Few of my "new" vices

*Splurge Free Drink!!!

So I'm such a fan of Starbucks...yes I know, wasted calories when you consume them in drinks but sometimes it's hard to resist. The other day I was stopping at my local Albertson's to pick up a few groceries, and of course my Albertson's has a Starbucks in it, leading me to a craving...when I got to thinking.  I wonder if I can make a fat free, sugar free Italian soda.  I found some sugar free vanilla syrup, club soda, fat free half and half, and ice.  Went home and made the greatest "splurge" drink ever  It's basically calorie free (only about 10 calories for the amount of half and half I use) and it totally beats a Starbucks drink any day in my book (because I know it's a calorie free drink!!)  Here's my recipe:

Glass full of ice, fill it about 3/4 way full with club soda.  Add 1 tsp or 2 of  fat free half & half, add any flavor syrup to taste.  Stir and enjoy!

* Dance Dance Revolution

Some might think I am a total geek, but I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Dance Dance Revolution, it's a video game where you dance to the beat of the song playing while you have to choreograph your steps with the screen at the precise moment.  It's a challenge, but if you got a little rhythm-  You can totally do it!!  I love the great workout you get with it, without even knowing that you are working out.

So today I totally challenged myself while playing, I would dance a song, then immediately go and run 5-10 suicides in my basement.  Killer workout and it was great knowing that I am conditioning myself to run. 

So tonight I must say I feel like I totally accomplished something!  And that is truly one of the greatest feelings!  Goodnight Blogworld!
