Logically, any other week, the answer would be clear. Cupcakes. Always. Of course, that's how I got myself into the predicament of scrambling to lose weight to avoid back boobage in 6 months..... Today, however, the answer is painful and heart wrenching..... cottage cheese. I'm sure you're thinking to yourself "when would this EVER be a choice that one would have to make?!" The answer my friends, is today. Now before I continue my tale, let me make sure that you are sitting down. I have some very earth shattering news to share, and I'm afraid that you may indeed pass out, but at least if you are sitting down, the fall won't be as far. As you ready? No? Well, don't say I didn't warn you..... I. WENT. TO. THE. GYM. TODAY. Did I just hear a simultaneous thud from all my readers? I thought so. Not only did I GO to the gym, but I actually worked out! Oops. Sorry. I should have checked in on you first before that last bombshell..... Yes. I went to the gym, in my new yoga ball shoes (which I LOVE so far by the way). When I was done, I decided to head to Target to do a little grocery/me shopping. As I pull into the parking lot mentally going through my list of low cal, low taste options for the week, I saw it- the Cupcake Truck. It was like a mirage in the desert. In fact, I'm thinking of calling 24 Hour Fitness and telling them to project an image of the Cupcake Truck on one wall, and just watch as all us fatties pick up the pace on our treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals just trying to reach the truck. It would be a sad and hilarious experiment! But I digress.
Grocery shopping. Of course, now, all I can think about is cupcakes. Perhaps this is what it feels like to have "visions of sugarplums dancing in my head". Except instead of sugarplums, I was thinking about frosting and possibly even sprinkles. You will all be happy to know (or sad to know if you are one of my BL competitors!) that I did NOT give into temptation. In fact, after an hour and a half of grocery shopping just for me ( ps- it takes FOREVER to read every flipping label in the store trying to figure out the best options!) I drove past the cupcake truck AGAIN, gave it a silent "you're #1" salute in my head, and drove home to make lunch.
So that was my day. I survived. I'm even under my calories for the day. I really needed to be to make up for yesterday..... In fact, I think I will start referring to yesterday as the "Voldemort" of my diet. It will now be known as "the day which shall not be named". Yes, that was a Harry Potter reference. Yes, I just scared myself too. No, this doesn't change who I am.
Weigh in tomorrow.... Stay tuned! And think thin thoughts. Lots of them.
14 days down... 166 to go!
It was Fado's fault!!!!!
