Oh Man

       Gosh...alright, so usually I love my job, just to reiterate. However, *sigh* on days when it's my time of the month, I can almost loathe it. All I want is to eat everything in sight!! Oreos, peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, all different flavors of icings, cupcakes, cookies, cake pops, aww geez, the list goes on and on. And sometimes it's more than I can handle and I do eat everything in sight, lol...but it doesn't end up being funny at the end of the day when I feel all gross and bloated and disappointed in myself because I ate crap all day... (I decided to write about this not only because it's yet another week for me to struggle through it but because I know I am not the only one who goes through this crap.)
       Anyway...I like the days when I do fight it and I eat the still tasty snacks that I have. The only problem with those days are that at the end of them I have the most annoying sweet tooth that just wants me to eat sugar sugar sugar! Usually it's chocolate that I crave the most, mmmm. Chocolate, with its yummy creaminess and smooth texture. With its peanut butter and crunchies and raspberry and strawberry....oh man! I could eat chocolate all day every day and I tell myself it's okay because it's good for you... ;-). (Granted in small doses but hey, I'm not going around popping your bubbles.)
       Today was sort of eh on the not eating crap scale. We just improved our cupcakes (yes, Ashley, read it and weep, lol, did you think they could get better??) so all I've been wanting to do is eat them anyway...then to make matters worse we just got a bucket of buttercream in. Now, for the cupcakes and the cakes we make at my bakery we make our own buttercream from scratch. We actually cook it and everything. We finally ordered a bucket of pre-made buttercream to use for last minute writing on cupcakes, people who need dairy free, things like that. It's Brill brand and I could eat an entire bucket of it. Not even kidding, entire bucket, no problem. *sigh* Needless to say, I've eaten it on several cupcakes the last few days...know what though? I don't care. Not even a little. I've eaten a good breakfast lunch and dinner all those days as well and I actually went for a walk yesterday with my dog, Lizzie, and tonight Jonah (RJ's son) and I went for a bike ride.
         All in all I feel pretty darn good about my eating habits today.
