Mini Size for Mini Thighs

So today.....feeling a little sluggish and tired (cue Bryan realizing uh oh....).....plus been working really hard at eating to my metabolism (eating my RMR) I decided to treat myself with a 330 cal mini butterfinger blizzard.

Its SO yummy...and I budgeted into my day. The only thing....think about it...that is 330 cals and its TINY...its a MINI....who eats the large? A mini size is perfect for guilt free treating.

you SHOULD eat dessert when you feel like it. It helps signal an end to the meal. But only eat a few bites......after that you are just ramming it into your mouth just because. Let yourself enjoy sweets but in moderation.

I say treat yourself. My blog isn't about giving up Snickers or chips...just budget it in and allow yourself a treat. A treat should be something you look forward to and enjoy. Don't treat yourself everyday...otherwise it won't be a treat.

It does help to eat sugar-y foods earlier in the day so you have time to burn it off...or let your body process it before you go to bed. Eating right before you sleep....your body doesn't burn it off.....that is another blog though :)

Also, before reaching for sugary treats.....think about it. Ask yourself if you ate a fruit or something else to just get that taste...would it curb your craving? If not, go for it....but really analyze if you are TRULY craving it or just wanting a little something sweet.

so...go forth and TREAT...and treat ye in mini-yth size...for those mini thighs. (summer is a comin' ya'll)

PS....maybe do a lunge or squat for every bite you put in your mouth. Come on...its mini so its not too many.
