{Live} Skinny Cow Shake-Stir Ice Cream Shake Review | Take One

Did you hear the one about the girl who tried to squeeze herself into a bridesmaid’s dress four sizes too small? Yep, that’s me. I tried the dress on again recently just to make sure - sucking in and pulling tight - but that didn’t make the 3 inch swath of back fat disappear. I even had Hubby help, but no jiggering could get the zipper to close.
Yes, I’ve been watching what I eat (I won this challenge), and trying to get in a little exercise here and there, but I’m still a good 30 pounds off what I was before Jane was born. This is not helpful when you are trying to fit yourself into a slip of fabric manufactured for some hip-less waif. I went through the humiliation once already last year (chanting, it’s not about me, it’s about the bride), and vowed not to put myself in that position again. But here I am. Again.
So what’s a mom to do? One of my friends suggested a crash diet of lettuce and vodka drinks.
Well, I’m sure a diet is in order, but something more moderate would probably be healthier. So when I received the opportunity to try Skinny Cow, I thought it sounded like a great product to try and swap out for more sinful sweets.
Jane and I had so much fun shopping at Target for a Skinny Cow Shake-Stir. We took our time, since Sam was home with Hubby and it was a very rare time we were out and about together. We hit the makeup section, the paper goods section, the dollar bins…
But when it was time to get our Shake-Stir, all we found was some Haagen Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s. Not exactly diet-friendly. So we passed.
Did I tell you I’ll be stuffing my sausage-body into its chiffon casing in 3 weeks? So we’ll be going to a bigger, newer Target tomorrow. Skinny, here we come!
