Just a quick vent: Vending machines at work are good about offering bottled water but they don’t offer very good snacking options.

Sigh, not a good day to forget the celery and carrots.

My bunny and egg cakes!

My co-workers are enjoying the post-Lent Ginger. I brought them chocolate peanut-butter cupcakes.

Sunday was a baking day. I remembered how much I really like making cakes and that it takes a lot of time, especially if cupcakes are involved. It leaves a gal too tired to really enjoy putting on the icing. I even bought the cheater icing.

The cupcakes were well worth the wait. Oh sooo good and fulfilling. And I will enjoy them this week.

It was strange that after one cupcake that I didn’t want another. I made them kind of small so a person could have more than one, if they were so inclined. One was just enough.

Today, at work, they are not far away but I don’t want one.

I think my sweet tooth may finally be under control and it will be easier not to want them all of the time.

As for Lent, I only had sweets twice. Both kind of special exceptions: Mr. X’s birthday and a weekend I spent with him in Ashland when he was working in that area. Not too shabby.

So, how do you guys change your snacking habits? How do you replace that favorite snack, like a cookie, bag of chips or a popcorn?

So I skipped breakfast today…yeah, I generally try not to do that because it isn’t healthy for me.

But I did. And about noon, I was really hungry. And to make matters worse, I was craving a burger and fries and coke from a fast food restaurant.

It was hard to say no to the craving since I haven’t had anything to eat and I will probably have a pretty light meal tonight.

But…I didn’t cave. I got a turkey sub with provolone, tomatoes and pickles. My treat, a reward for not having a burger, was getting grapefruit juice.

I’m pretty proud of myself. I said no to fast food today.
