Day 1: Crab Cakes

It is the end of day 1 and it ended with a nice treat (a 2 point skinny cow ice cream sandwich). Today has been okay. A few times I wanted to reach for the chocolate instead of something healthy, but I JUST SAID NO! I ended up right at my total of 24. So far so good. Tomorrow's goal is to drink more water.
