Here’s an update on my weight loss journey – during thisweek of Valentine’s Day, I’ve completely blown my diet. Yep, I made beef filetand lobster tails for my sweetie on Valentine’s Day, we had a potluck at mywomen’s Bible study group, and then I made this recipe for a yummy dessert toshare with my husband.
The worst part of all that? This yummy dessert. It’sdeceptively simple to make, with only 4 or 5 ingredients, but I’m addicted to thebars (I got the recipe from the Spark People website so I thought it would besomewhat healthful and not bad on calories). I mean literally, I just can’tmuster enough self-control to stay away from them. So…I’ve gained back 1 pound,which isn’t too bad, overall. My goal now is to get rid of the remainingchocolate bars and get back on track. And I will never, ever make these barsagain while I’m trying to watch my weight!
Try making these bars and tell me if they are addictive as Ithink they are…
