Small Achievements add up!

Other than brownies, my other love is Boston Cream Pie.  (Which my friend Susan tells me is all wrong - there's nothing 'pie' about Boston Cream Pie.  I told her that it's shaped like a "Pie" and that was all that it needed to be!)  Anyhow.  I love Boston Cream Pie Donuts from Dunkin Donuts.  There's just something about the gooey-ness and the yummy flavors.  Ohhhh lala!  But with my new way of life, I'm not going that way.  At least not until I'm well over the hump of not looking back to the weight I was.  And even though Boston Cream Pie Donuts are great, it's a real Pie that I love.  My Mom used to make these Dinette cakes with the filling inside and the fudgey frosting on top.  Yum, yum, yum!

OK, so until I figure out how to low-cal the Dinette cake concotion, I found something to satiate my donut lust.  Holey Donuts.  Yup, a company called Holey Donuts.  http://www.holeydonuts.net/ Last week, I told Patrick (my husband for those who aren't aware) that I was going to place a small order for Boston Cream Pie donuts from them. I was craving a sweet snack and I thought that those would fit the bill. 

Imagine my surprise when I get a message in my inbox telling me they are having FREE Shipping!  YAH!  So, Susan and I placed an order and they came TODAY!!!!  Yup, TODAY!!!1

I didn't open the big box until Susan got here - and some of my donut holes were missing from the order (we ordered a double batch 1 for her and 1 for me and I bet they didn't even notice) but I received my Boston Cream Pie Donuts!  It's 4 points for one of these donuts.  And I enjoyed every single point!  And I was so good, I only ate one and put the rest in the freezer for another day!  Can you believe it?  I did!

These donuts are huge, delicious and while I took a picture to post, they really look exactly as they do on the website.  (http://www.holeydonuts.net/) The donut holes (I let Susan take home the ones we received) looked exactly the same and so didn't the Coconut Cream Pie donuts I got too!

So, I'm excited.  Not only do I have some health(ier) snacks for another time but I didn't eat them all!  Nope, I didn't even sneak a second!  Way to go, ME!

Weigh in is on Friday and I'm feeling confident.  I'm looking at a 2 pound loss for sure! -even with my donut!
