It's raining girl scout cookies

I've been eating very well lately, exercising more, and am only 10 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. I was even able to resist the ultimate temptation and not eat a single girl scout cookie that Alex bought a few weeks ago. Size 4, here I come!  But, I made one mistake....

A few days ago, I told my husband that if I came across a box of thin mints, I would break my diet and eat them.  I thought the chances of that happening were slim to none, since I had not seen the usual sale of girl scout cookies outside the grocery store this year.

But then, last night when I went to the grocery store, there they were....and they had only two boxes of thin mints left!  In my moment of weakness, I bought them.  And, I have a rule that I always buy at least one box from girl scouts.  (long story short: I was traumatized as a young girl when I was in the girl scouts....something to do with being very shy and having to hold a cheesy sign my dad made about "the world ending tomorrow, so buy my girl scout cookies"...)

So, needless to say, I had girl scout cookies for breakfast this morning.  But, I'm about to head to the gym for spinning and then play soccer.  I think I've minimized the damage done.

But then, five minutes ago, my doorbell rang and it was my neighbor's 4 yr old girl.  Holding a box of thin mints.  Telling me to take them because her mom said they couldn't eat anymore.  I couldn't say no and make her cry, so I took them.

Hmmm, do I eat them, or do I pass them off to another unsuspecting mom in my neighborhood????
