This morning led me down the road of temptation. After working out at the Y, Emily and I stopped off and got some big ol' cups of coffee. I then dropped her off at Sutton and returned to the house to do some reading before I went to visit the chiropractor.
My plan was to go home, toast a bagel, and have my breakfast while watching the news. This is where the temptation comes into play...
Last night, I made some homemade brownies...not the kind that come in a box, but the kind where you put it all together yourself...from scratch. I used Ghiradelli cocoa, so they are extremely rich. Honestly, these brownies are incredible! Emily and I probably could have eaten the whole pan. But, we practiced some self-control!
Well, as I began to make the preparations to have a bagel, the brownies caught my eye. That was pretty much the end of the bagel and the beginning of a brownie. Now, I did limit myself to one brownie.
Giving into the tempting powers of the brownie was everything I thought it could be and so much more! Of course, now I'm thinking to myself, "Self, I should not have done that! Why do I go to the Y? It's not so I can eat brownies. It's so I can be healthy."
But, then I started justifying my actions by saying things like, "Well, I would have put a bunch of butter and jelly on the bagel. So, it would have been just as bad for me as the brownie."
Isn't it nice how I can justify eating a brownie first thing in the morning?
Well, that's all! Stop by the house and help us finish off the brownies before we do!

Don't feel so bad. A little birdy told me that someone made Emily eat a chocolate chip cookie to go with her coffee at school.
Hmmm...I wonder who posted this??? Emily? Perhaps!
Emmie has never been one to pass up something tasty & chocolate, but I can't talk, I go to the gym so I can eat stuff like that.
