Every year around this time they come out. You can't resist. Girl Scouts are the workers of the devil himself. They come into your neighborhood, into your job and sell crack in the guise of Thin Mints and Tag-A-Longs. This year I bought 3 boxes: 2 of the Daisy Go Rounds (100 calorie packs) and 1 Thin Mints. In the past, I could down two boxes of Thin Mints without blinking. I stared at my boxes wondering "what the hell was I thinking?! I ordered THIN MINTS!?!" Luckily some of my co-workers also ordered crack and I had one. I gave the box I purchased to my boyfriend to give to his co-workers and keep them out of our apartment. Yes, he's the mule and I'm the pusher now. I managed to get through this year only eating one Thin Mint.
I only bought the three boxes but let me tell you, these minions of Beelzebub are everywhere! Grocery stores, gas stations, every street corner! Ooooh and let me tell you how their eyes light up when Jovian and I walk in their direction. They think they've hit the jackpot! But I say "Back Mephistopheles!! I will not give in to the temptation of your chocolaty minty goodness!!"
I have had a little help with this Girl Scout season. Weight Watchers 2 point Chocolate Mint Bars. They're super duper expensive so I know I'll be very conservative in my snacking and they squash that Thin Mint craving.
I managed to lose 1.6 pounds this week putting me at 244.8. Goals this week: exercise even more, drink more water and more sleep. Hmmmm how am I going to manage ALL THAT!? :)

yes the little minions are out all over the place..
I have thus far managed to sidestep a few but that usually means walking all the way around the parking lot and using the farthest door from the store......

I did order some but the ones we have in our possession are all chocolate and that's what I gave up for Lent so I haven't touched any yet. I had planned on changing my eating ways by stopping the sugar but I have been failing miserably lately. I had to blow off WW last week to do errands for Rick's surprise party so tonight I have to weigh in and I'm not sure what's going to show up but I'm sure it won't be pretty! Need to get back into my routine quickly. Ugh...
I was just thinking about Girl Scout Cookies...and wondering what age Mila was going to start bring them into our house. I remember working in the office and having at least 2 dads bring the order forms in. Gotta get at least 1 from each, right? Thankfully this year I've dodged the bullet...I think...I'll ask Denis and see if he folded at work. :)
