Day#17: The Great Cookie Temptation

Okay, I get that office treats are a thing, and I'm usually all over those yummies, don't you know it! But today... the cookies were evil... EVIL I SAY!

17 Days Down, 43 Till Disney World.

So, My boss's wife had her baby. It makes me a terrible person I suppose, that I didn't know she was pregnant or anything, or maybe it just makes me oblivious in a good way... Like I'm so devoted to my job that all else escapes my notice... (yeah, that's not it... well not every day ;) ) Anyway - as a celebratory gesture, one of my coworkers brought in a tray of tasty temptation cookies.

It was between breakfast and lunch time and I was starting to feel the munchies come on... and the cookies were chanting... "Eat us, EAT US! We're delicious, we're worth it..." Sinister little confections. But I looked it up on my calorie counter app, one cookie was almost 300 calories!!! I knew that if I munched one cookie it was only a matter of time till one became two, and two became the whole tray. Me hunched over them like Gollum over the One Ring. "My PRECIOUSSSsssssss"



Nom Nom Nom!




There are a Gollum/Cookie memes and that was not something I expected. Haha! But then I realized that perhaps my story is more akin to this instead...



:) Yup, looks about right!

After all the cookies whisperings thought, I remained strong, and didn't succumb to those evil little confections of deliciousness. Well I assume they were delicious, I don't know actually since... as you heard I didn't have one. Will Power won out this time.

Why oh why do I have such a weakness for sweets. I love dessert and surgery delights... I'm sorry but fruit can only curb that craving. Will it ever end? So, Here's my thought after surviving the great cookie craving of 2016. I need to give myself license to indulge occasionally so that I don't hate everything and everyone when cookies suddenly appear at work. Or I need alternative ways to get some sweetness in my meals.

Suggestions?

I know the mystical "they" say that Sugar is as addictive as crack; and having never had crack, I don't know how compatible the two are - but man I miss my surgery friends... cheesecake and cookies... It's tragic when you feel like your relationship with food is more reliable and dependable than others you've had in your life. (silently wheeping because of how pathetic that sounds... correction, how pathetic that is.)

Another Day down and Kendra Taught me some new exercises. More places that I never knew could hurt, hurt tonight. So... Yay for new things! Following this I did Cardio for 48 minutes.

Keeping on keeping on.
