So, I just found out that one of my co-workers is turning 67 today. We're throwing him a surprise party and I'm excited for it because this guy is like super nice and just so wise and grandfatherly cute. But I totally didn't prepare for this in way of my diet. Heh. I feel so pathetic even mentioning it. I mean, should this even be a problem? I should totally put people before I do myself...right? And yet, I'm afraid. I've been so good and I don't want to blow off an entire week's worth dieting work...and usually when I get tripped up I just keep tripping. Hm. I really don't know what to do. I've already eaten my Only-One-Treat-A-Week rule.
Alright, so I just finished making my contribution to the party - fruit platter. It has mangoes, pineapples, kiwi's (imported and EXPENSIVE!), and grapes (also imported and expensive!). heh, not that I mind, this guy is totally worth it, he's been so good to me. I just find it funny what fruit costs here when compared to how much I spent in California. But the mangoes here are divine. Not the nasty orangish ones you get from Mexico, but a beautiful golden mango. Oh man. I've never had anything so good, sweet and tangy. I mention the fruit platter because I love fruit so I ate some - when I shouldn't have. I justified it though because I had missed my 5:00 p.m. snack of veggies...But that one difference in my daily routine made me nibble at last night's peanut butter chocolate chunk pecan pie (haha I love spelling that whole thing out) which was still in my fridge even though I didn't even make it! Anyway, I almost threw caution to the wind and ate a whole slice - and who knows what all after wards. I'm not even joking. It's the small givings-in that always lead to a break down in my resolve. And what helped me? This blog! Crazy, I know. But amazing. It's like a catharsis for my urge to eat. I hope I keep it up. We haven't actually started the meal yet, but thankfully this guy doesn't eat desserts so there won't be anything to really tempt me too bad.
