Thanks Mertex. I'm with you on getting some things done today. That's what days off are for. lol Many errands and increased exercises. Today, a flu shot. This is a beautiful week at the coast with temps in the low 60's and light showers. They feel like a day at the spa, when walking outside. No one wears a hat or carries umbrellas as showers, generally are so soft. Sometimes into winter, showers change to rain, and then a hoodie suffices.Hope everyone is having a great day, already. It's a beautiful morning here in Texas.......maybe I'll get some things done.......
I so agree on the ice cream preference. Sometimes I will go with sherbert, just to avoid the fat from ice cream. It does have almost too much sugar in it, for me, but I do like it. Pineapple sherbert or rainbow.I don't drink any of that stuff, but I'm happy to eat it in ice cream form.
Ummmm, that sounds pretty good.....and 4 g of fiber, you can't beat that........but it's low fat....is it any good? I've tried some of the low fat ice-cream in other brands and they usually don't taste that good.
I REFUSE to eat low fat unless it actually is enjoyable to eat. I'd rather exercise a little more and enjoy my indulgences to the fullest.
I don't like much of the low-fat that's out there, but I'm always willing to try. I use the low-fat half and half for my coffee and I really can't tell the difference. I've gotten used to 1% milk, although whole milk tastes sooooo good. I've also been drinking diet coke for so long, the real coke makes me gag. But, in ice cream I've yet to find one that I can really say it tastes just as good or better than the real thing.
I can only have a little bit of either. I am wild for some sherbert and ice cream but my diabetes prohibits me from being a piggy face. Lame.
Oh, and before I forget it, a warm Coffee Shop welcome to @SmarterThanThe Average Bear who joined us for the first time yesterday evening. Welcome, welcome and we hope you're enjoying USMB and will find, as many of us have, the Coffee Shop to be a welcome refuge from the sometimes contentiousness out there.

You really want to avoid Haagen Dazs ice cream then, because that stuff is loaded with fat. But then that's why it tastes so good...I so agree on the ice cream preference.

I agree on the sherbert, (alt. sp. sherbet).

Dang foxy, that cup looks like it is made of chocolate and can be eaten at the same you are drinking your coffee! I want some..........
I had 9 hours of sleep yesterday and 8 hours last night. My body doesn't know what to do with it as I usually get an average of 6 1/2 hours.Okay, I'm outta bed........ That's the best I can say right now.......
You and me both. Being in the same time zone I can relate. I've been up just under an hour but needed that extra sleep. But after a cup of coffee--about to have my second--things are improving. Good morning all.

It's okay to splurge every now and then and have something you really like.

I agree. You don't want to eat ribeye steaks every day because that wouldn't be good for you. But every now and then, I see enjoying a great steak with all the fat, salt, sauce, sides, and calories as one of life's guilty pleasures and, with restraint, no harm, no foul.
Same with enjoying ice cream. We don't indulge all that often, but when we do we go for the full flavor, full enjoyment, full pleasure.
A fat, sugar and salt laden diet as our normal fare is not good for any of us. But neither is a fat free, salt free diet of twigs and leaves over the long haul.
Moderation in all things and enjoy life. Hard to go wrong with that philosophy I say.
The wife loves the all natural (no sugar) peanut butter, of course it always needs to be remixed when it's first opened. Used to do it by hand till I figured out I can use an electric mixer with only one mixing blade in it...... Makes life so much easier........

There is a bakery near my house that sells the most amazing gelato. Every now and again I treat myself to their vanilla gelato. Heavenly is a word I would use to describe it.

I'm going to grill a 2" thick ribeye tonight and top it with blue cheese , as a side we will have baked potato covered with butter, sour cream, bacon, green onions , and cheddar cheese. As well as grilled asparagus and some nice artisan bread.
Then I'll be up at 0530 tomorrow getting ready for a 6 mile run.

There is a big theater complex in San Antonio, with IMAX, called the Palladium.....it's kind of far from where we live, but once in a while we decide to see a 3-D movie on the IMax screen and they have a Gelato store in the theater.....that's about the only time I get some. They have about 20 flavors, it seems, and they all look so delicious. Somehow I seem to always end up getting the same one, though.....
