Tonight was dollar scoop night at Baskin Robbins. I LOVE dollar scoop night! I know, i know, not condusive to weight loss but yummy! So back to the yum yum ice cream….so we have been going there some weeks as a treat and i get the same thing everytime…peanut butter n chocolate. Well, after my mishap friday with Blue bell adding wheat flour into their milk chocolate i had this nagging feeling that i needed to re check the ingredients bc ingredients can change at anytime, hence my mishap. Well, the manager/owner was not there tonight so i got to deal with the teens/early 20’s and their lovely and helpful customer service skills After much convincing, i was able to get my hands on the list of ingredients and voila…still gluten free! Yay me! Then i look at the bucket nextdoor to mine and it contains wheat. So i tell the girl to please use a different scooper from that container bc it would contaminate it. She looked at me like i had two heads! But she did it and i feel fine. Yay! So i think i am definitely having my one week out of the month where i crave sweets bc i have certainly tackled them this week now that i am slowly starting to feel better.

Gray and I ate at my favorite Greek and Lebanese restaurant tonight. I had rice pilaf, chicken swarma, and eggplant parmesan yum!

So I’m feeling a little better today, and what do i do LOL! I ate potato skins for lunch and had a pumpkin spice frappucino for dessert! And I am happy to report that I am feeling fine after both! Yay! FINALLY! Of course I made sure they were all gluten free first. My face is still bloated from all my mistakes lately and so is my belly but it takes several days to heal.

 I made gluten free Pumpkin Pancakes last night from a recipe I found at Glutenfreemommy.com  That is an awesome site! Worth checking out if you need GF recipes. She is great! The pancakes turned out great. I used Arrowhead Mills Pancake mix which already had the flours and baking powder needed. I put in brown sugar as well. They were so yummy. I also topped them with cool whip. Yes, i know, not the most dietary meal BUT in my defense it has been quite a while since I have eaten dessert and i generally eat pretty healthy meals now so I splurged last night. My son ate them plain and loved them.

I’m still trying to decrease the coke. It is supposed to be gf but it is bothering me for some reason. Maybe the acid! Who knows. I had two cans yesterday and two cans today. That is a major decrease for me! Hopefully it will continue and i can kick the cokes and the rest of this weight!
