Starbucks

I LOOOVVVVEEEEEE STARBUCKS....

I love the mocas, and I usually get them with a shot of mint.

AND I am addicted to Java Chip Frappachinos...

Here is where things will start taking a turn for the worse.

Starbucks just reciently posted their nutrition facts on their coffee's on their web site, I know it hasent been there before cause I have checked.

Today I found out that the Venti - Java Chip - Frappachinos (w/ whipped cream) that I drank every day all summer ($5 a pop = lunch) are 650 calories and 25 grams of fat!

woops...... could be why I didnt loose weight this summer even though I worked out every day...

Now they have Frappachino Lights, but they aren't that good either. Even though lower in calories (350 compaired to 650) they are still high in fat. Not sure why this is so since they use a non-fat milk mixture and no whipp, could be the web site is wrong and is pulling the data from the wrong place. anywho....

I also looked up my other fave drink (Grande Mint Moca). Whole milk and whipped cream are 400 calories and 22 grams of fat (Very bad!). Today I had a non fat, no whip wich cuts the claories to 230 and 2 grams fat instead of 22. (Very good!)

Anywho... Just found that interesting.... so if you are a Starbucks lover like me, here is the web site to check out how many calories you are drinking... http://www.starbucks.com/retail/nutrition_beverages.asp

Now that I think about it, this would be why I gained 20 lbs my first year of college, cause I lived at the coffee house and drank like 4 Grande Mint Mocas a night... holy crap!

I have been very good for the past two weeks with watching what is going into my mouth. I started going back to exercise last week. I got measured and weighed. Yeah, I've gained 26 lbs since July of 03! Holy fucking shit. I just about had a freaking heart attack. No wonder shit doesn't fit me. It does make me feel better to think that my boobs must be at least 10-15 lbs of it!
