Chocolate

I am off work for the whole weekend in a couple of weeks so I am going to a friend's house for a slumber party. No, I don't think I am too old for a slumber party - thanks for asking! We are going to go running and do some strength training and then move on to the fun stuff like doing each others hair and make up and eating. My favorite food right now is chocolate - specifically brownies and her favorite food is mini corn dogs. That night we plan to pig out on both. In anticipation of the brownie decadence I vowed to not have any chocolate (with the exception of hot cocoa in the mornings. I am drinking it instead of hot tea or coffee because I don't want to get hooked on caffeine again and it is cold in the mornings when I get up!) until the slumber party.

In the past I have not ever had a problem passing up the sweets but since I have been on my healthy/running kick I can't get enough! I buy Hershey's miniatures to control my portions and satisfy my cravings, but I really have let it get out of hand.

I told you that so I can tell you this: One of the guys that I work with brought homemade chocolate chip cookies to work this morning! His wife made them and I know from experience that she is a damn fine baker! I passed them 3 times without trouble and then he brings the plate around making each person take some cookies! I took 2 so that he would leave me alone. BUT - I have not eaten them! I called my husband and told him that I am bringing him 2 ooey gooey choco chip cookies this afternoon! If I don't come home with those cookies I am in for it. Now I have to sit here for the rest of the day with 2 scrumptious cookies under my nose though.

I AM better than the cookie!
I AM better than the cookie!
