 pcs. of Belgian Chocolates from Leonidas:

I had one "I Love You" praline which is dark chocolate with special lemon cream filling, 

and a Buche Orange Fondant, dark chocolate with marzipan and candied orange peel.

Naturally, I didn't stop there.  I also had my fill of lemon melts. Thankfully, the cookies are sugar-free. These cookies are just supermarket bought, Elsa's Story cookies, a brand of cookies from Israel, and they are not bad at all.  The butter flavor may be a little too strong, but the hint of lemon surely hit the spot.  The price is not bad too, about P146 only for an entire pack (150 g).  

My brother just arrived from Tokyo last Saturday, so he brought home lots of Japanese goodies, including Japanese chocolates.

He brought packs of Grapefruit flavored Kitkat so I had to try those immediately. It was good, so good that I had a couple of pieces. Okay, make that 4! Grapefruits are supposed to be helpful in weight loss because they contain a lot of fat burning enzymes.  I remember the Scarsdale diet from way back that featured a lot of grapefruit.  I suppose there were enough enzymes in each Kitkat bar to burn the calories from all the chocolate that covered the wafers. I shouldn't be guilty about feasting on Kitkat Grapefruit, right?   Can this pass as an excuse?

Then I tried the Lotte Choco Pie which is a chocolate covered cookie sandwich with vanilla cream filling.   I think I had 3 pieces of these over the weekend.  Eeeek!  This only means I would have to stay on the treadmill 3 times longer than usual.

Having a fill of too many sweets this weekend, I decided to step on the brakes and hold off on eating Royce Chocolates.   I will save the best for later.  And Royce Nama Chocolates deserve a separate blog entry.
