Blue Bunny Sugar Free Reduced Fat Rocky Road is THE BOMB!

Per half cup, it's got 3 sugars, (8 sugar alcohols--which don't bother me until they get up into the teens per serving...), 6g fat, 130 calories, 2g fiber and 4g of protein!

It is as creamy as the real stuff, and tastes exactly the way ice cream is supposed to taste. OMG, it was DELICIOUS!

If you're interested, here's a coupon from their website!

Also, I had two little WOW's today:

1. We went to see Prince Caspian. It was pretty good...the first one was better, but we enjoyed it. The MAJOR thing that happened at the movies was that I didn't touch the sides of the seat when I sat down! Holy Crap, it was awesome! I also snuck in Crystal Light and 94% fat free microwave popcorn. I had Liz bring her big purse! I can't wait until Wednesday...a guy I work with and I are going to see Indiana Jones at Midnight. I'm trying to talk him into taking a purse.

2. I'm sitting here on the computer right now in size 42 jeans. I had the 40's on yesterday walking around and I think I lost a testicle when I sat down in them. (One down, one to go, Duckie Michelle--I still have tires, though!) I could get them closed, but they are SO not public ready. The 42's on the other hand, are a perfect fit. Sure, as my weight goes down I'm getting a little worried about this gravity laden skin/fat roll that's left behind, but I've not been in 42's since like 1989-1990. I still can't believe all this is real!

I was close to 60 in the waist before and wearing 5X shirts. As of today, I'm comfortably in the 42's and wearing L or XL shirts. I can't even tell you how awesome it is to walk into WalMart and buy a shirt and a pair of jeans for under $20. The same thing at the Big and Tall store would be $100.

Woo Hoo!

-Mike

I love reading "The Long Road" --- always lifts me up!

I'm loving SF Popsicles these days... afraid of wandering back into the realm of ice cream!!!

We just watched the first 3 Indiana Jones movies while at the hospital last weekend... we're ready for No. 4~~~~ !!! (Have to admit I got SICK of the theme song by the time movie 3 started... a little much in one sitting!)

Thanks Mike....you just started another coughing fit that will last about an hour or so. I have bronchitis (and laryngitis). ack. Still laughing, hacking... coughing... off to find the cough syrup with codeine.
Um, I think you should model those jeans for us. We will let ya know if they are too tight.

OH, and sugar alcohols are the devil. The DEVIL I tell ya. Glad you loved the ice cream. I do better with a little higher sugar, and just have a smaller serving than try those damn devil alcohols.

This one's for you, Michelle!

This pic reminds of the "My Humps" song:

Look at that ass inside them jeans...

There's a lotta ass in them 42's! It's not as big as it was, but damn it still looks embarrassing, I think!

When I come visit, I expect to see this posted on your refrigerator.
