Bad start

Okay, I stopped at Starbucks this morning with the intent of only getting my tall, non-fat, no-whip mocha. Simple enough, right? I forgot to bring my instant oatmeal to work, but I did have some delicious-looking blueberries with me. Well, I came out of Starbucks with my mocha.....and, a slice of low-fat blueberry coffee cake. Doh!

7 points!

Yes, the LOWFAT coffee cake has 10 grams of fat...you don't want to know how many grams are in the regular coffee cake. And don't get me started on the "No Sugar Added Banana Nut Cake".....470 calories & 27 grams of fat. Honestly, you're better off having a Croissant! Really! Here's the nutritional guide for Starbucks here. This is why I just need to steer clear of that place all together. On a happier note, I did steer clear of the breakfast tacos at work this morning. Normally, I would have Starbucks and help myself to a taco too. Gee, no wonder I couldn't get the weight off.

I hate when I'm at a place like Starbucks and there are no good food options. I'm glad I'm not the only person who runs but also still has to watch her weight. When I line up at a race, I always feel like such a moose. It's funny, though, I always beat at least a few girls who are thinner than me.
