Ok, so maybe this doesn't go with my grand scheme...

I'm currently hoping to lose 15 pounds by the end of the year, at which time I'll rewards myself with some badly needed new clothes. I haven't formally started a diet or an exercise program, but I am trying to eat better & I'm hoping to start walking around the neighborhood a few times a week, starting this week. Maybe, just maybe, I'll join up with a local gym. I know I definitely need to do something, as I can't deal with this excess weight much longer.

Anyway for the past week or so, most mornings I'll eat a container of Yogurt & a fruit cup, and have a bottled water for my breakfast - as I know that the Blueberry Muffin & Ice Tea that I'd rather have would only pack on the calories & pounds. But there are some mornings that I just can't resist the fresh pastries that await me in the cafe at work, such as the chocolate croissant that was calling my name this morning, which looked very similar to this:


I wouldn't have been so tempted if I the person in front of me in line at the cafe hadn't bought one - it looked so fresh & smelled so good. So rather than resist the temptation & sulk around the rest of the day, wishing I had eaten the delicacy, I caved in...

And you know what? It was damn good...
