Put the Cookie Down and Back Away Slowly

So just not that good.
This might be a lame attempt at awesomeness, but, today, after my meeting in Ankeny, I went to Jimmy John's to get some lunch.  I ordered the #2 Big John Unwich--roast beef, tomato, mayo, all wrapped up in lettuce, and it was delicious and only 210 calories. 

I also have a little problem when it comes to cookies.  I adore them in all shapes and sizes.  So, I bought a cookie too (oatmeal raisin, but still).  Here's where the awesomeness comes in.  When I went to eat said cookie, it was stale and kind of gross. 

So, I stopped eating the cookie.  I drove it all the way to Newton, where I left it on the treat table.  I also left the cupcakes that were already there on the table as well. 

I know this doesn't seem like a big deal, but my unawesome self would have proceeded to eat the cookie anyway, because, I can't be trusted with cookies, and eating it would have fulfilled some unspoken emotional need.  But today, I made the conscious decision that I didn't need that cookie. Only high quality cookies for this girl. 

In other news, I might do a gravel race in June, but, "wait, you don't have a gravel bike," you are thinking.  Or do I?  More details to follow.
