Sorry, no nutrition info, and to be honest this is not a stellar week, although I have been sticking pretty close to sale items for my menus--there was really no excuse for Friday, except that it was happy hour and I was walking home with M and it seemed like a good idea at the time, I should get points for not losing control completely and eating all sorts of non-paleo food. I think a little chocolate mousse can be forgiven, especially when it fell toward the end of a 7 mile walk...

  1. Hell yes, one mini mousse is a very minor sin. Not a sin at all, in fact. Call it a reward. Major points for doing so well and especially for the 7 mile walk!
