Yeah, I'll get back to the treadmill this weekend or next week. I'm going to stop stressing about it.
I had my shake. Breakfast was Eggs Benedict - I asked for it without the english muffin, the sauce and the ham. I ended up with three baked eggs and three strips of bacon.
Lunch was the last of the chicken & broc left-overs. I had an apple, a banana and some nuts as snacks.
Then, we had our little event at work. The event celebrated all of the people in my department that had anniversaries. I was "celebrating" 8 years. I knew there would be treats of some type. I planned to go, get a can of Diet 7Up, stay long enough to call it an appearance and then get the heck out.
Yeeeeeah. The management in my department can't even figure out how to throw a party. There were no drinks. Nothing. But, oh dear jeebus!, the conference table, one of the largest in the firm, was COATED in cupcakes. My blood sugar jumped just walking into the room. It was like dropping a cocaine addict into a Miami Police Department evidence locker. I said hello to a few people and got the hell out - I didn't get any cupcake on me.
Dinner was started with some BBQ Pork, some cheese and salami and eight - 8 - Ritz crackers, then the main course was crustless quiche. I had a container of fruit cocktail in Splenda syrup for desert - that was about 200 calories.
So, all told, not bad. I didn't need the crackers, but I didn't eat four cupcakes.

To me, denying yourself cupcakes is some IMPRESSIVE will power! Very proud of you. :)
you are a stronger man than I. a table full of colorful cupcakes would have sent me over the edge (of the table in a belly flop right into the middle of them...wouldn't have come back up until the cupcakes were gone and I'd made a huge mess of myself and the table and most likely lost my job)...so well done you!
These were not just colorful cupcakes - they were freekin' gourmet! They got these from some hyper expensive bakery!
One of the few nice things about working for this firm is that when we do get a perk, they spend money like we're partners and not just staff. When I used to travel for the firm, I lived like a king. Everyone wondered why I liked all the trips - it was simple: I ate like a king in five star hotels!
But, yeah, those cupcakes were deal breakers. When this diet works, I slip into a place where sugar almost becomes repulsive. I'm almost there again!
