Many of you know that I have been trying to shed some very unwanted weight. I have lost 21 pounds since January 1st and I only have 12 to 15 more to go.
It has been much easier than I thought it would be. I just make better food choices and try to run at least every other day. Having said that...
I do struggle with the food choices. Easter has not been an easy time for me. Three words: Cadbury Creme Eggs. Actually, my biggest weakness is ice cream. In a waffle cone. Which is kind of weird...I hardly ever remember eating it very much as a child & teenager.
We recently went to Disneyland as a family and we stopped to get some ice cream. I had their Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough Swirl in a wonderfully fresh waffle cone. I just about cried, it was so good. Unfortunately, Emily wasn't too entertained by hers so I had to eat most of it - Dang it! Sad to say, they do not sell it locally. Though this particular flavor is my favorite, just about any cookie dough ice cream will make me swoon.
Another flavor that constantly taunts me is the Aggie's Bull Tracks ice cream up at the Utah State Creamery. In a fresh waffle cone, of course.
Oh, and then there's Moose Tracks, Peanut Butter Cup, Butter Pecan, Burnt Almond Fudge, ......
I knew this post would be tough, but I'm dyin' for that ice cream!!!

I'm not sure if you get it there (ha ha, something we have that the lower 48 doesn't...) my favorite cookie dough is the Private Selection (aka, no name brand) choc chip cookie dough. YUMMY!! It doesn't have the big chocolate chips that break your teeth when you bite into that cold icecream...it's delish! Not to make you crave more or anything! And sheesh - 21 pounds?! No wonder you are kicking everyone's trash and can I ask - where is this coming off of Amber? Did you have bricks in your pockets at first weigh in?! :) Great job!!
Well thanks! Now I need ice cream! I hate hearing you say how it's been easier than you'd thought! I CAN'T do it! I love junk too much, I've never lost more than 5 pounds before gaining it all back again. If I don't get junk, my body goes into a tantrum. It's SO difficult to eat well and stay off sweets!! But GREAT JOB! We are all really proud of you! And uh, were are the before and after pictures!?
Amber, I am so impressed by your weight loss.
That is awesome! Keep up the good work!
21 pounds? You rock!!
