The past few days have been really busy at work, that’s why I haven’t been blogging appropriately! But really not that interesting. The most interesting thing? Probably that my shower had a clog. But I bought. drumroll please…. DRANO! Actually I think it was Liquid Plumber, but same thing ya know. You are supposed to use half the bottle to get rid of a clog, and let it sit for 15 min. I did that once, but it didn’t get rid of it! So I dumped in the rest of the bottle and it worked. So it must have been a hell of a clog, that puppy required a whole bottle of drano! But I am very happy because it was less than 24 hours of showering with 4 inches of dirty, disgusting water around my feet and it was super gross. I felt like I came out of the shower dirtier than I went in…
My eats have been ok, I wish a little healthier. I need to stop buying foods that I love but that I know are trigger foods, for example: pudding. I love pudding, but I cannot just eat one pudding cup. I buy 4, I eat 4. I buy 6, I eat 6. So yeah, I ate 6 pudding cups (but am only putting a picture of one, ha.)
I’m doing great with fruit – Today I had 1 nectarines and a pint of blueberries:
For dinner tonight, I had something yummy. A few weeks ago, I got a coupon for a free Gardein product. I bought the Santa Fe Good Stuff and finally decided to try them. I just heated them up in the microwave, and ate them on top of some angel hair pasta tossed with tomato sauce and a wedge of laughing cow cheese, and threw in some steamed broccoli and mozzarella cheese. It was delicious! I definitely recommend this Gardein product, and look forward to trying some more of them.
I got another new product that I was TOTALLY stoked to try. I heard about this Arctic Zero frozen treat and, as an ice cream fanatic, thought it definitely had to be too good to be true. A whole pint for 128 calories?!?! Yeah, must taste like frozen chocolate mudwater. It is ridiculously expensive, and Amazon is the only place that I know of to buy it from right now, but I really wanted to try it so I sucked it up and bought some. Oh man, this stuff is freaking incredible. I got chocolate flavor and chocolate peanut butter flavor, and tonight I had the chocolate:
It is seriously so good. Creamy – not like chocolate ice like I expected. First I made myself a bowl of it on with a Kashi Happy Trail mix cookie crumbled on top:
And then, you know you saw this one coming, I ate the whole pint. But it’s ok, because it was only 128 calories! Too bad it was like $8!!!!
Here is a snapshot of the nutritional info, in case you don’t believe me:
It even has 4 g of protein in 1/2 cup, which I like. Yes, I have a new obsession.
Snackeroos included cereal, cottage cheese, almonds, and soy chips. I opened a new bag of Safeway Eating Right soy chips, and I thought that they tasted a little bit different that usual, but kept eating them. When I finished the bag, I went to throw it away and noticed that I got the Sea Salt flavor (while I usually get the Sour Cream and Onion). They were pretty good – I probably would have never bought that flavor intentionally… I tend to be a creature of habit and if its not broken, why fix it…. so it was nice that I got to try them even if it was accidental. I might even get them again some time!
Ok, time to declog.
