Cake!

I have one week left in my 28 day Dietbet and I’ve reached the point where the novelty of eating clean has worn off a bit. I need to lose two more pounds in the next 7 days, which is reasonable but I’m sitting on a pretty big plateau I’ve been fighting off and on for awhile. It probably doesn’t help that I keep ending up in challenging situations.

I’ve been to two birthday parties in the last week. Eating out was challenging enough but I managed it. The worst part was saying no to dessert. I survived brunch at the Cheesecake Factory, barely. And what was I thinking going to the grocery store the day after Easter candy got marked down? I almost started fantasizing about Cadbury Mini Eggs. Damn hormones.

Don’t get me wrong I know this isn’t sustainable. I don’t even really need it to be, I am capable of making good food choices and not indulging too much but I’ve reached the Dietbet homestretch for my first bet and I’ve got at $25 buy-in into a $63,000 pot riding on this. I’m not losing this bet.

Apparently HZ and I share a brain though because I decided to surf healthy desserts on Pinterest too. Is this a great solution to my dessert problem or what. I LOVE fruit. I’m sure you can all guess what I’ll be bringing to potlucks this summer.
