My SWEET new Addiction! mmm...

Ok- I have a new addiction thanks to Hungry Girl! It's the Kashi Honey Sunshine Cereal! It is TASTY!!! Splash a little ICE COLD ALMOND BREEZE on it along with a little HAZELNUT COFFEE MATE (sugar free, of course) and voila! You've got a sweet crunchy treat for less than 200 calories! It actually tastes a LOT like Captain Crunch! Yumm! Yeah, I had 2 bowls of it tonight for dinner. . .

And more exciting news from the HG front- Laughing cow cheese is launching NEW flavo'flaves in JUNE! I can't WAIT! I LOVE those hilarious wedges! There is going to be a new blue cheese flavor, a mozzarella something-or-rather as well as a kickin' queso flave. Mmmm... My mouth is watering & I can't hardly wait! Oh! And did I mention that they are all LIGHT too! Dah- the most important part! I giggle with anticipation of the new laughing cow~

"Excuse me, Miss. . . Do you have this in a size 4?!?!"

I have never in my life uttered those words. . . UNTIL YESTERDAY!!! At 5'8" tall, I've never in my life (since I WAS 4!) worn a size 4 but yesterday I went shopping for new work pants and the 6's were just too big! I was actually giggling to myself in the dressing room and crying tears of JOY! No, not really crying, but pretty Freaking excited!

I'm still doing all the crazy things to maintain my weight loss but have not been intentionally trying to lose more weight. I was happy to be a size 6. But I was still working hard to maintain that- maybe a little too hard!

Also- I wanted to just talk for a second about hormones. The more and more I read and learn about hormones, the more I realize how much they play a huge part in weight loss & overall health and well being. About 3 weeks ago I went to see my doctor- During an evaluation in her office she asked me some personal questions & recommended that I use prescription strength testosterone for my energy and sex drive. And I've really noticed a difference already! She also put me on progesterone for the 2nd 1/2 of my cycle to help with PMS. So far, so good! : )

So alas- yet another thing that I deal with. . . . outta' control hormones. But I feel I'm one step closer to feeling my BEST!
