I think the mud cake does have fourteen zillion calories. LOL Especially since I gained five pounds since having that plus mexican food. I am back on track now tho. I am hoping to loose that soon. Probaly not as fast as gaining it tho.  
I am reading the book to, but like you it is going very slow. I don't think I will ever keep the weight off without the book tho. It sure is easy to gain back and I worked to hard to let it creap back on. I feel so much better since loosing it. 
I wonder how AJ is doing. She hasn't been on since her surgery has she? 
Have a great evening. Dolores
