Costco and cows

I don't know what is more of a Costco favorite for me: a box of Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches or a tub of Sabra hummus. This hummus is the best I've ever had, a perfect amount of garlic and whipped to a creamy (non-lumpy) texture. My breath constantly reeks of garlic from eating this stuff, Bill just loves it. But Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches are really too good to be true. They are DELICIOUS and they only have 140 calories and 15 g of sugar. Yummmm. I guess if you haven't ever tried them don't because you will shortly become an addict like me.

My other cow thing is Laughing Cow light swiss cheese, one wedge has 35 calories 0 trans fat and is great on vegetables for a quick snack. It's too hard for me to eat raw veggies without something on them and this cheese is a good choice. I just picked up my first bag of Bear Naked Organic Trail Mix and it is by far the best dang trail mix I've ever had, incredibly fresh and the perfect amount of chocolate. I might actually enjoy eating in the back country if I took this, although having it at my desk right now is working fine too.

I'm off of the anti-sugar kick but I am still trying to limit sugar in an effort to keep my blood sugar steady. I do get "sugared out" when I indulge now so I think I'll try to maintain this level and stay away from pop, juice, and cookies as much as I can.

With all this eating talk I have to confess that I am starting to get paranoid because lately people have been randomly saying, "You look good!" like, out of the blue saying this to me. Now I've gained 10 pounds since last year and my hair has grown out quite a bit so are they saying I look good because I looked like crap last year or are they saying I look good because I look chubby and they are concerned that I could be mental about it? I ran into an athletic friend a few days ago who recently had a child and she said, "I know you can't ever been skinny enough as an athlete but you look good!" So I think I believe her but maybe she's just being nice, she always seems very nice. One of my tri buddies comments on my weight every time I see him and makes jokes about me having child bearing hips now. That makes me want to go dip some Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches in a bucket of hummus and take up residence on the couch.

Or I could quit the fertility drugs and spend the rest of the summer mountain biking and trail running and not tell anyone...

I'm sure there's some show on TV I could watch to make my time on the couch easier. I hope Ninja Warrior is on. Or Fight Girls! I just started watching it. Love it! Chicks who kick and punch! Sweet! Where's the ice cream!
