Blogger is a mess right now... I am missing at least one post to this blog now. I hope it comes back? I may have to go cut and paste it from Google Reader if Blogger can't get it back... Oh, well...
This week has been awful…
Unusual job stress, combined with major family stress resulted in me eating chocolate this week. Not a ridiculous amount by any stretch (chocolate on Sunday… chocolate on Monday). Two chocolate bars in a week do not equal pounds and pounds of unhealthy but I am still a little bit mad at myself. One of the things that I have really attempted to do in my recent fitness attempts is to deal with emotions in healthy ways. I have actually been super successful in this endeavor until this week.
Let me say, the chocolate tasted incredible. I don’t remember chocolate ever tasting as good as this chocolate and it was crappy cheap Hershey’s chocolate. Maybe it was the complete absence of milk chocolate for two months that made it soooo good… The aftereffects of the chocolate however were not so great.
I repented of the chocolate bars by burning them off on the elliptical machine and paid in other ways too. The sugar killed me. I felt cranky and tired after eating it. Maybe smaller amounts in the future would be alright or I should just stick with the dark stuff that is a bit more healthy and has a lot less sugar…
We so easily fall back into old patterns…

that's great.
Now, have you ever tried Chocolove brand chocolate bars? They are from (yes) tree-hugger Boulder CO (and they are wonderful good).
Raspberry and Cherry-Almond are my favorite.
