The Return Of The Cinnamon Bread

I had blogged at the end of February about a missed opportunity to snag a free loaf of whole wheat cinnamon roll bread from Great Harvest and how sad I was.  This last Thursday I finally redeemed my filled punch card for my free loaf.  Yeah!

I was pretty sure this was a bad idea; however I picked up the free loaf anyway.  I also had a slice of the bread from their sample cutting board when I was in there.  I decided if I was going to have anymore bread it needed to be along with my breakfast meal.  For a few days that bread sat there on the counter and taunted me.

Friday I didn’t have time to make breakfast at home due to my nail appointment and Ladies Happy Hour afterwards.  Saturday was the first opportunity to enjoy a slice of this delicious cinnamon/sugar bread.  I toasted a large thick slice and spread some butter on it.  I ate my toast alongside scrambled eggs and two slices of Kirkland cooked bacon.  It was heavenly.

 

I really WANTED another slice but knew I didn’t NEED another slice.  So I planned to have another slice along with breakfast on Sunday.

 

When I got home from work this morning Kenyon told me he owed me some cinnamon bread.  He had eaten half the loaf.  I told him there was no need to replace it and he actually helped me in that there was less to eat.  That is teamwork!

 

I had the same breakfast as yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed another large thick slice of bread with a little butter.  I again wanted more but resisted.  It is hard to rationalize having more just because I want it.  Sometimes we don’t always get what we want.

I was just offered a frosty from Wendy’s as my supervisor is making a food run there.  I declined.  I really need to say no to myself more.
