I went on a search for my Jello sugar free Rice pudding. I just can't give them up, lactose intolerant or not. They have been my salvation and the reason why I haven't been craving sweets since I've started on this journey.
I've looked in four supermarkets, and they are all out. So I went on the opposite direction of where I've gone already, to two more supermarkets.
Associated didn't have it, finally I found four packs left on the shelf at Foodtown, so I bought them all. I also found a new sweetener, Sun Crystals. It's made from real sugar cane and the Stevia plant, and contains 5 calories per packet. Now, that sounds like a good amount of calories, however, I don't know how many packets it may take for my taste buds.Image from: Sun Crystals
I plan to use it in a little while when I make my lunch. I hope it taste good.
Today's walk: 1.72 miles.

2:38 PM:Guess what? My taste buds are okay with just 1 packet of Sun Crystals:) The box states that 1 packet is equal to 2 tsp. of sugar. With Ideal, which is my main sweetener, I use 1.5 packets, with Wheylow sweetener, the one I replaced with Ideal, I used to use 2.5 packets. So, I am thrilled that I only need one with this one.
Now, the bad news is, that I'm allergic to the plain Stevia tabs, "Sweet Leaf", but since this one is mixed, I'm hoping that it will not affect me. Only time will tell.
No weights workout today, my neck feels very stiff. I'm listening to my body.

Total for today: 1,258 calories.
