Happy Almost Weekend, my Fancy Followers!

Exercise is going well...Food not so much!

I seem to have latched on to more carbs this week and up the Idiot Box goes for me. Last weekend, while kayaking, we stopped at our friend's farm and picked home grown fresh corn. Fresh corn is not a problem for me - though corn in other forms can be at times.

I think the corn just set me off on a little "carb monster" trip this early part of the week - I had bread yesterday - almost never do that!

I understand CICO and one would assume it would not matter - BUT it does matter the quality of what I eat. Too many carbs just process in to weight gain.

SO, really want to eat clean today and get those carb grams lowered again. Thank you - rant over!

Note to self: 50-60%/30-40%/10-15%
