...defeated by little mini-cupcakes!! My one little cupcake turned into two and then three and then four - and that was just in one sitting. I couldn't help it. I was bored and every time I walked into the kitchen a little pink cupcake would taunt me. And I caved - every time. Sigh.
Even though tomorrow is not Friday I figure I would weigh in for a couple of reasons. Since my first goal was to lose 5lbs. by February 1st I thought I might as well make the results "official" by weighing tomorrow. And second, we'll see how much damage those mean little cupcakes did.
I knew at some point this weekend my husband was going to ask about chips and other snack food. Late last night after the girls were in bed he was laying on the couch and wanted to know what there was to eat. My answer was simply "cupcakes" and he had nothing to say after that. Then after lunch today he was rummaging through the pantry looking for some chips. He wanted to know why he "had to suffer because" I couldn't control myself. I guess he makes a good point but it's not like anyone needs chips. Besides, I reminded him I had asked him Thursday night if there was anything he could possibly want to eat this weekend I might not have bought. He had his chance.
I have exercised this weekend so maybe the cupcakes haven't set me back too far. Yesterday I did my normal walking routine and today I helped shovel the driveway. This was NOT fun. For starters we don't have a snow shovel. The regular shovel we were using was too big for me. I didn't have good gloves to wear so half the time I wore no gloves at all. And for my final complaint our driveway is fairly long and slopes. But I definitely broke a sweat and worked some muscles that don't normally get worked. Of course now my lower back is killing me already even after two extra strength Tylenol.
Tomorrow will be another day at home. My husband is taking my car into work since it his truck has absolutely no heat. So I guess it will be another day of fighting the cupcake temptation.
