I’m still here – letting Meagan kick my butt at the wee hours of the morning, only to trudge back home to quickly devour espresso. Sticking to calorie counting can be difficult, but yesterday I was going particularly well and was very proud of myself. Unfortunately, my husband decided to do something really sweet…literally.

He came home with donuts last night, proud he had thought to quench my sweet tooth before the craving hit. Unfortunately, that meant I got to stare at a bag of Shipley’s donuts all night…and come home starving from my workout this morning to once again see those Shipley’s donuts. Fortunately, the outcome of the Battle of the Donuts is Ashleigh: 1, Food: 0.
