I didn’t eat a donut
My workplace is a haven for junk food. We have a Starbucks on the first floor, and people are always bringing in chocolates, cakes, you name it on often a daily basis. If your office is like mine, they put them out in the kitchen area so everyone can grab a piece. I have to pass this display on the way to my office.
I walked into work this morning and I saw the 2 boxes of Dunkin Donuts sitting by the water cooler. “Oh no you didn’t!” “Damn you!” I took a deep breath and just kept walking. Upon going back to the kitchen to fill up my water bottle, people were conversing around the area eating donuts celebrating the Phillies entering going back to the World Series. All types of flavors were on display: Boston Creme, Chocolate glazed, Old Fashioned, Chocolate Covered…the whole gambit.
“Ken, don’t you want one?”
“No thank you”
A silent gasp ensued.
See, I have a reputation of having a large appitite, mostly earned during my Ironman training.
“Are youuuuu sure?”
“Yea…I’m sure”
Walking away was probably the hardest thing. I felt like I missed out on something. There will be a few more attempts to get me off the wagon: Halloween being the closest. And if the Phillies actually WIN the World Series, I know I’ll definitely have to be on my A-game. Since I’ve added the weight tab to this blog, I’ve been really anal about what I eat. Eating when not hungry or bored is simply not an option anymore.

And then the teachers bring in cookies and other sickly sweet goodies from wherever they went over tthe weekend – I`m living it again mate, but trying to only partake of the local fruit collected from the school banana trees!
