Updates and Ice Cream!

Admittedly, I have been slacking at updating this blog in the last few weeks. My weigh in is tomorrow so let me get you up to speed:
- Two weeks ago I had a pretty exciting loss of 1.8
- Last week I gained 0.6 for a two week loss of 1.2...not too bad
- I am on track this week to STS...so that's not great but it isn't horrible either
- Tracking is not perfect...but it's not totally off the table either and for the time being, that's fine with me. I'm just doing my best I can while still living my life
- In terms of upcomming challenges, I'm heading home both of the next two weekends - this weekend for a belated father's day and next weekend to throw my parent's a 25th anniversary party! So should be fun although maybe tough at times - I'll have to make sure I boost up the exercise these next two weeks.

Ok on to the fun stuff... I was recently taught that you can very easily make your own ice cream! Jeff and I were skeptical so we decided to try it out - and it worked well :) And I'm told it works with any kind of milk/juice making it pretty point friendly.

Here's how we did it:

Mix the ingredients in a small ziploc bag:
1 cup of skim milk
2 tbsps of sugar or sweetener
1/2 tsp of vanilla
*this is for 2 servings 1/2 c. servings, you can easily half it to just make one

Fill a large ziploc bag with ice and 5 tbps of salt (table salt works fine), then add the small ziploc bag and shake, shake shake! It takes about 15 minutes so you'll get some exercise!Note the oven mits...it gets super cold so you'll need something to protect your hands. It tatsed great! It's not the consictency of ice cream, since it's made with mik it's icier but still really good, I'd definatly like to try it with other ingridients...we were thinking maybe chocolate milk next time.

That's it for now, I'll update soon with this weeks weigh in and maybe some menus :)

Happy Wednesday!
