GRAHAM CRACKERS!!!
Boy was I shocked to hear that somebody was substituting Graham Crackers instead of sweets...does this seem odd to anybody else, especially since at the website http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-cookies-graham-crackers-plain-honey-i18173 the description allows for graham crackers to be crackers if they are made of graham flour (hard whole-wheat flour in which the constituent bran, germ, and endosperm have been ground separately, the first two coarsely and the third finely). Commercial graham crackers of today are defined as one of the better cookies out there for consumption, however the key is they are a cookie with processed sugar. The shock I experienced at reading the comment floored me. I realize this is hard for each of us in our own way, but we can make it through. My office receives at least a box of candy per day, and the cookies and ice cream flow thicker than milk and honey in any scriptural verse. Exercise is sometimes available, but not much more frequent than cell phone service here. All I am saying is don't shortcut ladies. We can all tough it out together. I just wish I had a Wii Fit Personal Trainer to help out. Keep up the hard work people, and remember, a cookie by any other name is not a cracker. Good luck.

I would just like to have the record stand that I do not have dual personalities and the author "the other half of Wendi" refers to MY better half (aka my husband).
ReplyDeleteI don't think she said she was eating them, just that she likes them, better then cookies in fact. Every time I open my cupboard I see a giant box of graham crackers. I have stayed clear, so far. I agree though they are more of a cookie shaped like a cracker. mmm, cookies.
ReplyDeleteI only had one because I thought it was a cracker, but I still have lost four pounds even with said "cookie".
ReplyDeleteI guess I can start eating Fig Newtons because they aren't cookies either-does that work? LOL. Is it trash talking if I say it to my team member?
ReplyDeleteLOL Bryce! I think she definitely needs you to keep her in line. Oh wait, let her run free and wild. Good job Amy on the four pounds!! I think you should just stop there though. We don't want you to start looking like a waif.
