A delicious cinnamon streusel pound cake found its way into my home and eventually into my mouth!!! One would think, as bright as I am, that I would know better than to buy something (on sale of course, it was a mere $1.80 on the reduced bakery rack) ostensibly for my husband that I love!! LOL!!! So I've exercised like a mad woman this weekend while watching movies and of course have a slight increase on the scale!! At least it was a conscious choice and not simply mindless grazing. And, fortunately it is now gone. Did I throw it away??? Oh no. Over the course of a couple of days I ate the WHOLE THING!!! Okay, mom had a few slivers so I didn't eat the entire cake alone. Thank goodness!! LOL!!!
We had fun at the casino last night but they did not draw my name. However, mom came home with an extra 100 dollars in her purse and thanks to the luck of the machine my husband was playing we came home with an extra 220 dollars in our pockets!!! One more chance tonight for the drawing. Silly I guess but it is a hoot!! As long as we come home at least even I am happy!!
I'm watching "Amelia" now. Interesting. I'm a little over half way through it and will finish it up tomorrow morning when I exercise. Other than being present for my chance to win $500 in cash this evening I plan to wash a couple of floors and run the vacuum cleaner today. It is a beautiful day out ... not too warm, not too cool and a good day to do a little housework before we trot up the road to the casino for another opportunity to hear them announce, "congratulations Carol ***** you've won five hundred dollars in cash!" (~:
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Mine certainly has been so far. I am grateful for each day ... I feel happier some days than others but still I am always grateful ...
1. The doe and spotted fawn I watched walk through out property this morning ...
2. For the perfect end to a fun evening last night .... (~;
3. the pound cake is GONE!!!!
4. sleep last night with no disturbing dreams to wake me
5. my dog, snuggled in the crook of my legs this morning as I indeed did get to sleep in AND the nap yesterday afternoon ... does it get any better than this??? LOL!!!
And so ... I am practicing what I preach today. I AM being kind to myself. I am not concerned about the pound cake incident ... it was moist, flavorful, sweet, and oh so good with my morning coffee!!! Indeed a few more calories than typical yesterday and perhaps today as well. Each day is simply a day. My numbers have floated a little higher above the blue line than this same time last year but I am still in an acceptable range and I know exactly what to do to bring the numbers lower. I am fit. My legs are long and shapely. I feel great, most of the time in my clothing and quite frankly out of my clothing!! LOL!!! My life is good and I am healthy. My attitude towards myself is at least as important (if not more) than losing weight. I have lost weight many, many times in the past and not been able to do what I have done this past year and a half. I like me. I like my relationship with food. I am so grateful for the life I have.
Take care my good friends ... you have been and continue to be such an important part of this journey I am on. Thank you!!

The cake sounds delicious and like you I love my dog snuggled in the bend of my legs (usually taking up more than his share of the bed!)

Long and shapely legs are definitely nice to have around lol. No need to feel guilty about the pound cake, like you said it's just a single day. I'm fasting today to atone for my many sins (I'm a bad man ;-) ). Have a great day Carol!

Just a thought: Perhaps your driving dream meant you are going to win $500 big ones! Why not I say!!! You are a winner, Enjoy the pleasantries of your life. My lovely 10 year old daughter Mary just presented me with 3 beautiful homegrown tomatoes from her garden. How good can it get, I say VERY! TOWANDA!!

I keep my fingers crossed for the drawing tonight. You deserve this money lol! Eating cake when you choose it, enjoy it for what it is isn't bad at all. You're right not to feel guilty about it. I had a biscotti yesterday after shopping, I was really hungry and didn't want to eat out. I knew it was wasted calories but I made this choice and it prevent me from eating too much or something worse... No guilt neither! Have a great day!

Mmm pound cake :). I love your kind to yourself paragraph :). It made me feel good too. I think it is very cathartic to write things like that. Have a relaxing Sunday!

You just never know. I remember a few weeks ago I was playing bingo and all I needed was B8, 12 calls later guess what? Oh well it was fun dreaming and thinking I could be the one. Then the very next day I get a call from my daughters school saying I won 150.00 in fireworks...woooo hoooo, surprises are always so cool, you just never know. Have fun and Best of luck! TOWANDA

That cake sounds really good. I have to stay away from cake. Too many temptations around here today. Glad your Mom and your hubby won and you never know your turn may be coming tonight. Glad you enjoyed your day!
