Mardi Gras King Cake - mmmmm

paigehooha

So my Dad sent me 3 King Cakes from New Orleans in honor of the holiday. I opened one to give my kiddos a bite of their first King Cake last night, looked up the calories and - loandbehold! - I could afford to have a slice. Talk about a happy day! And I woke up today a half-pound lighter. For me it's the little things. I'm OK with eating well now. I'm over the hump of wanting Taco Bueno every 5 minutes. When I crave I generally eat what I'm craving in some format and in moderation. But the fact I was able to eat 'the real thing' yesterday - the Gambino's King Cake from my hometown and not mess up my weight loss plan?? A good day. Kinda like the day I discovered a single Tootsie roll pop has only 60 calories and completely solves any sweet tooth I can muster

Happy Sunday!
