Do add the graham crackers, for only 1p+ the texture and deliciousness they add is totally worth it! Enjoy :)

A little weight update:

So I don't know if my scale is messing with me or what is happening but after a 2.6 pound gain last week I dropped 7.6 lbs on the scale this morning. I have been making really good food choices lately and I have been at a plateau for about a month so I think all my hard work finally caught up with me! I am going to go to the gym this weekend and a couple times next week to ensure these pounds stay off. Total weight loss to date: 32.2 pounds!!!! Just 17.8 pounds til goal, woooooooo!!!!!!!!!
