Me too. I used the exact same amount. Now it's a half tsp of truvia and fat free half and half. Yesterday, I didn't even drink any!

Also, I never thought I would be consistent with tracking calories but it's been 95 days! (Only one I missed was on a camping retreat where we didn't have cell phone service. I guessed my calories and ran my butt off playing basketball and ultimate frisbee.)

I never thought I would be able to keep my husband on it with me.

I never thought I would own exercise equipment again after the treadmill incident of '04.

What time do you go to sleep? I got up at 5:15 on Monday and Tuesday to but today I was just too exhausted.

I never thought I could run in the store for just for bananas.
I never thought I'd enjoying cooking and taking care of myself.
I never thought I'd weigh less than my mother and fit into her too tight clothes.
I never thought I could do this, but thanks to MFP I am.
