Herculean Strength Aboundeth

Wow!  Sometimes I even amaze myself…

Just a quick WTG moment (that’s Way To Go, by the way).

I sooooo wanted a cookie after lunch.  I mean REALLY wanted a cookie.  I was starting to fantasize about how to snag one…”Maybe some kind soul brought cookies in today and they’re in the teachers’ lounge,”  and even more desperate...“maybe I can scrounge around the kids’ lunchboxes for leftovers,” (ewww, I know).  

You know when you really want to eat something, you can actually almost taste it before you even have it in your mouth?  That’s where I was.  Then I remembered….

Oooh, I have a little package of cookies in the bottom of my workout bag…

I know what you’re thinking, what are cookies doing in my workout bag?  Good question.  I’m not sure.  Thanks for asking.

I actually had the bag in my hand and was about to go digging around when I realized this could either make or break my good eating for the day.  Do I have enough points for the cookies?  Yes.  But is it possible for me to eat them without going on a sugar binge?  Ummmm, probably not.  Sugar begets sugar in my mind for some reason.

So I reluctantly put the cookie-laden workout bag back down, and reached in my purse for a couple sticks of gum. 

Now I’m furiously chewing away, my good eating for the day is still intact, and my breath is so very minty fresh!

Yea me!!  Move over Hercules!  A new demi-goddess* of amazing strength (and minty fresh breath) is in town!

*Note: I don't actually consider myself a demi-god, BTW.  That would just be a little narcissistic and god-complexish.  I am no demi-god.  Just freaking awesome, is all!!
