Back to the gym today. Been having a serious sweets craving and went into the chocolate shop in town after the gym. They usually have a display case where you can buy a single piece of chocolate. But I was told they don't do that any more. The clerk suggested I get one of the small bags of chocolate and just eat one at a time. She doesn't know me! Instead of saying 'no thanks' I bought a small packet of dark chocolate covered caramels. Doh!!! That small bag which I ate one after the other was 500 calories!

Horn_Of_Plenty on 04/18/2015:
ahh, you've got me craving beef!!! haven't had in in awhile, feeling like I almost want a....mcdonalds burger tonight. LOL. maybe just an egg fried with avocado on a wrap will satisfy me!
Didn't have any beef though - it was venison. But I do get occasional cravings for a steak. :)
Horn_Of_Plenty on 04/18/2015:
....and Happy Anniversary! I have been craving steak....I am gonna google why...see what i'm missing in my diet :)
Maybe just because it tastes so good?! :)
Horn_Of_Plenty on 04/19/2015:
Yes, I think you are right :) Sometimes beef hits the spot :)
