No Refusal Thursday

Oh the temptations that come, smh My principal sends out an email on Tuesday telling us to save room for treats on Thursday because we have two "half" birthdays to celebrate. I'm still kind of new at this school, but thinking it's kind of weird to celebrate folks' half birthdays, but whatever. I know that I can just bypass whatever the treat is. Then come to find out today that it's MY half birthday along with our Assistant Principal. You see, she and I both have summer birthdays and since we're not in school during the summer, they acknowledge our "half" birthday. Okay, it's a cute idea now that I understand. Well my "team" which consists of the school administrators, office staff, librarian, diagnostician and one other specialist (us miscellaneous folks) drew names to see who would bring a birthday treat for whom. But of course, you don't just bring it for that person, you bring enough to share with the team. Well, guess who drew my name at the beginning of the year. My principal! She made me a Texas Sheet Cake (translation:  crazy good chocolate cake) And of course, I think she's a pretty awesome diva, so no I couldn't refuse chocolate cake made by my principal for my half birthday. I mean whomever made my treat, principal or not, it would've been rude to not eat some. And then we all ordered lunch out from Applebees. I don't particularly care for Applebees, so I really had to search the menu for something that seemed appealing. So today, turned into more calories than I intended, but not overeating, and I still felt very much in control. Still, too many sweets today!  

 

I recognize how inconsistent I've been with my plan lately. I see that I have work to do, and of course I'm pressing forward.   Here's my cake after we started digging in :)
