The weather last week was really bad...I just wanted to eat ice cream all day. Being that I've changed my eating I don't have ice cream or popsicles in the house because I'm the kinda person that just can't have one. Like there's no way I can have just A cookie...lol...I'll just keep eating and eating and eating... But yeah...last week was torturous. I found myself wanting to be at work because the a/c unit is set to "antarctica" here and I'm too cheap to run my a/c units while I'm not in the house for fear that my electrical bill will be higher than my mortgage so I had to "suffer" while my house cooled down..lol.

I was eating sugar free popsicles and fudgesicles like crazy last week! You should try them, it doesn't have a weird taste at all. I like the tropical flavored popsicles better than the regular and lifesavers flavors. I miss my shaved ice, so this was the closest thing possible. Sometimes in the Midweek newspaper grocery ads Foodland, Times and/or Safeway has sales on the sugar free popsicles/fudgesicles.

Oh yeah...congrats on the loss of almost 11 pounds, that is fantastic

Thanks sooo much I was surprised myself...it's been really easy, too. I just stuff myself with protein and don't have the appetite to eat any junk food...lol. Shoot...if I knew what I know now 5 years ago...I may not have ever gotten as big as I have. *sigh* Oh well...I guess it has to start somewhere...heheheheh Dana

I am the same way...if I knew the protein thing way back then I probably wouldn't have had a problem....but, everything happens for a reason right?!!! I didn't know 7-11 had crystal light slurpees...that might become a new addiction!!! LOL...we might have to have 7-11 get togethers instead of at starbucks!!!!!! I will check out the vitalady site for the power crunch bars...I was telling Kris tonight I ate that thing and it was the best tasting thing I have had in quite a while...it was really really good...LOL, I want another one and I don't have any--that's probably why I want one!!

Jessica... I just ate a Luna Chocolate Peppermint Stick bar tonight for dinner....it was really really yummy. Ummm...I think it's only 9 grams of protein but it tasted like one of those Girl Scout Cookies (the chocolate mint one). That would be a killer snack. Let me see...I have the wrapper right here (it's pretty cheap and readily avaliable at Wal-Mart/Longs)... Calories 180, Total Carbs 27g, Dietary Fiber 3g, Sugars 9g, Protein 9 g. I know the sugars may be too high for some folks...but I swear this tastes like no other "healty, high protein" bar I ever ate. I may digress when I try the Power Crunch...but for now this will be my vice...lol. Dana
