save me from cupcakes
The holiday onslaught continues.
***Warning:This post may make you hungry!
I walked into the English Dept. office this AM, and the counter was blessedly bare for a change. I came back a few minutes later to grab some coffee, and there they were:2 boxes of the most delicious-looking cupcakes I have ever seen. Carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese icing and little carrots on top, red chocolate-cherry cupcakes with white frosting and cherry syrup drizzled on top, double-chocolate cupcakes with candied cherries on top, and dark chocolate cupcakes with cappucino frosting and little coffee beans on top. Yes, I stood and studied them. No, I did not cave in. I took a small taste. But wow, that was rough.
THEN, I went to a holiday luncheon at school (but not my scheduled cheat). There was fried chicken, cheesy mostaccoli, potato salad, macaroni salad, home-baked cookies, brownies, Danish butter cookies, and a terra cotta planter with what appeared to be a poinsettia plant, but was actually a silk plant in a mixture of cool whip and french vanilla pudding covered in crushed Oreos. I tasted the dirt pudding, had a chicken breast with no skin, had a spoonful of mostaccoli, and some salad.
I made it through the day without any major disasters, but it was so hard! It is so not fair that I have to be so austere in my eating habits to avoid ballooning. God, I wanted that cupcake.
Well, there is my rant. Gaaah.
Weigh-in tomorow...my will power had better pay off.
