Love thy pastries!

Today I went to see Mrs D. She was not feeling great, but she cheered up a bit once we got chatting. She's had a quiet Christmas, her son and daughter both visited her, which was really good. And then, somehow we got talking about her love of pastries. Her favorite used to be Apple puffs with cream. She and her husband would have two each, at the weekend. Until one day when she saw herself in a photograph... she'd put on quite a bit of weight!! She then decided to cut down to one per week. And then, later on, a visit to the doctor put an end to it all. She's had to cut down on sugar or else!... She's done a very good job of that and she passes her regular medical tests with flying colours! I love my pastries too, I would hate to have to give them up. I hope that by keeping active with GoodGym activities (looking forward to getting back on that bike as soon as the weather is improving slightly), that will earn me a pastry or two...
