Then you missed out on my favorite foods. I love soups, casseroles,
chili, stews, etc.

If the marshmallows get browned on top, they don't look so bad. But if
the marshmallows are just melted and gooey but still cloud-white, the
appearance is indeed unappetizing, in my opinion.

I think it's the marshmallows that trigger the gag reflex. It's at the
top of a very short list of sweets that I can leave alone. If I want
something warm and laden with fat and sugar, I'd rather have pie or a
warm cinnamon roll.

Me too. Just finished eating one with dinner. It's one of my

favorite
foods. As a kid, though, I hated them. Mom always fixed them for
Thanksgiving and Christmas, using the canned variety and topping

them
with butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows. Even the thought of that
old recipe makes me gag.

having
those flex points out there would not have been good enough.

It
would
have been this rigid, inflexible objective each day. NO WAY.
That
is
just not my style. Saving "excess" points was more of my

style.
Also, frankly, my exercise level does not lend itself to

eating
all
activity points as/when earned. I still find that the next

day I
need
more. Altho, I think that I did learn in Europe (well, after)
that
I
should have been eating more each day to counter the extreme
hiking
each day. I think I was TOO driven by "can't gain weight/have

to
control input" when I could have used more fuel. I get this
feeling
that may be what is driving the "broken switch" now. Or

that's
my
excuse anyway.

Well, almost off to WI..... (yikes!)

Ah yes, the old Winning Points program in which you earned

your
extra
points instead of being given them at the beginning of ea
chweek.Hm.
I've still got a spreadsheet from those days. I might try to

dig
that
out. Oh wait. Over the weekend I had to reformat my hard

drive.
That's
one thing I didn't back up.
