Arctic Zero

Ice Cream is a REALLY big weakness for many people.  Good news for them!  I have discovered a really good treat that is way lower in calories! Arctic Zero! It's in the ice cream section. I have only found it in the pint sized containers. But the WHOLE pint is 150 calories! I think it says the 1/2 cup serving is 37 calories.  That's compared to the same serving of yogurt or ice cream being around 90 calories or more.  I have tried the chocolate peanut butter, which is good, but it's not as creamy as normal fattening ice cream, but it's still a nice treat.  My favorite is the maple vanilla. MMMM!!! That one is really really good and it seems to have more of a creamy texture.  So far those are the only 2 flavors I have found. I will continue to look. I MUST try the cookies and cream!  The ingredients are great!  Natural and Organic, non gmo, with 14 grams of whey protein per pint!  A really guilt-free treat!

Get your JAMZ on!

If you can't stand running, walking, jogging on the treadmill or outside.... music makes a big difference! Get some good tunes in your ears!  ( The cupid Shuffle has a nice beat to keep you moving )  If your gym has wifi, get spotify on your phone!  I recently started using that instead of my ipod. There's a free version that plays a commercial like every 5 or 6  songs it seems... not very often.  It's like having a jukebox at your fingertips with pretty much every song you could ever want. You can make your own playlist of songs also. Great tool to keep you going!  You just bebop along at whatever pace you pick and listen to a few songs, next thing you know, you are already 20 minutes in!
