I've been doing so well on watching the calorie intake, usually coming in under what was budgeted for the day.
But today, I thought we'd be having our Annual "Baked Potato Fest" after our Community Bible Study Leaders' Time, so I budgeted and planned for that in my count for the day. I even ran by the store this morning and picked up a cake of a kind I DON'T like (very selfish of me but stay tuned).
It turns out I had the day wrong. Still, since I had brought the cake, I sliced it and set it out and found it easy to resist (remember, I didn't like this flavor). The ladies who did indulge raved about it and asked which Giant Store I'd bought it at! So even though I thought I was being selfish by not bringing a "GOOD" flavor, it turned out to be a huge hit! There was only one slice left to send home with one of the moms who had a teen boy at home (it had nuts so it was a no-no for my teen son).
Then I stopped at my favorite place for a "small" lunch after CBS leaders group today. When I got home and looked at their website and saw what I had eaten, I realized that I can choose to have noodles with my spaghetti tonight if I'm also going to take time to exercise on the Wii, or I can just have sauce without noodles. It's homemade, so the sauce is good, but I think I'll do the Wii.

Congratulations on choosing a hit of a cake that you could resist! I'm going crazy here at day 12, but I have lost 3 pounds so far. Only I dream of floating on sugar cookie rafts on chocolate oceans under marshmallow clouds...wake up hungry...
:-(
Good luck and hang in there. I swear dieting is a full time job!
Well I'm glad the cake was a success. That's something I would do but I wouldn't think it's being selfish...just damn smart on my end LOL Keep up the good work :)
