Hello, friends! Hows your day going? After hours of manual labor, my patootie was surely glad to be desk side today. Man, I'm a wimp. In between interviewing and phone calls, I managed to get in a 5 mile run on the treadmill (love the proximity of my gym to work!). My foot is slowly getting better (yes, I did have a small set back from 2 weeks ago. I'm not the brightest human in the world, but I'm also not sorry I did it. So there :-P Right now I'm trying to work back up to being comfortable with the longer distances and not worrying so much about speed. I bit the bullet and signed up for the Portland (Maine) Half Marathon on September 30th, so along with a few shorter tri's, there my season!
But enough of that active stuff (psshhhh). After a long day at work and a decent run, I was looking for a sweet ending to the day....without breaking the (calorie) bank. I love chocolate to bits, but have an eensy problem with portion control. ( C'mon, I know I;m not the only one). I also had no desire to cook anything in this heat. So I sorted through my flagged blog recipes and came upon this gem that I altered somewhat...and fell instantly in love (Well, okay. 30 minutes later in love with, cause I froze it). No excuses. You need to make this baby TONIGHT. Check it out!

And that, my friends, made my day. Nah, I don't need to win the lottery. Just give me chocolate. And my skinny jeans (capris, I guess right now).

2 tbsp cocoa
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp sugar free syrup
1 packet Equal
In a shallow bowl, add in cocoa powder and equal. Pour in milk and sugar free syrup, stir lightly until all powder and liquids are combined.
Option 1: Eat immediately at room temperature.
Option 2: Stick in the freezer for 15 minutes, and the frosting will take on the consistency of fudge. Break off bits with a spoon....yum yum yum.
Guilt free nutrition stats: (serves 1)
40 calories (using skim milk, sugar free syrup and dark cocoa)
Not bad for a chocolate snack attack!
