80 degrees bring 1st Rita's Trip

With a day of 80 degree weather, Charlie and I both wanted to go to Rita's Water Ice. Knowing we are both trying to incorporate more exercise into our lives, we decided to walk with Lloyd to Rita's. we looked it up and it would be a 3 mile round trip walk, perfect!!

As always I tried to plan ahead using My Fitness Pal before heading out anywhere so I know what is a healthy option. I had decided on a regular size gelati with sugar free water ice and sugar free custard, for 220 calories.

After we enjoyed our leisurely walk to Rita's we got there and found out that their sugar free water ice option was cherry which I HATE! So back to My Fitness Pal to get a second option. I ended up getting regular sized gelati with Swedish fish and sugar free custard which was 302 calories which was exactly how many calories I had left for the day from my 1200.

It was absolutely delicious, and Lloyd loved his treat too!

When I got home, I put our walk into my Fitness Pal and it told me I had burned 167 calories. Since choosing to walk, I had burned off a little more than HALF of my dessert.

So choosing to walk had allowed me to rid myself of my Rita's craving, not go over my 1200 calories, enjoy a beautiful night with my husband and exhaust Lloyd!
