Week Four: Sometimes the Tasty Cakes and Wine Win

This wasn't the finest week in our families journey to healthy lifestyles and svelte bodies. For a few of us - this week the Tasty Cakes and wine won.

Someone who shall not be named fell off the Tasty Cake wagon. To hear her tell the story she fell off the wagon in a big way. Multiple packages of cakes in a single day.

The culprit.

Sometimes life gets the best of us and we have a bad day. Or even a bad week filled with TastyKakes and wine. Life happens. Sometimes the only cure for something that ails you is drowning your sorrow in flour and sugar and following it up with several glasses of wine. The TastyKake therapy plan.

The moral of the story is one week filled with TastyKakes isn't a deal breaker. You have to get back on the healthy plan wagon. That is what makes us tough bad ass life changers. We aren't going to let slip ups define our journey. Our TastyKake enthusiast popped right back on the healthy train. You know what? My money is on her to win the whole shebang. She is one tough chick.

While eating multiple packages of sugary goodness and downing a bottle of wine is no ones definition of healthy living, I also refuse to become someone that turns my nose up at anyone who enjoys an occasional dessert. I won't become some raw food nut who lectures my friends while waving a carrot stick at them. I plan to continue to enjoy eating. It is one of my favorite things to do. Sometimes I plan to enjoy it by having a piece of cake. Don't try and get in my way. You might lose a hand.

The plan is moderation. Everyday I will make the healthiest choices that I can. Once in a Blue Moon I will choose the cake and not feel guilty about it.

This weeks weigh in was at my house again this week - but it was hosted by Becky and Jer. They made some super slammin' beef tacos in the crock pot. Have I mentioned that the crock pot might possibly be the greatest invention since the light bulb? Seriously, try these tacos. You won't be sorry.

Becky also made a low calorie S'mores pie for desert. People drooled. She replaces the graham crackers with little graham cracker pie crusts which increased the quality of this dessert by at least 52%. I mean come on - who doesn't like tiny pies.

Next week is the Super Bowl. Stay tuned to find out if we survive the land mine of delicious deep fried football themed snacks.
