New treats

I discovered some delicious treats that help with those chocolate & ice cream cravings.

Take a chocolate graham cracker and break it in half.  Fill it with frozen, sugar free cool whip and you have yourself a 2 sp ice cream sandwich.  By the way...the frozen, sugar free cool whip by itself tastes really good, like ice cream.  Even my 11 year old son likes it.

 
 
Also just picked these up at Hy-Vee.  I've only tried the pecan crowns and they are ooooh so good.  2 sp for 1.  The English toffee are also 2 sp for 1.
 
 


52 lbs lost

A few months back I hit the 52 lb loss on WW.  However, I have had lots of stress at work for the last 3 months so I have been losing and gaining the same 3 lbs for the last 3 months.  Things are calming down at work and I feel like I am starting to get myself under control again and get back on track.  I guess I am glad that I have basically maintained that whole time.  It could have been much worse.
