I got this idea from a friend (I think she got this from Weight Watchers). She used to take grahm crackers and make a sandwich with cool whip. She would then freeze them. She also did the same with chocolate grahm crackers and put a drop of mint extract in the cool whip. It is a wink and a nudge to the thin mint Girl Scout Cookies (I know it is a stretch, but they are pretty good)

Progress Report on Training:
Activity: Walking
Distance: 3 Miles
Time: 54 minutes
Overall my time has improved. Eating is poor but I am getting the miles in. I am still reading the book "You on a Diet" Excellent book! I really get into the whole biology behind weight gain. It is an easy read and really gives great information on the whole subject. I highly recommend it. I am about 2/3 of the way through the book. Here is a link to the book: You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management

Chocolate Fix Friday
Kitchen Sink Cookies: Here is a cookie recipe that I love. If you can find the whole wheat pastry flour, it really makes a difference. It is really worth it to buy it. I like to use it in baking. It has a lighter texture than regular whole wheat flour. I made this without the addition of the dried fruit. It is a recipe from the food network - Ellie Krieger. They are not exactly low calorie, but they are definitely a healthier version of my favorite - chocolate chip cookies. Here's the link to the recipe. Click on the cookie to get the recipe!

It's been a while
It has been a while! I had a very rough week. Our agency had to close 2 programs. Fortunately none of my programs were affected. Unfortunately I had to be part of the layoff process. Very, Very, Very scary times in the non-profit world!
Last week was horrible, talk about stress eating! I had my annual physical - according to my scale I gained 2 lbs! According to my doctor's scale - I lost 6 since my last visit a month ago. I like her scale better! I also stopped exercising last week. I am hitting the gym tomorrow though. I am officially starting my training schedule for the 1/2 marathon.
I hope to have some chocolate recipes posted this week. I was thinking of making Fridays - "Chocolate Fix Fridays" and have lower cal/fat/sugar types of recipes posted.
Take Care
