Year Two, Day 4— I go "Nuts" again

After skidding through the past two days, I firm up my resolve to stay 'sugar-free.' Then wouldn't you know it, a "King Cake" shows up at the office. What is a King Cake? For those not in the know, it essentially a festive coffee cake (similar to the Sarah Lee round danish ring). Though this one was not filled, they often are, but they come with a tiny little plastic baby in it. Though it arrived around 10:30AM and I was hopped up on coffee, I managed to resist it. It smelled like a perfect thing to just take a little sliver of, but I thought, "I can't skid one more time or I won't stop."

Breakfast
1 cup Kashi Go Lean
1/4 cup Ezekail 4.9
3/4 cup Unsweetened Silk Soy Milk
Tea

Snack
Coffee (half decaf)
50 Pistachios
3 oz. Cashews

Lunch
Mesclun Greens with Balsamic
Goat Cheese
Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Tuna

Dinner
Emily's Tilapia
Broccoli and Cauliflower

But then a co-worker came to put pistachios in my jar (sounds like a metaphor, but it's literal). I had just at the moment been thinking if I was hungry enough to have a plain yogurt that I had in the fridge. I thought, I'll just have a few pistachios. Of course, that turned into twenty and then forty and then fifty. It was just like the old and very 'nutty' days. I thought I was safe, then I went over to speak to another co-worker and he had just cracked the new salted cashews—-oof! I had some and THEY WERE GOOD. I really had been off nuts for quite a while, and if I remember it correctly, it's because in the wrong amounts, they can be 'dietbusters.'
