Mmmm Donuts!
Day 22
Weight: 215 lbs
Thought for the Day: Mmm Donuts!
So if it wasn't bad enough that my brother in law insisted that we stop off to get Dunkin Donuts and coffee last Saturday, I still hate him for such a vile and evil act, our art intern (the evil spirited girl) in the office arrives at work today all bubbly and full of life with two dozen Dunkin Donuts for the art staff. (of which there are 4 of us with 2 of us out on vacation today, leaving 2 of us... you do the math that's 12 donuts each! Including the 4 freelancers and 2 photo editors of which only half were present that's still 4.8 donuts each! 5 people 24 donuts and I can't have any! This was the first time during the whole 22 day stretch where I was really felt I was missing out! I know the intern aka shadow-spawn was only being friendly but each time I feel hungry I goto the kitchen and fetch a glass of water... except today there were 19.25 (there is always someone who uses a knife to cut off 1/4, really what's the point!) donuts begging me for a place to stay in my stomach. I LOVE dunkin donuts. I can recite the whole menu and usually order the #1 2 donuts and a coffee for $2.54 ~ those would be 2 chocolate creams. So instead of sitting frustrated in my office I looked up the calorie counts to feel better about myself. instead I found out:
In 1955 the first Dunkin’ Donuts franchise was sold and now there are over 6,000 stores in over 30 countries.
I can actually eat 5-6 donuts in one sitting givent the chance. So I decided to list my top 10 with calorie and calories from fat descriptions (each corresponds to one donut):
My 10 favorite Dunkin Donuts:
10. Eclair
Calories 270, From Fat 70
9. Glazed Donut
Calories 180, From Fat 70
8. Frosted Lemon Cake Donut
Calories: 240, From Fat: 120
7. French Cruller
Calories: 120, From Fat 70
6. Powdered Cake Donut
Calories 330, From Fat 170
5. Maple Frosted Donut ~ one time we tried to order this in a New Jersey Dunkin Donuts, and an albino man was serving us. He didn't know what a maple donut was and kicked us out of the store.
Calories: 210, From Fat 80
4. Black Raspberry Donut
Calories 210, From Fat 70
3. Vanilla Creme Filled Donut
Calories 240, From Fat 120
2. Marble Frosted Donut
Calories 240, From Fat 120
1. Chocolate Creme Filled
Calories 270, From Fat 120
Fun Fact: My favorite Dunkin Donuts estabilshment is about 2 miles from our house and is busy with 20 people any time of the day or night! (we went there at 2:00 am and 4:30 am only to find it still packed with people! Amazing!). Any all you people wondering why I am giving such loving to just Dunkin Donuts, I must say that I do also like Crispy Creme. I must have gone past those enticing treats 10 times today, my resolve was tested but not broken.
In the evening we went over to a friend's BBQ. This was the first BBQ of the year and being vegan kinda set me back some. I was very limited with my choice of food despite everyone making huge allowances to get stuff on the table I could eat. I would have loved to have tried the grilled shark or grilled chicken but settled on salads and tabouli (a tasty rice dish). I did drink my fill of red wine though and after dinner we got out the telescope and looked at the stars and saturn. I could have sworn it had all kinds of rings at all different angles, but due to the alcoholI wasn't able to focus well! Another evening well spent.
I am now more than half way to my goal fo 40 days!
