Back On Track

Four days.....four pounds.  Four days of swimming....and I'm back down to my "fighting" weight.  You had to be either highly disciplined or crazy to go swimming this morning when the temperature was four degrees; bitter cold!!  Especially since Donaldo has had a cold all week and I had to go MYSELF :( 
We just had a coffee break with our new snack; two dates stuffed with peanut butter.  Donaldo's mom used to make these and then dipped them in powdered sugar.  I skipped the powdered sugar.  Tonight for dessert, I am going to bake some pineapple with coconut which will toast the coconut quite nicely.  I might add a tad of rum for taste :)

Dates have 29 carbs for 2 or 3. Mine are pretty big from Costco. There are 2 grams of fiber for a serving of 2-3 and 27 grams of natural sugar. I guess kind of high for a diabetic. There is a alot of potassium and 110 calories.
