Owning My Evil: Today is a Splurge Day!

Here's why today is a splurge day:

1.  my boss is 'paying off' a bet this morning; bringing any Starbuck's coffee beverage of my choice to me.  Now, I AM choosing a skinny caramel latte, which will range from 100-130 calories, depending upon the size he brings me.  So it's not an awful splurge, but, it's clearly 100-130 calories I don't normally have.  I'm going to eat only 3 almonds this morning instead of my normal 16-18.  That ought to make up for most of the calories.

2.  I'm going to lunch with three girlfriend co-workers at a local restaurant that specializes in what they call an Irish Sundae.  It's a baked potato loaded with butter, sauteed mushrooms, prime roast beef, and topped with chives.  AND DAMMIT, I'M GOING TO HAVE IT!  I haven't had a (whole) baked potato since LAST APRIL.  I've been there since then, but always ordered a salad, dressing on the side.  TODAY, I plan on having the Irish Sundae.  Not holding back on anything.  simply.enjoying.it.  Period. 

Now, I probably won't have dinner.  But I might.  Mr. Sunny is grilling chicken breasts with BBQ, and I really don't want to miss that.  So unless I'm still stuffed (a distinct possibility), I'll probably have at least the chicken breast.  I'll probably only have 1 Nugget tonight instead of 2.  I won't get my half hour of dancing in at lunch, obviously, so I'll need to do at least 45 min. tonight.  But, other than that, I'm simply going to indulge today.  It won't kill me.  Oh sure, I might see a momentary gain of a pound, even two, but it won't kill me.  I'll hop right back on the horse tomorrow and get back to my normal regimen.  But today, I just

WANT.TO.SPLURGE.

I own my evil.  LOL

Have a great day, and stay true to your goals!  (she said, trying not to feel everso slightly guilty.) 

Hey, once in a while, a girl just has to have fun.  One loaded baked potato in nine months ain't gonna kill me, or my overall plans/journey/success.
