not the cake
I had a massive failure the other night. And it involved cake. I am the type of girl who prefers the icing over the cake. Many a cakes throughout my youth and my life have been the victim of my licking the icing off and hope no one notices antics.
Until that damn juice cleanse.
I have been feeling great since the big cleanse. My affection for all things sweet and sugary has been replaced by a craving for juicy fruits. Bananas, mango's, acai.... name it. So at work the other night when my friend Janet and I were presented with a birthday cake (our birthdays are 3 days apart).... I thought.... well I haven't had cake in a long time, and there is always time for Birthday cake!
So I cut myself a slice with a lot of frosting.
I took the first bite and it was heaven.
The second one... notsomuch. I looked at where the cake was from. You'd be hard pressed to find a bad cake from Wegmans. I took another bite. I could eat no more. Where are my apples?
Horrified at my failure I ate a piece of sponge candy. Chocolate was sure to cure.... again no dice. Tasted awful. Tasted sweet and artificial.
My GAWD SAY THIS ISN'T SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was this really form the cleanse? I don't know. There are no big scientific studies to even prove a cleanse is beneficial. It may very well be mental over physical, but in the same breath that I was horrified at myself..... I was happy about it.
Except I don't know what to do about my birthday on Sunday. A birthday with no cake?
Oh dear lord. I don't know what we will do. Stay tuned.

I have pumpkin pie for my birthday every year. My mom even use to put candles in the pie. (My birthday is very close to Thanksgiving, so I guess it's not THAT weird, right? ;)
Oh no, Mary. I am all about the frosting, too. Maybe you need a cheesecake with all kinds of frsh fruit on top.
Carrot cake cupcake w/ cream cheese frosting-it's a veggie right?
Mary! I don't know weather to laugh or cry! As a self-confessed sheet cake lover, I am appalled. But - as someone who is watching her weight in the beginning of training, I am green with envy. :) Maybe if I go on the juice program, I can squash my addiction, er, love of sheet cake. No - I love it too much to give it up. :) Good luck with that one. I dont really know what else to say. ELF would be appalled!
Mary! We must eat cake. One of our food groups. I have eaten several pieces of cake since my bday and then the twins' yesterday....NOT my favorite, but the cake yesterday was DREAMY for some reason? Anyway, enjoy!!!!
so what happened? I wish that would happen to me. I could eat cake for every meal- birthday or no.
