Today was a much better day than yesturday! I went to bed last night thinking why am I going to be sad and sluggish! Life is so short and I want to enjoy it, I don't want to be unhappy. Im going to wake up everyday and face it with strength and im going to show it who is boss!
I hope everyone's Wednesday went well! Today I was craving sweets! We all know that when it comes to sweets, I get weak! However, today I thought of something; I could either go and get the Coldstone Ice cream I have been craving, or I could improvise and make something at home. So in the end I saved $$$ and calories! I got a scoop of sugar-free Blue Bunny Ice cream and added my own mix-in. I added one of Newman's Organic Peanut butter cup. Oh my, it hit the spot and it was just what the doctor ordered! haha!
I improvising on things, that I love and I can still love, but healthier and half the calories!
Alrighty, im off to check on you all!!! Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!!

nice!
i think I am always craving the sweets =) your sundae sounds marv. i decided to lay off the ice cream tonight, but i did have one of the SF 60-cal pudding snacks with 2 tbsp frozen cool whip free mixed in and some teddy grahams on top. almost like ice cream, but not quite! the next question is did you get the drk choc or milk choc peanut butter cups? i love dark chocolate and that sounds divine! take care chica.
Alexia...love that attitude. Yes, I agree we need to wake up and take control...it is not an easy thing when our mood goes south...but we need to practice controlling our moods (I AM SO WORKING ON THAT)...but we can do this. We all have so many blessings in our lives...and I treasure your EP friendship as one of those blessings.
So please stay happy, stay strong, stay focused...we all look to you as our COVER GIRL!
Improvising is fun! I love to be craving something and do a "healthy trick" on my mind and body. I buy Blue Bunny too. Yum!! Tonight I was craving sweets too, so I made me a Blue Blunny strawberry/vanillia milkshake. It's just what I was needing. It's better than the 24 Point (YIKES!) frozen yogurt milkshake I wanted from Steak & Shake! Healthy doesn't have to mean tasteless ! (thank goodness)
You are quick! I had just posted that! And yea, there is a Flemings in Scottsdale! Go check it out! It is divine!
Well said! Cease the moment, girl! I, too, just want to spend the rest of my life being happy and not looking back. Good attitude for such a young age, Alexia! However, we cannot always control our feelings. How can we be happy if we don't experience sadness? And I have found out the hard way that there is no life without death. Just don't take anything for granted, do the right thing, and we will be rewarded!
You know you are so right our bad choices got us in this shape so I am quiet sure good choise can get us out of this ! You are the cover girl to prove well you & the rest of them ! Thanks for checking on me & I haven't forgot about you it has just been a rough week but with those of you that were praying for me I made it through & received a blessing ! If you need me don't hesitate to contact me !
Sometimes I try to find ways to cut calories and fats when I crave sweets. I would have done something similar and it sounds great, too! I had a small ice cream cup yesterday but then I got offers for key lime pie and pizza. That was a disaster for my stomach. I learned my lesson well that I need to say no sometimes, even if they're nice. You're doing great!
Alexia-I too love your attitude. Great improvision-you were able to satisfy your craving without over doing it. Do you ever go to Penguins for ice cream? When I lived in Tucson, I loved that place. Super low calorie and fat free everything. My roommate and I planned that every Sunday night would be our Penguins night. It hit the spot everytime and I LOVE ice cream. Now that I don't live there anymore I miss Penguins so much. I know that might sound weird but I do.
