Cake

The worst part about working in an office with a variety of people is that they are always bringing in food they have made... now most people would see this as a plus. However, for someone who does not have the greatest metabolism, this is problematic. In addition to all the food being brought in, we also celebrate EVERYONE's birthday individually, and with cake, an amazing Bi-Lo cake with buttercream icing. So for the 30 something people who work here, that means about 30 cakes a year. That is more than two a month. Thankfully, we are trying to cut that down with only one cake a month and therefore today we had one cake. I couldn't resist. Plus, everyone makes you feel bad for not accepting cake. They start in with you are the young one, or you are skinny, or whatever false accusation they throw at you to entice you to join them in eating the cake. So I did, I caved, and it was good. So good, that I took a BIG piece. Not an end piece, but a BIG one. Then I proceeded to eat every bite... really I savored every bite. I will not think it was worth it when I hit the gym tonight and add an extra 30-45 minutes of cardio to try and work off even the smallest bit of the cake.

So, this is to say, although birthday cake is very good, it is the devil....
