Confession time! I went to spend the weekend with my dad and to also pick sweet (bing) cherries for friends and family. I gained a 1/2 pound and I'm excited that it wasn't more. Well, eating at my dad's house was much worse than eating out. My dad loves to cook so he had prepared a homemade chocolate pie AND fresh apricot cobbler. I ate small portions of both desserts because he would have had his feelings hurt if I had eaten none. I also gave in (ok, I scarfed) to the cherry temptation and totally scrapped my running for 3 days. So in one fell swoop I broke my chocolate/caffeine/processed sugar fast. I'm amazed how easy it is to slip back into old habits . Ok, I'm back home now and plan to pick up where I left off. Hopefully, next week that extra stuff will have jiggled off of me.
