126

126


126 is the amount of weight I have lost to date.
Is it the amount I wanted to lose by now?
HELL NO.
Am I happy with this weight loss?
HELL YES


I was hoping I would have lost close to 200 pounds by now. I suppose I have myself to blame for not losing more. I got stuck for awhile but I am back on track!


I think the kids being home for the summer really did me in. They did all sorts of fun stuff and I drank all kinds of alcohol.
Alcohol is my new guilty pleasure.
It used to be candy but now it is alcohol.
I suppose if I am going to continue to drink, I should find an alcoholic beverage that has less calories.


You see I found this at the grocery store...

I know what your thinking....

That is wierd. How can something that comes in a pouch at the grocery store and costs less than $3 taste good??

There is something that happens when you put this in the freezer, or better yet when you take it out of the freezer...

Trust me when I say don't even bother getting a glass. Just cut a hole at the top and stick a straw in it. SO GOOD!! It even wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be. DONT GET ME WRONG, this shit is sweet just NOT AS sweet as I was expecting.

You want sweet? Hell, I'll give you sweet. If I can't eat it... you might as well!
