Day 77 - Temptation - May 25th
Tonight we attended a lovely outdoor social, no mask was needed because of the setting. Part of the dinner was catered out but many dishes were brought Pot Luck. There certainly was a wonderful array of edibles. I still needed to bring my own food because of the dangers of sitting food, but I made a nice little salad that I was very happy with. The trouble came at dessert time, that was definitely total torture, watching the decadent chocolate brownies, cookies and cheesecakes pass by!
It made it very difficult to concentrate on conversations as the lingering aromas tantalized my senses. Somehow I made it through the party, but when I got home, it was more than I could handle! My daughter had given me a recipe for a healthy mug cake that could help satisfy a sweet craving, but I would have had to cook that, so I resorted to the cute little ice cream drumsticks calling my name from the freezer. Yes I answered their call, to my total delight, the only trouble was, they didn't stop calling after the first one disappeared. I was now ready to answer their beckoning, as my husband was still at meetings for the evening... no one would have to know if another drumstick bit the dust, so to speak. Then I remembered the blog, I had already told everyone about my commitment to healthier eating. Drat!
So.... out came the skinny popcorn, a few handfuls later and I was okay. The blog and the popcorn came to the rescue. So I can happily report tonight, I'm not as good as I should be, but I'm not as bad as I once was!
