White Chocolate Strawberry Goodness


This is my new friend. I am sure I don't really want to know what is in it that makes it taste so yummy but I love it. It has only 100 calories, no fat, less than 5 mg of cholesterol, 5 grams of protein, 250 mg of potassium, and it has 20% Daily Value of Calcium and Vitamin D, 15% Daily Value Vitamin A and Phosphorus. On the down side it does have 85 mgs of sodium and 14 grams of sugar :(
I am dieting. Again. After only 3 weeks I am minus almost 10 pounds :) Unfortunately, I am one of those people who can be really successful dieting for about a month then I get bored/frustrated with the whole thing and give up. But hopefully this time I am going to be more motivated to stick with it. I have been going to the gym at least 3 times a week and at least once a week going for a long swim or playing beach volleyball. I have been doing at least 45 minutes of cardio and some light weight training and I am seeing results on the scale and some of my pants are fitting better. I am not really on any type of "diet plan" really I am just neurotically watching every bite I take. And trying to really balance out my diet. Which brings me back to the I love me some flavored yoghurt story. I don't drink milk. I just don't like to drink it straight from the carton. (and in St. Kitts it is also not always the most available product) Now if I put some Cinnamon Toast Crunch (the same cereal I have been eating for the last 15 years) in my milk I have no problem eating the cereal and drinking the left over milk. But have you ever looked at what is in Cinnamon Toast Crunch? LOTS of SUGAR! Which is probably why it is so so good. So while I know its not perfect for a calcium source, yoghurt is at least something that I will eat. Plus, the white chocolate strawberry is freakin delicious! It is sweet and makes me feel like I am really indulging but sans guilt.
With finals coming up and a lot of late night studying and sitting on my bum for hours on end I am worried that my diet may be in jeopardy. Then I am going home for two weeks which means I will have access to places like SONIC and their crispy fried french fries! Oh dear.

They make cinnamon toast crunch with 1/3 the sugar, and I actualy like it better :)
