Before going on a diet, I would drink a tall glass of chocolate milk each and every night before bed.
I knew that was one of the things I was going to have to cut out if I wanted to lose weight. I hadn't had a single glass of chocolate milk, since January.
Then, I read on a blog that chocolate milk was actually good for you.
I suddenly remembered how much I love chocolate milk.
Why the heck am I living without it? Certainly a small glass of chocolate milk can be worked into my Deliciously Healthy lifestyle, every now and then.
Life is too short to deprive myself of this
chocolaty goodness.
Only this time I used 1 1/2 cups low fat milk, and 1 TBS chocolate syrup (50 cal.).

This morning's weigh in had me at 165.
That's a 2 pound loss this week!
Thank you
so much for all your sweet comments on my last post!

Girl, i LOVE chocolate milk. And i always made it w/ the hershey syrup until i met my husband who makes THE best chocolate milk. Listen carefully... HAHA.
ReplyDeleteFill your glass 1/4 full w/ heavy whipping cream & the rest of the way with milk. Skim is fine. Then add 3-4 heaping spoonfuls of OVALTINE (not the malt kind. Ew! i think it's just called "rich chocolate"). Stir. Put in freezer for 20 minutes. OHMYGOSH. It won't freeze. Just get SUPER cold. And i guess you can skip the whipping cream. That's the only "bad" part of it. Ovaltine is good for you!
YAY chocolate milk!
Congrats on your loss!!! I wish I was seeing 2 pounds a week off me. We are almost exactly the same weight now! What's your goal?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the loss!
ReplyDeleteHaving a few tasty treats keep us sane. If we were always on the straight and narrow, life would be very boring :)
Melissa- That is hilarious! :D
ReplyDeleteDawne- Thank you! My goal is 120, which is what I was when I get married.
I use to convince my mom it was ok for me to have chocolate milk after school because I read a study that said kids who drank chocolate milk tended to have less cavities because they drank chocolate milk instead of soda. :) I love a little glass now and again too. Congrats on the loss.
ReplyDeleteI provide services to the mentally challenged and took one of my clients to a nutritionist for her diabetes. Nutritionist told her if was fine to have a daily glass of low fat chocolate milk; she loves it and was happy to hear that! I am not a big sweets lover but give me chocolate any day!
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! Another 2 lbs. down...good for you girl!!!! Love me some chocolate milk, too. But I'm a Nestle's Quik girl. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat would life be without a little chocolate now and then? I think it's so important for us to find how we can fit in those treats that mean a lot to us or else we'll got off the deep end (nutritionally speaking).
Congrats on a great week!!
