Well I didn't do that great today. I ate a lot of pie. I need to stick to single or double serving desserts. That is why I love mug cakes so much. I split this 2 serving brownie with my husband after dinner. It was very chocolaty. Next time I will skip the chocolate square on top. I wonder if there's any low carb ice cream at a store near me. That would have taken it to a whole other level. I bought a lot of meat at the store tonight. I'm really going to quit the sweets especially since the wedding is in two weeks.
