i need to buy some laughing cow and wasa, too. I used to get them but haven't since I moved. Still figuring out where the grocery stores are and where things are located in them... plus i forgot how good and tasty they are!
For some VERY strange reason I'm up early this morning, and I have time to go to the store before I have to head to class, so I'm going to pick up some laughing cow, wasa crackers, and some Luna Bars (I frequently eat them on the way into work so I know that if I don't get out until late I'll still have fuel!).
Taylor -- I've always been curious about Babybel, but it sort of freaks me out because I've never had it. Is it soft, like LC cheese? Or is it more the consistency of regular cheese? And aren't there different kinds...like "original" and "cheddar" and stuff?? hahaha, who knew I could have so many questions about cheese!
Arts & Taylor - Babybel's the kind with the wax, right? I just know as a kid I was endlessly amused by the wax. Laughing Cow is spreadable, right? Never tried it. But if so, then the Babybel is basically more like regular cheese, just in a cute shape and wrapped in a fun wax coating. It's pretty yummy.
just keep swimming Yup You are right. Babybel is like regular cheese and is super tasty when you (take it out of it's wax) cut it into little pieces and eat it with fruit. I feel so fancy when I do that...like I am eating a cheese and fruit plate. OOO la la!
And I always play with the wax, one time my boyfriend molded it to look like a person. God, I have no life.
I'm thankful that tomorrow is Friday. I was suppose to get up at 6:15 and I was like 15 minutes.... I literally felt like I just blinked and it was gone and I went to bed early last night! Let's just say coffee is my BFF today.
So I am down to 282! A freaking 1/2 pound but that's better than nothing. I'm going to cut my calories just a little to shake things up a bit. Things seem to be a little quiet around the day.... how's everyone doing?
My goal is to actually get on the darn treadmill tonight...even if it's 90 some odd degrees in my apartment...I can at least do SOMETHING. This is starting to get re-damn-diculous.
Mmm...babybel....I like the regular white flavour. The orange cheddar one isn't so good! They are sure getting expensive though, at least where I buy them!
Hi all! stumbled into your convo and have to say that babybel is a staple of mine! it's like the dessert portion of my lunches. handy and fun. i've never shaped the ball into a person but I'm killer at cubes and spheres. haha I used to like the cheddar but now find it too salty.
btw, gotta say kudos to everyone who successfully get up in the morning to exercise because i've been having a heck of a time at it lately! I even made sure I got a whole 8 hrs of sleep last night (which never happens) and still couldn't do it.
I'll be at it tonight, but I envy anyone who can git er done in the morning.

Totally! I can never get up early. I have to leave my house by 6:45/ 7 am anyways and getting up super early to work out is not going to happen.
So I got the cheddar kind today....and now I'm hearing it's not good...eek!! I'm going to try it and if I don't like it, then...well....I guess I won't buy it again, haha!!
Hopefully I'll like one of the kinds because that seems like a good thing to take to school.
It's almost Friday (phew). This week, although short, has definitely been a crazy one.
Hoping I don't go too off plan this weekend. As I said before, during the week I always stay at my calorie goal. Once the weekend hits though all bets are off...
I've always thought the Babybels were so cute, but never knew anything else about them. Are they reduced fat? And are they kind of pricy, since all the "cute" food always seems to be, haha...
I'm trying to work out my "how to stay fit in college" plan, but idk how well it will go!

I'm really committed to staying on track during the school year, so I need to figure out ways I can eat, still!!
I have classes from 8-5 on MW, so I've been having to pack a lot of snacks and stuff for school. It makes my books really hard to get to in my backpack!
Yesterday, something that I tried was bringing cottage cheese. My roommate has these tiny little 1/2 cup tupperware containers, so I filled that with cottage cheese. Then, I put that container into a bigger container with a screw on-lid with some ice in it so that it stayed cold. For me, if any dairy product isn't ICE cold, I can't eat it. BUT it was reallllly good and really nice to have something "substantial" during the day instead of just another granola bar.
On another note, yesterday was my 20th birthday!! So now I'm REALLY a 20-something! Yay! My goal was to be 172 by my birthday. This morning when I weighed, I was 171.1! I couldn't believe it!
I expect it to go up a little bit later this week seeing as my friends took me out to dinner at Carrabba's and it was DELICIOUS. My stomach hurt so bad after dinner because I was so full! One little "accomplishment" I had: my friend bought be three "gourmet" cupcakes from a bakery around here. I had one, and then gave the other 2 away to my roommates. One is still sitting on the counter AND I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN TEMPTED TO EAT IT!!!!!
It's pretty yummy.
