Cinnabomb Confessions

Maybe the smell wafting lazily from Cinnabon store gets you while you're walking through the mall or perhaps you wake up one grey morning, as I did, craving the warm, gooey sweetness of a cinnamon bun. I suppose that after 4 straight days of dreary weather and a lot of stress, it was almost preordained that I would cheat on my diet. My usual cheats are pizza or french fries, but this weekend, it was an 1100 calorie caramel pecan cinnabomb followed by an 800 calorie regular cinnabomb the next morning. Well, actually to be fair, I only had half of the caramel-pecan bun. The other half went to my roomie, but either way, my weekend was one giant sugar orgy followed by frequent naps. I don't know if anyone else had had this experience, but eating, especially sweets, makes me sleepy; overpoweringly so. I've learned to avoid certain trigger foods during the workweek that might have me snoozing on my desk. Consquently, meals are usually pretty diet friendly Monday thru Friday. When the weekend hits, all bets are off. Weekends and right before bed are usually when the cravings hit. Any dieter will tell you that cravings are bad, but they usually go away after 20-30 minutes. Not so, at least not in my case. Part of the reason I can't get the weight off is monster obsessive cravings for all things starchy, sugary, and in general really terrible for your health. I wish I knew of some vitamin or natural supplement that would cure these cravings.

Knitting Updates and Cat Pics

Forthcoming, I promise. Shot some great pics this weekend. Project Argyle is coming along. Had to frog six rows just today, but I think I can set an estimated finish date of the end of April. *fingers crossed*
