Vitamin C, Music, and Muffins

There is a wonderful product found at health stores called "Emer'gen-C". It's a fizzy packet of vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals that you add to water. I've been downing 3 of these in a large glass of water today and yesterday. It's probably why I've been feeling as good as I have been, I just get impatient and want to be all better... NOW! hehe

Music is a wonderful drug. It can lift spirits, energize, relax, and lull me to sleep. I've discovered two blog sites that I will keep going back to. They are Anonymous Fat Woman http://www.afw.typepad.com/ and Kallipugos http://kallipugos.blogspot.com/ . I found the latter when I was googling for a muffin recipe that I use with my weight watchers. AFW I found from Kerri's site. The point of telling you all this, is that AFW has run a 5k recently, and I was reading about her ipod list.

Now, I've been walking to school with my 80's mix. I enjoy it, but I decided to make a "grrl power" list as well. This is what I came up with:

I baked a lot today. I made a batch of the banana bran muffins (2 pts each). Recipe is: a box of Krusteaz fat free banana bread mix, 3 cups of All-Bran, 2 1/2 cups water, 1 banana, handful of craisins, smidge of orange extract. It's about 2 points a muffin. I follow the baking directions on the box. I also made brownie bran muffins, which doesn't sound great I know hehe, and doesn't look pretty. But the recipe for that is box of Krusteaz fat free brownie mix, same bran as above, and a smidge of peppermint extract. It helps my chocolate cravings. When I make these batches, I put half in the freezer, cause you do NOT want to eat more than 2 a day really :P They'll keep ya very regular, that's for sure. I like em cause it feels like cheating to have a delicious baked good in the morning with coffee, or as a snack before I go to bed. At 2 points though, it helps me stay on my Weightwatchers plan.

Speaking of which... I gained .5 a pound again this week. I'm tired of taking 2 steps forward, and one step back. I know I know, I have only myself to blame. I didn't write down all my points, so I'm back to writing the points if I stick it in my mouth. The quirky absurd sense of humor that I have, immediately jumps to the T-shirt I saw once, that read "Fat girls give better head 'cause we're always hungry" Yeah mmm. That would be 0 points right there... hmm I don't think I'd write it down though, haha.
