Skinny Cow

Okay, so I've found my new sugar-free addiction. Skinny Cow sugar-free ice cream sandwiches are the most delicious, low-cal, no sugar treats I've ever tasted. Maybe it's just because I haven't had sweet treats in nine days now, but I'm sold. I'm a fan. I can't recommend them highly enough. Sure, there's probably some chemicals in there that, in a perfect world, I would want to avoid entirely. But right now, I'm more concerned with not breaking my Sugar Ban.

In regards to alcohol, I think I have decided that once a week, I am allowed one glass of wine. That seems fair. That seems moderate...enough. Because I'm not gonna lie; I like getting tipsy. I don't find that fact problematic; I simply choose to believe that I'm a moderate hedonist. Healthy, balanced living can't always feel like deprivation.

I Cracked

I totally had two glasses of white wine tonight, fireside, with my friend Emily who is preparing to move to Hawaii and leave me in charge of her darling home, her two funny little kitties, and her GIANT St. Bernard.

I did, however, pass over the ice cream and homemade apple pie earlier in the day.

I'm trying not to feel too guilty about the wine, but part of me feels like I caved too soon. The other part of me says, you're a friggin adult. So have a glass of wine every now and then...just not every day.

Hmph. Tomorrow is another day.
