Housewarming Party

So my great friend Amber moved out of her basement apartment last weekend, and decided to throw a little housewarming party this weekend. She and her roomate found the cutest house in Salt Lake City. It was built in the 1930's and has been remodeled. I fell in love with it! ( I have a thing for old-fashioned architecture). It was yellow on the outside with a red front door!

As with any party that Brandon and I are invited to I always have the thought of "what kinds of food with be there?" and "will I have the self-control not to over indulge?"

Well, we got there and there was just tons of really good finger foods. There was Nacho Cheese Durritos, cheese, Wheat Thins, grapes, chocolate, dips of all kinds, biscotti breads, etc. Well the first problem was thinking to myself that I could just grab a handful of Nacho Cheese Durritos and be fine with it. Boy was I wrong! I went back 3 or 4 times to get more chips, cheese, and Wheat Thins. And I helped myself to 5 pieces of chocolate. But one thing I didn't touch was the punch! I just KNEW it was packed full of sugar. If I am going to chow down on carbs, it is going to be good food, and not anything sugary to drink. I opted out of the punch and went with the Diet Dr Pepper I had drank on the way down from Ogden.

I ate way too much, but at least it was on yummies and not punch. I gave myself my insulin and called it good. And for once, even though I exercised NO self-control, I woke up feeling really good today.
