Amarantha, as far a lo-cal or lo-fat pie crust, I use Lite butter when making pie crust. Land 'O Lakes makes it--it's butter with half the fat removed somehow. It's really good. OR you could even used grated potatoes---you can buy them already grated in the dairy section of most supermarkets; I think the brand is 'Simply Potatoes'.

That's a good way to do it, Anagram, posting instead of jotting. I find I use my spreadsheet throughout the day if I'm home and it's loads easier than writing things down.

Ok, in the interest of full disclosure here, I have to report that at approximately 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, long after posting my report, the binge got into the house and attacked me with my HEALTHY EFL food. It was so fast and furious, I didn't even notice how much I had and didn't log anything. So I'm zeroing out that day on my spreadsheet and moving forward! At least it wasn't those dang pb cups!!! Damage reported below in red!

I think that Im getting over my 'falling apart' thing. My back feels better, my knee feels better, I can breathe better. It's a beautiful thing!

Has everyone noticed that 3FC has the nutritional info from Starbucks? Check it out. Their whipped cream must be from the infernal dairies of ****! It really adds a lot of calories and fat---I'll never have it again, The whipped cream, that is. I'll have my ultra-sweet frappicino straight, please!

I launched myself so hard off the wagon that I swear I broke my

Fondue restaurant last night. Cheese fondue followed by fondue followed by chocolate fondue. Plus two martinis - one raspberry one chocolate. I have no idea what the nutritional value is of all this stuff, but I imagine that it was approximately a billion calories.

I had fun though.
