    Frozen "Boo"-nana Pops

    Servings: 4 • Size: 1 banana pop
    Calories: 98 • Fat: 4.5 g • Protein: 1.3 g • Carb: 14 g • Fiber: 0.7 g • Sugar: 10.7
    Sodium: 13.8 mg

    Ingredients:

    * 1 medium banana
    * 1 cup white chocolate
    * 8 mini chocolate chips
    * 4 popsicle sticks


    Directions:

    Cut banana in half lengthwise, then in half to make four quarters.

    Insert popsicle sticks into bananas, and freeze bananas on a wax paper lined cookie sheet.

    When the bananas are frozen, fill a coffee mug with chocolate. Melt chocolate in the microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring until the chocolate is melted and soft.

    Dip the bananas one at a time into the chocolate, scraping off the excess chocolate from the back of the banana, and place it on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Quickly add the chocolate chips for the eyes before the chocolate hardens (you have to work quickly here).

    Return to the freezer until frozen and ready to eat. Eat frozen.

    My 'spooky' story I suppose.

    Last year I was part of a trio of BFF's, I lived with one of my BF's and the other one lived no that far away. My roommate and I were hanging out with our third friend and she had been having bad stomach pains throughout the entire day. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but her having Chron's meant it could be serious. Finally at around 1 in the morning we convinced her to go to the hospital. As we lived on campus we had to park in the designated parking lot, so my roomie and I went to grab the car. On the way to the car we passed the rec center and their mini parking lot for certain faculty, we looked over and there were a few cars there but strangely enough their was a small sized women standing staring at a car. If you've seen paranormal activity, she was standing like the girl does when she stands at the edge of the bed for hours. We thought it was weird but were in a rush to get our friend to the hospital.

    Three-four hours go by and we finally drop our friend off at her place and are parking the car for the night. We have to walk by the rec center again and the girl we saw earlier is still standing in the EXACT same place in the same way. We both quietly comment and pick up our pace and all of the sudden robotically she turns towards us and stares. We ran.

    Had to be the scariest thing of my life!

    Alrighty, here's my tip, and it's something I find myself doing frequently.

    On most days, I either call my mom or grandparents to check in during one of my many breaks between classes. I always step outside to make the call. Instead of sitting at one of the many benches and picnic tables, I walk. I walk back and forth, in circles, in a circuit around the courtyard, anything! Even if it's raining, I'll walk back and forth underneath the overhang by the doors. Before I know it, it's been about a half hour to 45 minutes, and I was active the entire time!!

    Just a little something I've noticed I've been doing. And it comes to show that even the smallest activity is still activity! :happy:

    Do you eat Tofurkey?

    Also, I think the Friday exercise challenge is TOO cute. I've been so run-focused recently that it'll be fun to be forced to pull out one of my old videos. Nice job. Thanks, ladies!

    I posted this NSV on my status, but I'll post it here, too, since that is also one of our weekly challenges and I might not be guaranteed another. In October I ran more than 113 miles! Yipee!
