Have I mentioned how much I love sweets? Cupcakes, cookies, candy, pie, you name it, I'm probably gonna eat it. It's not my number 1 addiction (that's Diet Coke) but it still can wreak havoc on my impending weight loss.
Today was our new employee lunch at Broadway Pizza, which has an all you can eat pizza buffet at lunch time. I was good and got a salad and some cottage cheese and just a couple slices of pizza (they're half the size as normal). Then I saw the cinnamon knots with icing drizzled over them. I thought, just one won't hurt. So I had two. Then, being it was the first day of one of our new hires, there were cupcakes. And because I really really can't resist cake and frosting in any form, I ate one of those. Damn it, Erin!
I did go running in the fitness center after work so I managed to work off at least the cupcake. And since I counted for the cinnamon knots, I don't feel as horrible as I might have on a different day. I know weight loss and training means I should be eating right all the time but if I want to be successful, I know I need to not deprive myself of the things I love. I'm certainly not going to stop drinking (because that is ludacris!) and I can have a cupcake or a cookie now and then. I've tried to deprive myself before and it always ends badly. Meaning I overindulge and then I don't care anymore and I'm back where I started.
I'm taking this one day at a time. Do I feel as good as I did yesterday? No but I'm not angry with myself either. And that's a start.
Tomorrow I may skip the fitness routine to attend a movie in the form of "Magic Mike". Channing Tatum is hot enough I'm hoping the pounds will just sweat off me. God, if only that worked!
