Good evening, BOTT friends,

Speaking of muffins Tess, my sister fell in love with the Vitatops and wanted some.  While checking the website, I noticed they had a Thanksgiving special of a dozen free Vitatops when you ordered 2 dozen, and it expired at midnight on the day I saw it.  We ordered that day.  She ordered carrot cake and wild blueberry, and I ordered carrot cake (the free dozen had to be one of three flavors and carrot cake was one of the choices), deep chocolate and fudgy peanut butter something...I forget the name of that one.  Have you tried many of the flavors?  I saw many good reviews of all of the flavors, but there's nothing like word of mouth.

Got my recumbent bike workout in for 45 mins. covering 6.7 miles this afternoon.  Today I ate:

B:  1 c All Bran with 3/4 c almond milk, 1 oz chopped almonds, 3 tbsps SF pumpkin pie spice creamer

L:  2 ozs grilled whiting, 1.5 c cooked cabbage

S:  1/3 c pistachios (measured in shell), 12 ozs coffee with 4 tbsps SF creamer

S:  sandwich thin, 1 slice deli American cheese

D:  6 ozs grilled sirloin, 1/2 c yellow squash, zucchini and red bell pepper mix

Working on my water tonight.  I've been using Walmart brand SF fruit flavoring (like Crystal Light) in my water, and I swear it seems to increase my appetite, so I will be going to plain water again starting tonight.  I've reduced the turkey bacon addiction...now to stop loving the SF creamer so much, but I don't like coffee unless it's very sweet and very light, also coffee acts as a substitute when I crave something sweet.  Anyways, the pumpkin pie spice flavor is a seasonal one and will be gone in a couple months =(   But then that might be a good thing!  Goodnight friends =)

I Had just ordered a supply of the vitatops on another special that they ran for Halloween so I have plenty right now.  I got hooked on those Deep Chocolate ones and have not ventured away.  I understand that the chocolate chip and blueberry ones are really good too!  I tried all the Quest Bars and liked most of them but the chocolate brownie one is my go to bar.  Can you tell I just love chocolate and get my fix where ever I can that has protein and fiber in it?  I did the same thing too on the Walmart version of the S.F. packets and they did the same thing about the hunger.  I use the grape propel now or the Crystal Light Grape Energy or Lemonade ones only now.  They do not increase my appetite yet I feel I am having something else besides water only.  Have a great day!
