Changing Behavior!

This bunch of flowers
lasted almost three weeks in my house,
which is really amazing
as my cat has a tendency to chew all the flowers off of
tulips and daisies,
Imagine my surprise waking up and not a flower
is left on any stems and the cat is sitting on the table looking at me,
A. Acting like she should be sitting there
B. Looking at me like what are you going to do about it.
C. I can run faster than you, ha ha like your PSSST is going to scare me.
Ha Ha Kitty, no temptations for you today,
Who is laughing now!
.......................
Behaviors just like the cat need to be changed,
but it is with me.
A rhubarb/saskatoon pie came into this house by hubby.
He knows it is a weakness of mine.
So even though I was annoyed with him,
I have to admit I had two pieces over the weekend.
and this am I woke up and that is the first thing I looked for,
Yes still some left,
I grabbed the pie, I grabbed a plate,
and I remembered what I had read in Annes  post today over at Carb Tripper.
Go to another aisle.
So I did!
Breakfast, a little yogurt, blueberries and almonds.
Much healthier!
........
I hope you all have a day making good choices
and may you have 
Your Best Day Ever!

  4. HI CINNER_\

    I love pie w/rhubarb and strawberries - it is my son's favorite. Amazing willpower on your breakfast choice. wow.

    I am still hurting - went to the Doc's - got two cordizone shots in my knee. OUCH!! He sid he can't find anything structural and is most likety a tendinitis - if I am not better by tomorrow he will do x-rays - I hope I feel relief tomorrow and just continue to heal from there.

    So I guess I made a good choice by going to the doctors today. :-)
    Love you

  8. You have more will power than I did today. It was fresh peach galette, and I ate two pieces! Fortunately, I had made it myself, with far less sugar than a bakery pastry would have, and whole wheat flour in the crust. Still, a lot of calories, since I used butter too. Oh well. I worked plenty hard today and burned most of the extras off. I'll have to do more tomorrow to burn the rest.

    We try not to buy goodies anymore, though we give in to temptation now and then. Requiring ourselves to make our own has cut down our indulgent factor quite a bit.
