Good Morning! It is warming up here too, after having gorgeous weather over the weekend (it was about 85 degrees) we will be about 107 this weekend.

Ok, so my neighbor told me about these https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/cold-brew-latte-desser t-bars a few weeks ago and I tried them over the weekend. I know the stats aren't great but for a once in awhile a treat I like them. I am not sure if anyone has mentioned them here yet, but the texture resembles a fudgesicle.

Accountability: I was a snacky mcsnackerson last night.

QOTD: I have worn contacts for about 13 years now. Em and John both have to wear glasses for reading occasionally when their eyes get tired and both have very mild prescriptions.

Time since surgery: 3 years 10 months

B: SF latte, eggbeaters, ½ an orange and 2 turkey sausage links

L: Albacore lettuce wraps and baby carrots

S: P3 pack, Carbmaster yogurt and cold brew iced latte dessert bar

D: Trader Joes Mahi Mahi burger, spinach salad (Bleu cheese, walnuts and Skinnygirl raspberry vinaigrette dressing), banana and 2 squares dark chocolate

ES: Homemade Greek yogurt with SF syrup and ¼ cup fiber cereal

E: 6 miles ran this morning and 40 mins of elliptical at lunch

V/W: On track

Totals: Cals:1288 Protein:112 Carbs:90 Fat:57

Have a great one!

"Snacky McSnackerson" - LOL!!

I'm going to try those latte bars. Calorie-wise, they're the same as SF fudgesicles. I always have a box of SF fudgesicles in my freezer, but it takes me like 2-3 months to get through a box, so I don't think I'd abuse those latte bars, either. They sound great!

The iced latte bars sound delish. Maybe once I'm done losing i will try one. Thus far I have avoided virtually all sugar other than the small amount in ham, in a baby carrot or two in beef stew, and in a (very) few blueberries, eaten only once in the past year. As a result, I don't know if I I dum*****t - I was afraid to find out. Would there be enough in one of those bars to trigger an episode, I wonder? I halfway hope I would dump, to be honest, and halfway hope I wouldn't. Sugary foods were definitely my prime binge territory and I will forever have to be very wary of them.

You are on the right path for sure! Keep at it.

I agree with Kelly, for now, avoid the sugar and other carbs. When you reach maintenance, you have the option to broaden what you try. For now keep at it. You're doing great!

Thanks Janet. Yes, the last thing I want is to go off plan now! I may never add things like those pops in, but if I ever do, it will be far down the road, not now!

In the meantime, treat yourself to lots of SF popsicles. My faves are the Outshine tropical fruit by Nestle.
