If you live in DC, you know about Georgetown Cupcakes.  You just can’t pass them up.  They are the most delicious cupcake I have ever eaten in my life.  Something about the creamy icing that gets you every time.  One look at this pic, and you can see why:

But today an unexpected intruder to my diet ran across my path like a cat on the Beltway–a FREE Georgetown cupcake.  My Metromix Producer Jason Adams celebrated his birthday today and was treated to a dozen cupcakes.  He offered one to me (several times), which was a cool gesture, but I resisted…and walked away.  Wow, that was tough.  I could have come back, but I didn’t.

So, what got me through the temptation? I knew I was going to blog about this experience.  Was I blogging about how I caved or how I resisted?   Tada!

Temptations will come and go all the time and when you least expect it, especially when you’re on a diet and thinking about the wrong foods every single minute.  I’m glad to have resisted, and when I get to my weight loss goal, my metabolism will be strong enought to treat myself to this cupcake (only one).
