Room for Indulgence

Ghirardelli Chocolate Gourmet Milk Creamy DevotionIf you saw my Weight Watchers video last week, you’ll know that I’ve had a hard time getting back into a healthy eating routine. Truth be told, I haven’t been 100% on my Weight Watchers program since mid-December. I start with good intentions every morning and by 4pm I somehow find a piece of bread or pita chips in my mouth and it goes downhill from there.

I love Weight Watchers because it’s a lifestyle more than a diet and because the PointsPlus system guides me towards smarter choices (when I follow the program) and gives me room for indulgences (indulgences with boundaries).

I will get back on the program (this is a public commitment to myself) starting February 23, 2012.

Premium Chocolate Extravaganza!

Ghirardelli Chocolate Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion Sea Salt EscapeFor me, indulgence means chocolate or spa treatments. Both at the same time? Even better! I can’t always afford a day at the spa, but I can afford to splurge on a 2 point Ghirardelli chocolate square. Y-U-M!

In January I received a gift pack from Ghirardelli that included their new milk chocolate line, Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk. My gift pack included Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion with creamy 32% cacao milk chocolate, Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape with sea salt and almonds and Gourmet Milk Coconut Rendezvous with toasted coconut.

Did I mention I had fallen off of Weight Watchers and that I love chocolate? Needless to say, my family (yes, I shared) has been in a chocolate oasis for the last few weeks. Even the coconut infused chocolate was divine.

Going forward with my weight loss journey, I won’t intentionally eat that much chocolate in such a short amount of time, but I will incorporate chocolate into my daily Weight Watchers point allowance.

If I stay within my daily points, I know adding premium chocolate to my lifestyle will add a bit of indulgence to my daily routine without breaking the bank or breaking my scale.
