My low-cal caramel Starbucks frappuccino

So during summer I am addicted to the Starbucks caramel frappuccino except they can be over 400 calories. So I played around at home until I found the perfect recipe using low cal alternatives. And my at home recipe makes it cheaper too :) since u can make 10 drinks for the price of 1

Here Is my recipe:

Caramel frappuccino (under 90 calories)

1/2 a pack of Starbucks via iced Caramel
Add 2 packets of Truvia/Stevia powder
Dissolve the powder in 6oz water
Pour into blender
Add 1 1/2 cups of ice
And add about 1/2 cup almond milk( add just to ice line & add more if it's to thick)

Ansle Adams wilderness backpacking trip

On august 26-28 2011 we went on another backpacking trip on the mono trail. The approx mileage there was 2 1/2 down and another 2 1/2 up. We went off trail there and really hiked down some rough areas. The distance wasn't that far but the terrain & grade was more difficult and made up for it. On this hike I felt strong again and never doubted my ability to handle it. I'm so happy with the choices I have made in my life to eat heathier and workout. TONEITUP is a life changing plan & I'm so glad I found them.

Just a update of Dinkey lakes trip

So I looked it up and read all the trails and decided the trail was approx. 9.5 miles and we added a hike to 3 lakes that was 1mile each. The Dinkey lakes wilderness trail was easy/moderate. The hikes that went of the trail to the upper lakes were a little more intense. After we followed the trail to 2nd Dinkey we dropped our packs and set up camp. Then we hiked up to island lake, rock lake and little lake. I did awesome up there! I felt great and accomplished a huge goal in my life.
