Okay, I may be a little behind the times because I’ve been avoiding 7-11 since mid-May (I was addicted to their nasty breakfast sandwiches and Monsters!), but I happened to pop into one today (because where else can you get $5 cash back on a purchase?) and I discovered something awesome.
That right thurr is a SUGAR FREE MANGO SLURPEE, people. I mean, I know it’s not calorie free (20 cals per 8oz), but it’s insanely better than the alternative. And sometimes – like, oh, I don’t know, when it’s106 degrees outside – you need a cold, frosty treat. Something you can grab on the go, easy-peasy-like. (I think this heat is killing off my brain cells…)
And popping into 7-11 for the occasional sugar free slurpee is insanely better than what I was doing – going in 2-4 times/week for a breakfast sandwich and a monster!
Funny thing is, when I ran into 7-11 today, I had every intention of grabbing some caffeinated treat – a jolt for my system! I went to bed late last night (for no good reason) and we have date night tonight, so I was trying to convince myself I would need it. But I know full well I’m going to have a diet DrPepper at the movie later, so why add more caffeine now? I don’t actually need it. I might be a little stressed out at work today, dragging a bit, etc. But the morning walk I went on jazzed me up more than a Monster ever has (and I didn’t get the shakes from it after, either).
I was a tad bummed yesterday because we had our work weight loss challenge…and I came in SECOND. Yeah, I know. How stupid am I for beating myself up about second place?? According to the girl’s scale that runs this thing, I lost 3.14% of my body weight in a month. I missed 1st place by .14%. Grr. So close!
That’s what I needed the $5 for, by the way – entering another month’s worth of the challenge. I hate that we’re weighing in on 7/26 next month because I’ll be on vacation. I was kinda hoping that would be my out (rather than saying, “I’m kinda broke and would rather spend that $5 on something else…”). But instead, J (the girl leading it) said, “Oh, just weigh in that Monday since you’ll be here – that’s fine!” Dangit. LOL
But, in all honesty, I could use the competitive motivation. She lost 3.28%, so now my goal is 3.5% so I can (hopefully) nail it next month. That’s just 1lb more than I lost the month prior. I can do that. Right? Right.
Of course, I’m feeling poo-tastic right now because I feel the cramps and crankiness coming on… it’s almost that time of the month. This is always the worst for me. But I made it through last month! I can do it again. AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN… yep yep. A treat here and there, but I’m not going to dive face first into a carton of Ben & Jerry’s. Gotta stay strong!
Also? These milk ads are hilarious. Why have I not seen these before today??
Omg…now I know why… because people are crazy and can’t take a joke!! hahahaha http://vegansaurus.com/post/7577302507/guest-post-milk-board-hates-women Wow. Just wow.
I hate women when they’re acting like bitches, too, people. Granted, I understand the drama behind the milk industry and vegans/PETA, etc… I do. But I still think the ads are funny. Poor guys!
