Huh? Never heard of it. But oh my! Total gorgeousness in a mouthful. I am so glad I can't get them in Ireland, especially the salt caramel one. I'd never lose any weight. Let me explain. At work today, I meet a couple from Minnesota. They were lovely, really nice, despite having to visit a tyre fitting garage for a rental car, while on holiday. When they were leaving, they gave me two mini chocolate bars, saying they were from Minnesota. (I'd told them that if I ever visited the States, it was the very northern ones that drew me for some reason.) It was such a seemingly small gesture, but it was made with generosity and a real friendliness. It really made me smile. I was surprised that I really enjoyed them. American chocolate isn't normally to my taste. I suppose one normally likes what one's used to and I'm very much a dark chocolate person.
Of course, I had to find out what the calorific value was, so I could add them to my day's food. It's a testament to the mfp database it had a calorie count for both. So there was no guess work involved, and I was able to add them to my food diary. The maple one was 70 cals, the salt caramel 83. Yummy. A real treat with a cup of coffee, and without guilt.
I've had my light hearted head on today. Smiling, more confident, flirting a bit with my customers {not fussy about gender either :-) } and it's been a great day. This weight loss thing is good for the soul. I can't over emphasize how good it feels to get smaller when you've been big, especially when you've been really big. I am far from slim. As yet, I'm still over sixteen stone. But I'm walking about as if I'm at my goal weight because I feel so good about my success so far.
