Tuesday, SUCCESS! Most of the city I work in lost power for several hours today. Interestingly, most people at the theatre seemed to think this meant it was time to snack.

But you also mentioned the day before being an unusually big day for food and alcohol for your friends party -- so your weigh in probably got you on an unusually high day for the month.

I agree with you both -- anything from a bakery is good! Hamentashen is a jewish baked good -- basically a cross between a pastry and cookie with fruit filling. It's traditionally made for the (not very important) holiday, Purim, which happens to be this weekend. I've eaten way too much and really w...

It really is! They've really helped me totally turn around my exercise pattern. It's brilliant for getting rid of the excuses/problems of not being light enough, not being warm/cool/not raining/etc to go outside without me having to try and afford a gym.
