I wonder how many empty calories are in a small raspberry turnover? My son got a 2-pack but had only eaten one. I'd been fighting the urge to eat it for a couple of days. Around 9:00 p.m. I couldn't fight it anymore. At least I picked off that horrible crunchy drizzled icing, and there wasn't much for filling. Maybe 2 teaspoons of jam, definitely not more, just a light coating on the pastry. And it was flaky pastry, more air than substance.

I was around 200-300 below my high limit the day before, and hovering around the limit today, so for the two days total I don't think it would have done much damage, but I tend to get in the thinking of "Oh, I blew it today, there's no turning back."


Does anyone know that if you jump hard enough on a trampoline to get about 9 inches off the surface, that the deceleration doubles the G forces on your body, so it forces all of your cells to become twice as strong? I finally watched the immune system video that came with it.
