When the Golden Arches call....

So tonight, I'm in the pool, taking my water aerobics class. I am working hard, sweating - if that is possible. And once again I did not plan my food very well and I came to the class hungry!

So I'm working away and as I look over the heads of my classmates, through the pool house windows, all I see is the sun reflecting off of the McDonald's Golden Arches. The whole sign was brilliant, bright and gold and it was beckoning me to come..."Come and part take of my golden deliciousness"...No it did not really say that, but it was pretty convincing.

Well I know that I have a healthy dinner at home, but I thought, maybe...just maybe....I could get me a little treat. I just happened to have some bucks in my purse, so this would be a perfect opportunity to go through the drive thru, get a burger & fries and eat it all, by the time I got home.

It was my perfect opportunity. Well the arches were beckoning, what would you do?

And I had money....I never have money!!!

Nobody would know!!!

It's a perfect plan...

What would you do????

WELL I WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY UNHAPPY WITH MYSELF IF I SPOILED MY 6 MONTH SABBATICAL FROM FAST FOOD!!!

So I made the right choice! I decided to go see my trainer who was manning a booth at our Tuesday Night - Farmer's Market. She was very pleased that I made the right decision and so was I!!

Instead of buying me some misery, I decided to treat myself to some lovely and delicious, FRESH - JUST PICKED strawberries.

Victory over temptation!

Have you been able to resist temptations like this? I hope you do!!!

Hugs!!
