I'm a believer!!
So, here's the thing. I don't like mint and chocolate together, never have. York peppermint, Thin Mints....all totally lost on me.
And then today, I tried the Mint Cookie shake that everyone's been talking about.....yeah, so my husband is leaving now to to go buy me the 5 pound bag. Holy protein shake, Batman, that stuff is YUMMY!!
Gym membership - $60 a month
Surgery to help lose weight - $100,000 (I've seen the bill)
New addiction that I'm actually allowed to have - priceless!
Now, please excuse me while I go drink some more yumminess.

I've never been a big fan of mint chocolate either! But after all the rave reviews, I ordered the two pound container and it came yesterday! I'm going to try it tomorrow! I hope I'm as pleasantly surprised!
