One of the reasons why I set up my blog is to help keep myself accountable and fess-up to my downfalls.  This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at school.  Today was "sweets day".  I had a couple sweeties bring in sweets.  A raspberry-filled puff pastry with sweet goodness written all over it.  A delicious oatmeal raisin cookie.  Mmmmm.  I set them aside on my desk and got on with my day.  The stress of a crazy morning (which included a boy's bathroom incident, a raging vomit-bug taking down it's 4th victim during reading, among other things), caused the rational-thinking part of my brain to go on vacation and I gobbled it up during lunch.  All of it.  The whole puff-pastry and the whole cookie, in addition to my lunch.  Oh, did I mention the fresh, soft, multigrain bagel with a shmear of veggie cream cheese calling out my name in the teacher's lounge?  Oops.  Fortunately, it fueled my motivation to squeeze my work-out in after work, between dinner shifts (half the family had to go to school for an event while I chose to stay back with the "Littles") and bedtime. 

Tomorrow is the best day of the year:  The PTO Teacher Appreciation Lunch.  Our parents know how to cook and they put on the most incredible lunch for the staff.  I MUST pre-plan my attack for lunch.  Low-carb, lean protein, veggies good, sweets bad.  And, I must avoid the teacher's lounge where all the yummy-goodness left-overs are stored. I'll let you know how it goes.
