So many new things, so little time…

by DanicasDaily on July 21, 2010

Happy Hump Day all!  I am glad you all liked My Wordless Wednesday pictures today.  I have to say I LOVE them too, but, I might be a bit impartial.  Do you all remember when I first got my Blackberry Storm but then traded it for my Droid?  Well, The Husband wanted a new phone too ~ sooooo, tadah ~being handy like he is, he made it! Just another reason to LOVE him.

Oh and Jane ~ he says it has 4G, not 3G!!! LMAO….funny guy!

Today I woke up dreaming that we didn’t actually run out of coffee because when I opened the cupboard a bag of Starbuck’s Christmas Blend was sitting on the shelf waiting…..Ummm, ya, totally a dream because we had NO COFFEE :D

Just a good reason to justify Starbucks!!!! Venti Iced Nonfat Decaf Latte with Caramel Drizzle on top (3 pts).

I actually ended up eating breakfast late so it became snack ~ Honey Bunches of Oats with Blueberries & FF Milk poured over after so it doesn’t get soggy (5 points).

I went on a mission at lunch to find the NEW LARA BARS to send to my friend (and to try too!) plus find the new Laughing Cow Flavors!!!!

I managed to score 3 out of the 4 bars (only because Jenna took all the Carrot Cake ones :D )

* Chocolate Chip Brownie

* Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip

* Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

* a new to me POMX Dark Chocolate BAR :D

Plus the TWO Laughing Cow Flavors I wanted to try….I didn’t try the Blue Cheese because well….it’s nasty stinky cheese :D

* Mozzarella Sun Dried Tomato & Basil

* Queso Fresco & Chipotle!

I really, really did try to resist the Whole Foods salad bar, but, seriously….how can you say no to this veggie goodness?

Let’s see if I can remember what’s in the box:

* Romaine

* Mixed Greens

* Carrots

* Red & Golden Beets

* Jicama

* Marinated Mushrooms & Ciopinno Onions

* 1 egg

* Cherry tomatoes

* TWO FRESH MOZZARELLA BALLS!

* 2 homemade croutons

* Sprinkle of Sunflower Seeds

7 Points of LOVE!

I have a new LOVE that I just couldn’t resist when I was at store #3 on my search….POPZELS!!!

YUP ~ 10 = 3 POINTS!!!

IMG_6798

Have you all ever heard of these before?!

LOVE….salty, crunchy, chocolate and honestly 5 is totally satisfying but I wanted all 3 points so I had 10 :D

I weighed in today and gained .2 lbs so I had to take $2 out of my account….new balance = $16.  I totally blame the 1 lb salad I ate at lunch…NOTE to SELF!

I had to wait a little for The Husband after my meeting so I found myself wandering into another Health Food Store….You know you have to buy something whenever you shop…you can’t just walk out :D

My AMAZING WW Friend told me to try these Better Oats.  I am not usually a fan of instant but with names like Blueberry Muffin and Cinnamon Roll, they are worth trying!

Post meeting ~ dinner at Vasquez for a Spicy Chicken Tostada! Don’t worry I dumped hot sauce all over it before downing it.  LOVE = HUGE gobs of guacamole :D 8 points!

Reviews, reviews and more reviews coming soon!  OH and A GIVEAWAY where you get to go shopping again to buy anything you want :D FUN!

Off to read, but, probably just pass out!

Night all!

If I do nothing this weekend, I am going to find the flavored laughing cow cheese!!

I had no idea that coffee drink is only 3 points – nice on a hot day!

Hope you have a great Thursday!

Those Popzels look amazing! Are they at Whole Foods?

I have only tried two of the new Larabar flavors: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. I AM OBSESSED with the PB chocolate chip, but not a huge fan of the cookie dough – which is very suprising, since I always eat many a spoonfuls of cookie dough when I bake cookies :)

Your Whole Foods salad looks amazing! I will be venturing there tomorrow and will recreate your masterpiece!

Hi Sarah,

I actually got the Pozels at Raley’s, but, I bet Whole Foods would carry them too.

Awww, I was thinking that the cookie dough would be my fav too – hmmmm, must sample them all!

Have fun building your WF salad today – I LOVE their salads, I just wish they were cheaper LOL

Have a great weekend!
