Sugar addict

I am rather perplexed as to how I can pass up bread, and chocolate candies, and yet- real desserts- I will go to great lengths to add. This week has been overly stressful, and my go to stress has been Pies, gooey concoctions of whipped peanut butter surrounded by a rich chocolate icing and cakes. On Wednesday I purchased a slice of sweet potato pie. It was at work, and the cafeteria was selling home made sweet potato pie for 65 cents. I found that in my car. I took my time and savored every single morsel. Let me tell you if I could have scoured for more change, I would have gone back for seconds. I don't believe they sold out- so today is a second chance. Just kidding- budget won't allow. However I think I have found a healthier substitute. Target has come out with wonderful fat free yogurts with flavors such as Boston cream pie, carrot cake and strawberry cheesecake, Carmel apples...those are the ones that I tried. They are low in carbs,and no fat. The taste is very flavor full, and creamy. On the Carmel apples, I add 1/4 cup of granola- and wow...carmelishous. It has the tang of Granny smith apples, Carmel, and with the granola almost like a apple crunch pie.
I have not been on my bike, but lots of walking and still trying to get to that 100 ounces of water.
