    I don't like pumpkin anything... hopefully a few dark chocolate covered almonds will help with the temptations of other sweets. My sweet tooth isn't too big (most of the time)... my main problem is food.

    I have been struggling this past year loosing 5 lbs and gaining it back. I walk a lot during the day but defiantly need to excercise more (joining a gym tonight!). My biggest downfall is going out with my friend or boyfriend when everyone is having cocktails and foods such as nachos, chicken fingers, etc. or afterwork! Any one have good suggestions on how to survive that? I have a trip coming up and my 30th birthday 4 months away and want to look and feel my best for that!
    Thank you!!

    I just had tried this recipe today for breakfast, and it was delicious! It took an hour to cook, so I made it last night to reheat all week.
