exercise and cookies

Guys.

I have a serious problem.

Serious!

Today I did a very typical Abby thing.  (Almost embarassing to admit...)

I worked out for an hour during Riley's nap.  (Go Me!)

I then, immediately afterwards, baked cookies.

And ate about six straight from the oven.  (No, I'm not kidding.)

I even burnt my tongue because I couldn't get to them fast enough.  (Idiot.)

Not just any cookies (like my "healthier" versions)...

These babies - Dark Chocolate Chip Comfort Cookies.

They have - yes, lots of chocolate in them.  And, peanut butter.  Need I say more?

notice I'm eating as I take pics...one bite, two bites...you get the point

Dang man.  These are good!

Too good.

Too naughty.

Ugh.  I worked out and then I ate cookies. 

Somehow, the two just don't go well together.

Seriously.  One of these days I need to wake up and get on the ball.  I know that if I cut out (some) sugar that I'd probably see better weight loss results.  Yes?  Yeah.  A no brainer.

I've always said I'd rather work out than diet.  And it's completely true.  I'd rather train and run a marathon before I diet.  I cannot.  Cannot.  Cut out certain foods.  I'd go mental.  I am just thinking about it.

But I could at least cut back from five, to say...two cookies in a day?  That may help.

So, what did I do after Riley woke up from her nap today?  I went for a walk.  (I'm lucky my daughter loves going outside, in the stroller!)  I needed to burn more calories, and walk off some of the "ugh" feeling.  Those "comfort" cookies were making me feel guilty all day.

I didn't even eat dinner because I felt so ill.  You'd think this would teach me a lesson, huh? 

Sorry to say, it won't.  I may not do it again tomorrow - but next week, ummm, probably.

Anyway, I immediately froze all of the cookies - after inhaling several straight from the oven.

Tomorrow will be better.  I think...

I need help!
