Sayonara chocolate molten lava cake. And raspberry cheesecake. And cookie dough on a spoon. In a little test with ourselves, Anna and I are going off all sweets until the marathon. Actually, it's already happening - I haven't had any treats since Sunday! To some people this is probably called normal eating ... but not this girl. It's not as if I'm eating Reeses and cookies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner but I do have a hard time saying no.
So far this week I've said no thanks to dulce de leche cake (that looked AWESOME, by the way), lemon meltaways, chocolate nuggets, cookie dough & brownie cookies, gingersnap cookies, and a few more things that I won't bother to list because it's making me hungry.
Technically this is only for about 1 1/2 months. And let's be realistic - I'd never be able to cut treats out completely. We just booked a cruise for June and my willpower can only hold out for so long. But maybe I'll have more power to say no to mediocre sweets and only settle for quality stuff. And say yes to all sorts of awesome fruit options. The real test will be this weekend when I have to make a cake without eating any of it. If I can pass that test, I think I'm golden! Wish me and my willpower the best of luck.
