Diet Ice Cream Bars
Thursday, 01 January 2009

I occassionally indulge in diet ice cream bars.   I like individually wrapped snacks because that way there is no question about the serving size and how many calories I am eating.  Whereas if I buy a whole tub of 'diet' ice cream, it's easy to fill up your bowl with 3 or 4 servings without even knowing it!  

I like Skinny Cow the best.    They have a smooth creamy taste with a nice chocolaty cookie outside.  Very satisfying.    Also kind of expensive.

My 2nd choice is Slim-a-Bear ice cream sandwich bars or fudge bars.   These are also chocolatey and creamy and satisfying. 

Today the Weight Watchers brand of ice cream sandwiches were on sale, so I bought those.   BLECHHH!  They tasted horrible.  The outside cookie part was dry and gritty and tasted basically like cardboard.  I'm guessing they were high fiber.   The inside chocolate ice cream part was ice cold and sickenly sweet.  Not cream, just icey.   I won't be buying them again, sale or not.

 
Post Holiday Weigh-in
Sunday, 28 December 2008

Another post holiday weigh in and it wasn't too bad! Yay!   I did do a fair amount of pigging out this Christmas.  Not too bad, but enough to make me feel bloated and break out with bad zits.  Meh.   I have been afraid to weigh myself for 2 weeks. 

Before weighing in after a pigout period, I like to get back to a feeling of being in control, and not feeling all gross and bloated.  This is a state of being which I call my "thinner place".   I also like to try on a pair of size 8 slacks which I bought when I was at my thinnest.  If I can zip those up without too much muffin top, then I figure I'm good. 

Those two conditions were met today, so I stepped on the scale, hoping against all hope that I was 145 or less.   I weighed in at 144.6.  Yay!!!!    I weighed 142 before the holidays, so 2 lbs is not bad.   I will have to work hard to lose them, but, I really can't complain.  In my fat days, I would gain 10 lbs every year (for 10 years - I'll let you do the math on that one - hahaha!)

 

 
We Need Candy Like a Hole in the Head
Sunday, 28 December 2008
Here is a funny story:  I was in the grocery store look at bagged candy.   It's my hubby's b-day tomorrow, and I always sprinkle candy around the table for us to enjoy as we celebrate.   I usually buy a big bag of kisses or mini peanut butter cups.
