Extra's KEY LIME PIE

Avoiding snack-bar food can be difficult when you are surrounded by people enjoying hot-dogs , pizza, and today barbecue. One thing that helped me was chewing my  favorite sugar-free gum "Extra's Key Lime Pie"!

Today we were yet again in another gym (about 40 minutes from home).  I managed to keep Chloe corralled
in the second row of the bleachers.  I had a bag of toys, snacks, and my I-phone (which is her first choice) to keep her busy and happy.  I managed to get through the first half with no minor incidents but during the second half she became BORED.  So ...I broke out the sucker, by the time she finished and the buzzer sounded, she had it on her outfit and in her hair.  During the second game the little guy next to us had pizza so I was glad there was a time-out on the floor so I could go ask the coach (my hubbie) for some cash.  As he talked with his players I had to break-up the huddle to ask for some snack-bar money ( I felt this was important enough and we were winning by 20 points or more).

Pizza for one!

Receiving lots of attention!

Now we are back in the stands and as some of you may know, I am trying to watch my calories so the pizza was a major temptation for me.  As I was placing Chloe's pacifier back into my bag I spotted the green shiny package in the corner-my Extra Key Lime Pie sugar-free gum.  This little miracle saved me from devouring the rest of my daughter's pizza and going for the man's barbecue next to me:-)
