There was an article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday on "Beyond Trans Fats: What You Need To Know About Restaurant Dining." It is by Tara Parker-Pope.
I often walk down to the junction and reward myself with a latte and a "goodie" at Starbucks. I wonder why I haven't been losing weight or even maintaining. I read here that "snacks and drinks often add up to almost a full day's worth of calories." "A Grand Latte (260 calories) and slice of crumb cake (670 calories) from Starbucks may sound like a quick snack, but it's loaded with 930 calories. Snack on it once a week and you'll pack on nearly 14 pounds in a year."
That seems unfathomable to me, and yet, I see how the numbers definitely add up. Wow!! I guess walking is its own reward, and that is obviously so!!
Happy walking, though today, it may be in rain. Actually, yesterday I savored walking in the mist, and scurrying through the gobbling torrent of rain. True delight!
