Have Your Cake & Eat It, Too!

Pumpkin Roll!
If you take two steps forward and one step back, you’re still getting someplace.
Don't give up the moment you slip up. Press on!  



This quote in Motivation to Live Well today came at a very good time for me.  I DID slip up a time or two this past week.  Sugar IS my nemesis!  A discussion about this with Myra earlier this week helped strengthen my resolve to control my intake of sugar.  I am determined to maintain the weight I am currently enjoying if I have to write and remind myself here EVERY week!

That being said, I DID enjoy a piece (or two) of the pumpkin roll I purchased from my favorite Amish baker and served at a small gathering we hosted Saturday night.  I ate it during my Fast-5 "window--so counted myself successful while enjoying a special treat.  Just proof that you CAN have your cake and eat it, too!

  1. I have four pumpkin rolls to make this week and another two on the weekend. I'll TRY to stay out of them. Luckily only one will actually stay at my house!

  2. I have decided that nothing good comes from eating sugar. Have you tried "tweaking" the recipe yourself and make a lower carb version? Take care.

    1. No, I haven't. I only eat it once a year and since I'm not a "baker" by habit or interest, I don't see the necessity :)
