Thank you all for the support. So ended the week in failure but not huge ones. Old habits are hard to break!
No big food plans this weekend not sure what I want my treat to be. Will take it by ear.

My little girl's friends mom passed away a few weeks ago. How draining it is to mourn! I feel extra sensitive to that pain at the moment. I hope you get...

Jeez how many times will I have to start again? I have been calorie counting / binging for a while now getting nowhere fast. I do think it was good to see how many calories were in the foods I ate. I actually overestimate a lot on calorie content. So here I am. Ready for another go at this. I am aim...

Hi Ohlala, Funny about the cupcakes, that is exactly what I had and did not enjoy. I can totally agree about the fluffy chocolate deserts, and a few kinds of cookies I can get at Trader Joe's. I also like either dove ice cream bars, the double chocolate kind or Talenti Gelato. Not so good this week....

Back safe and sound from NYC had a great time. On Wednesday we literally walked 9 hours. Had a great time I don't feel I went overboard with the sweets, but discovered I don't enjoy some sweets as much as I used to. I actually was frusterated with that. Went to the farmers market this morning, then ...
