If that doesn’t test your willpower, I don’t know what will!
I finally succumbed to the tormenting cake a little before lunch (an appetizer, if you will).
Let me just say that Publix cakes (even ones that are a day old) trump any salad.
Even this one, which was highly delicious:
Salad < Cake
In the mix:
- Spinach
- Broccoli slaw
- Green peppers
- Leftover roasted asparagus
- Kraft light Asian toasted sesame dressing
For some protein, I also enjoyed a cup of plain Dannon Greek yogurt that I sweetened with a scoop of instant vanilla pudding mix.

After lunch I had another small slice of cake.
And you know what? Even after eating two pieces, the dang cake is still staring at me. I think once I give into my sweet tooth, it has a little party and then wants the party to continue all day long.
Tonight
Ryan and I have some serious wedding-related plans this evening!
We’re heading to the courthouse to get our marriage license and then heading over to the jeweler to pick up our wedding bands!!!
I can’t wait to wear mine, but I’m even more excited to see Ryan wear his. Kinda cool!

Great looking salad. It’s not easy to say no to cake when it’s sitting right there like that. Enjoy your evening plans with Ryan sounds like a great night!
Wedding bands!!!!! So exciting!! 😀 It’s only like 3 weeks now right?!?! OMG- so crazy! It’s YOUR month 😀
30 daysssssssssss! we’re in full-on wedding MODE!
Oh! Weddings are my favorite!!! I would get married over and over and over again! Enjoy all the planning and engagement, it will zoom by 😉
Very exciting! Enjoy your festivities – the wedding is just around the corner now. 🙂
girl, you are good with the self-control…me + cake = zero restraint 🙂
Wow I would have eaten the cake for breakfast. Cake is totally acceptable for breakfast. That is why we eat pancakes. 🙂
I feel ya on the cake. I bought myself some Hershey’s kisses for tomorrow, and I can’t stop thinking about eating them now, even though I have exceeded my daily sugar allotment by a lot. Grr.
That salad looks awesome! All of my favorite greens.
Haha! Publix cake is definitely the best!
I’m still getting used to Mark wearing a wedding band. He never wore jewelry of any kind,so it’s strange, yet awesome, to see him wearing some bling. 🙂
i think that’s why i’m so excited about it. ryan’s very much of a minimalist, so i think it will be neat!
Props to you for making it from 9 am to right before lunch! I would probably have caved around 10. 🙂
Sometimes you just need a little bite of whatever you are craving to satisfy your sweet tooth, otherwise you’ll just keep thinking about it!
I totally agree that if I have sweets earlier in the day, I tend to crave them allllll day long!
Delicious looking salad! YUM!!
Have a great evening with Ryan. Getting your marriage license is always exciting…and those rings are beautiful.
thank you, lynn!
I love seeing Jason’s ring — its like it always belonged there 🙂
Have fun getting your license and all that — 30 days, wow that is coming up quick!!
Mmm, Publix’s cakes are SO good!
he he he… we’ve got cake in the office, too… gotta love these days! 🙂
You have A LOT of willpower. I would have to move it, or put something up to block it… and even then, that might not help! lol Congrats on getting your rings!
That’s so exciting about the rings and the license!
As for the cake… I know EXACTLY what you mean. My sweet tooth doesn’t stop once it should be satisfied!
I have a chocolate truffle from a gourmet chocolate shop sitting on my desk right now so I know exactly how you feel! I’m hoping it will make it home to Isaac, but we shall see. 😉
Have fun wedding planning tonight!
Wow, so exciting about the marriage license and wedding bands!!!
I too had office birthday cake today 🙂 Yummmmm!!!
I LOVE Publix cakes!! We don’t have Publix in Alaska, and I miss it!
i would not be able to resist. in fact, someone brought mint filled oreos and i’ve already inhaled about 4…or 5…
I am totally the same way when it comes to sweets. If I give in to a little, my brain wants more more more!
