Hump Day

Ok In Weight Watchers talk, I had a non-scale Victory today. I did NOT lose an ounce, which would have been SCALE victory and much appreciated mind you, but I was proud of myself anyway.

About two weeks ago a lady at work was selling these breads called "Butter Braids." They are frozen logs of dough that come in scrumptious flavors like strawberry cheesecake, Bavarian cream, cream cheese.......... YUM! They are basically HUGE danishes. You un-freeze them, they rise, you bake, you eat, you eat some more and GAIN! They are sooooo Delicious. She was selling them as a fund raiser for a family affected by cancer. So, I bought two--at $10.00 a pop! I bought Bavarian Cream and Cream Cheese, two flavors I KNEW my husband would not eat. Don't ask me why. Ok ask me why if you must. I guess b/c I wanted them to myself. Shame Shame.

Anyway, they came in today. Cold, frozen beautiful logs of potential baked goodness. I immediately walked next door to another teacher's classroom and gave them to her!!!!!!!! She is a single, struggling mom with a dead beat, non-child-support-paying husband!

She was shocked. She protested. She declined. She took them. I was very glad and sad at the same time! Dang it those were mine. They would have been so good. I paid $20.00 for those!
But I felt good at the same times for several reasons. 1.) I got rid of CRAP food and walked away. 2.) I helped the family with cancer with my $20.00 and 3.) I helped a single mom!

So all in all a positive experience. But I still want that Cream Cheese bread! LOL
