Still Going Strong

So it's been almost a week since I've written anything on here but it's because not too much has changed in the past week. It's been pretty busy so I haven't had too much time to exercise unfortunately but I've been squeezing it in wherever I can and still trying to maintain healthy eating habits. Thanks to Rachel and Jessica who gave me some great tips on yummy things to try when I get my sweet tooth cravings. I've found a couple things myself which seem to work fairly well.

McCain Chocolate cakes are fantastic and for 1/4 of the cake (which is WAY more then I eat) it's less calories then most chocolate bars.

Jello Chocolate Mouse is only 35 calories for a quarter cup.

I'm also loving black berries and blue berries, they are so fresh and delicious.

 Today I ate a couple things I shouldn't have (I was having a rough day, and the last few weeks have been fairly stressful) so I stopped at Timmies and tried there new caramel cafe mocha, which is absolutely delicious and for a large is 180 calories... but I only drank 3/4 of it so it wasn't too bad. I also did some baking and had a small taste of my mini cupcakes with buttercream icing and finally a sugar cookie. So I can't say I did that great today but in the end i am still about 800 calories short of my daily amount. Now i know being short on calories by that much isn't good at all especially since the bulk of the calories I had weren't good for me my goal this week is to focus more on healthier eating and not just staying below the calorie intake.
