been missing out

Seems we all got somethin to say on this subject! Just had a glass the other night of Mexican Mudslide...pre-
mixed in a bottle..put it in the blender with some ice...volia! Mudslide Smootie!! (G) My son
thought it was gross so I got his glass too. Shot the whole wad of flex points I'm sure! lol Have to
make the husband not bring that home anymore!

Ok on Dotties Weight Loss Zone here is what she says on Mudslides, and a few
others.....
Top 5 worst drinks:
1. Margarita in a pint glass (2 oz. tequila, 2 oz. margarita/sour mix, 1 oz. triple sec, lime juice,
1 tsp. sugar) - 550 calories (11)
2. Mudslide (1.5 oz. coffee liqueur, 1.5 oz. Irish cream, 1.5 oz. vodka) - 417 calories (8.5)
3. Long Island Ice Tea (1 oz. vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple sec, 2 oz. sour mix, splash of
cola) - 380 calories (8)
4. White Russian (1.5 oz. vodka, 1.5 oz. coffee liqueur, 1.5 oz. cream) - 320 calories (6.5)
5. Piña Colada (1.5 oz. rum, 1.5 oz. coconut cream, 3 oz. pineapple juice) - 293 calories (6)

So I was right....blew the whole wad of flex points! lol

Yeah. Me too. Sort of. I have found that I can do about 4 oz of wine with dinner with no problem,
but more than that is a real sick maker.

it makes me feel the next day or so.

That's the beauty of having a hubby that makes cocktails for fun.........I can make WW friendly ones
- cut out the sugar (use sweetener or not at all), not bother with the cream, only use diet sodas
for mixers, all that kind of thing...... ah the beauty of a good mojito......
