Day 7, Cookie-less this year

Every year around this time, we generally answer the door to find a Girl Scout or Brownie taking orders for everyone's favorite - Girl Scout cookies.  This year they are introducing a new lemony one that is covered in powdered sugar and sounds delish to me. However, this year there will be no cookies ordered for this house as we are ardently trying to unload the lard that has somehow found itself stuck to tummies and derrieres. So I am beginning to practice saying No. No thank-you, not this year. And I'm not falling for,"You know these cookies freeze very well and you can eat them when you are off of your diet". I bought into that once before and discovered that frozen thin mints are the bomb!
Tomorrow is D-day. We have been eating better, no booze, not even a glass of wine, and we have taken a brisk walk for 6 out of the 7 days. Maybe if miraculously I have lost more than my hubby, maybe just maybe it wouldn't be too bad to order the new Lemon cookies, just sayin'.

January 7, 2012: I am happy that the weather is absolutely gorgeous here today, perfect weather for taking a brisk walk with hubby.
