The office I work in revolves in so many ways around food. Every meeting has food brought in, people are always bringing snacks and treats for those in the office to nibble on, when people come visit (brokers, insurance peeps etc) they always bring food to treat/bribe us with. lol. It’s just the way the office works, shrug, I was part of it in that I would bring in baked goods fairly often – hey, I like to bake but don’t want to eat it so I got my co-workers to. teehee. 🙂
Well, I should have expected that people would start bringing in food the closer and closer it got to my last day. It started today. Donuts. Oh my. DS brought in Tim Horton’s donuts and muffins for everyone, she doesn’t work from the office thurs and fri so this was her last time seeing me and she brought them so we could all “drown our sorrow” – direct quote!
It’s so thoughtful of her, and I highly appreciate the meaning behind it but…well…crap! I would have felt like a jerk not eating one since she brought them in due to me but like I really needed the calories? *shakes head*
You might think the healthier option would have been to pick one of the muffins but nope, they are worse then some of the donuts, lol, scary huh? I chose a Boston Cream donut cause they are omg delish and I know by heart how many points they are. lol. 5. 🙂 So, horribly high number for a snack that I didn’t really need but oh well. I was undecided as to what I should do (1) eat the donut and then be super careful with dinner so as not to go in to my flex points or (2) eat the donut and count the 5 points from the donut as flex points…notice neither option is don’t eat the donut? teehee
Today I ate:
1 apple = 1 point
1 pear = 1 point
1 banana = 1 point
1 Activia yogurt = 2 points
1 Mediteranean Veg and Pasta soup = 4 points
1 piece toast = 1 point
1 boston cream donut = 5 points
1 cup hot cocoa = 3 point
– 1 tbls cocoa (0), 2 tbls white sugar (1), 1 cup 1% milk (2)
2 dinner buns = 2 points
2 tsp margarine = 2 points
1 light babybell = 1 point
1 thinsations Ritz pckg = 2 points
Total points eaten = 25
Soooo, obviously I ended up putting the donut in to flex points. I’m not sure this is the wisest decision since I went over yesterday, and the day before, and am going for lunch tomorrow and there is some sort of secret-I’m-not-supposed-to-know-the-details potluck at work friday as a good bye thing. Sure I exercised yesterday but it’s pouring rain today so no hike, sad, and yes I will be dragon boating friday but that’ll prob not counteract the food from the potluck at lunch or the alcohol I’ll be drinking afterwards lol.
I’m fairly certain the scale will not like me saturday, sigh, hopefully the weather will be nicer tomorrow and I’ll be able to at least go for a hike…too bad boxerfit was cancelled this week – if it wasn’t I might have a fighting chance on the scale on saturday. 😛

I posted my blog and then came over to yours and found that I kind of wrote the same thing as you. LOL! It is one thing to say no to treats for someone else, it is altogether a different thing when those treats are for you. You really can’t say no. You did the right thing though. Just try to make some smart decisions but don’t beat yourself up. It is a unique situation and in a few days it will be over and you will be back on track. Good luck to you!
