Day 3, No Dark Chocolate

It was becoming quite a habit. Even though it was 72 percent cacao or more--lower in sugar--I ate more of it than I should have.

For today, my snack choices are plain yogurt with fruit or nuts; cashews; or Grape-nuts cereal with organic whole milk and a splash of half and half.

And now that Vesta Chocolate is in town, with that dark, dark super chic cupful made with oat milk, yikes. I hereby pledge to switch to their carefully crafted lattes. I can do that!

TCOY

1. Communicated with Pats. Important conversation.

3. Had a healthy snack from home--plain Greek yogurt and a banana.
4. Spaghetti squash with homemade turkey Bolognese, A nice pour of red wine into the pot made the sauce extra good. [Recipe from my friend Rach.]
5. Only slept 6 hours last night. Bed soon.
