Day 10 - Chocolate No-Bake Cookies!

So, it's Day 10 already. And I'm starting to get excited because I can definitely see a change in my body even though I've only lost a little over one pound! Heh, I guess that's the advantage of only having to loose 10-15 pounds - each pound off is significant. Anyway, last night I had a rather flavorless meal - turkey patty, salad, broccoli and milk. Why? I had to stay at the office last night until 11 p.m.! But, the good thing about eating at my office is that I usually don't crave for more food once I've finished with my meal. When I'm at home something about the cozy atmosphere or the idea that there's food in the fridge that I could nibble on always causes me to pine (if that's the right word) for more once i'm done with dinner. But what's doubly great that I had to eat dinner at the office is that last night one of my roommates made chocolate no-bake oatmeal cookies.

Oh man, those cookies are to die for. I could eat twenty of them in five minutes! However, since I wasn't at home and didn't even realize she was making them, I didn't crave them or worse - have to sit at home and die as the the wonderful smells of chocolate being mixed with butter, peanut butter and oats wafted through the entire house. In fact, I didn't even realize she had made them till this morning when I looked in the fridge to get some breakfast and saw a few sitting on a cookie tray. Luckily, I know by the time I get home tonight they will all be eaten up - those cookies don't last long! So that's good. While staying at the office till 11 was a bit lame, I'm glad I got to miss out on at least one temptation to throw caution to the wind and binge on chocolate no-bake oatmeal cookies! :) 10 days down clean and counting... :)
