Walking past the cake

Ohhh Cake. I love cake the way Homer loves beer. Foaming at the mouth included. What brings this up you might ask? a) I work across the street from a Costco. You've walked into their bakery right? Try walking outside and smelling it all.damn.day.long. Hell cake I eat doesnt' even have to be good cake. I simply love cake! What you might be asking does cake have to do with my journey? Freakin everything. Cake - I will stop for.

Corrected - would have stopped for. I went to my meeting today and learned that even though I may stray from the "plan" - I've learned good enough tools to help me along. I lost this week. I love it when people know the answers and they share them with me. Murray said to slow down on the treadmill and stick with eliptical and bikes for now and maybe only do 5 minutes on the treadmill. The gym got all new machines yesterday that are really really nice :) I have to say that I don't mind paying for quality and I'm surely getting it at this gym. Anyhow 35 minutes on the eliptical and 2.5 miles later -- I'm not feeling any odd sensations in my feet. Thank god! I'm not sure what I would have done had it happened again.

So back to the cake issue. In my office, there are always celebrations going on. Its bad. They have good food and almost always cake. We've covered my love of cake right? So today, there is some hoobuloo going on and the cake was left for taking. Oh dear...chocolate on chocolate. It took everything I had not to break my stride as I walked past. I knew that I even dared to slow down my pace that I would progbably find myself over taking a peice. But no -- I worked hard for my weightloss this week and I'm not screwing it over a peice of grocery store cake. If I want to eat cake these days - I'm going ala Buttery style.

I guess thats what it all comes down to - Choices. I have a choice to eat the crap cake and be done and over it. I'll have to work god knows how hard to reverse that cake. Or -- I can hustle my butt back to my office and chug some water.

Excuse me while I make ANOTHER trip to go pee. But alas, I am strong, I am not invincable. I think I'll take another route so I don't have to see the CAKE!
