Starbuck’s Cold Cups are BACK!

May 5, 2010 by DanicasDaily 8 Comments

Happy Hump Day all!  Today was AMAZING outside – it’s my ideal, perfect weather…in the 70’s, sunny with a light breeze.  I LOVE spring and fall….oh and the Farmer’s Markets that start tomorrow!!! 😀

My meeting was pretty eventful tonight.  I was up 1 lb, but, it was sort of expected since I haven’t done a great job balancing my fruits/veggies with my doughy carbs.  This week I am definitely getting back to that!

I wasn’t really hungry for breakfast this morning but I made sure to have a little protein and a little carbs in my Iced Venti Decaf Latte (3 pts).

I never ended up having breakfast and instead jumped right to my mid morning snack of WATERMELON…..I LOVE watermelon!  I totally makes me think of summer and BBQs.  My entire two cup bowl was 2 pts.

Plus a little Cabot to add protein staying power (1 pt).

Lunch was a simple, but, tasty salad from Gillwood’s Cafe…I was quick to trade in my lunch at the chance to eat outside and chat it up again with my friend 🙂

3 cups Romaine

1/4 chopped fuji apple

2 Tbsp chopped walnuts

2 oz grilled chicken

2 Tbsp Fat Free Raspberry Walnut dressing

5 points of deliciousness!  I MUST recreate this salad!

Having a light lunch salad totally left me with room for Free Waffle Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s….ummmm, the most important part!

I requested 1 scoop of the Berry Berry Sorbet and it was HUGE, but, worth every bite.  I pretty much ate the entire thing and pondered licking the wrapper :D….. 6 pt estimate

I needed to get my Cinco De Mayo for the day…..so dinner was 2 Spicy Chicken Tacos from Vasquez for 8 pts…. <3

After our quick fiesta, I dropped The Husband off to play poker and made a quick stop at Starbuck’s to pick up lattes for my hair dresser and I.  I actually really thought I’d get an iced tea, but, when it came down to it, I went with what I really wanted….a tall ff, decaf latte with caramel drizzle (2 pts).  I may or may not have bought my hair dresser one of their cupcakes and had a little 😉

How BEAUTIFUL are the flowers her man got her for their 4 year anniversary.

I stared at then my entire appointment.  I LOVE bright colors ~ they make me happy….No MOM/SIS/HUSBAND, I didn’t say rainbows 😀

    Wow that salad just looks amazing! And I am so happy with it getting warmer out, I love love love iced coffee. However, I am looking forward to winter because I love their red cups. Now if they only had red cold cups–that would be saucy!

    I keep meaning to grab a re-usable cup but haven’t had. I don’t know why though since I feel like I live at Starbucks since there is one in my bldg at work and one less then 900 feet from my apt (and yes I was bored one day and counted lol)
