Carnival of Temptation

Today at work we had our semi-annual Spring Fling and it inspired me to write a mini-post.  A few weeks ago I was excited by the fact that they had chosen a carnival theme with all of the cotton candy, sno-cones, corn dogs, cheese curds and delicious nachos, but weeks later with my new menu in hand I turned into a major party hater.  My lunch of fish and quinoa sounded inedible next to a giant tub of popcorn and a hot dog.  (This is especially compacted by the fact that I really don't think I know how to cook quinoa, so if you have any recipe ideas...send them my way.) To make matters worse, I had volunteered to make cotton candy cones so I was right in the belly of the beast.  Cone after Hello Kitty colored cone I wished diabetes on all of the takers while they stuffed their mouths with cloudy goodness, but then something weird happened--I got totally disgusted by the idea of chomping down that much sugar.  And it wasn't just because my cotton candy cones were lopsided and a sickly colored mixture of the pink and blue sugar.  I thought about how strong I felt having kicked that temptation in the ass!  I don't usually take a lot of time to be proud of myself, but today I felt like I earned a few moments of silence for the tiny bit of cellulite on my bum (or bedonk if you will Mary)  that died due to my healthy choices.  So, if you are out there like me and you are trying to make better choices just think of how good you are going to feel when you just say no.

I look forward to updating all of you on Tuesday with my camping adventures!  On this Holiday weekend kick back and enjoy some wine because it has less carbs than beer.  (Not drinking would be the best choice, but that is just craziness.)  (Also, Arbor Mist is technically not wine.....you know who you are.) Until next time...............
