    Its hot here in North Carolina too. I get off work at four, but set my air conditioning at home to come on at six. If I want to keep cool until six, there's always to gym! Diabolical!

    Frozen grapes or fruit can be really refreshing.

    Yes I am that sad! I went to the gym this morning just to get some cool,air-conditioned loveliness! I did happen to do a workout while I was there so it's ok I guess. BUT I did treat myself to an ice-cream in the garden this afternoon xx

    It has been very hot today, apparently we're due thunderstorms that might cool it down....and you might not want ice cream anymore?

    Iceland to lolly ice cream sticks only 60 cals each!:bigsmile:

    make your own, lower fat version! http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/fruit-recipes/1-minute-berry-ice-cream is really good, though high in fruit sugars but we can't have everything.

    also, keep some bits of peeled/chopped banana in the freezer and when you feel the urge, blitz them up in a food processor. this makes the most amazing creamy ice dessert that you would swear had cream in it.

    (enabler, who me? :wink: )

    I'm not liking the banana frozen and blitzed. It goes too slimey. I really like banana but not mushed.

    I tried making some icecream with quark and berries and some sweetner. It was okay but nothing like proper icecream and when it was left int he freezer too long it went rock solid.

    Mini milks are quite good, i'm pretty sure they are about 50 cals or somethign like that, they are in the database. The chocolate ones are lush. Tesco's own version are even nicer than the walls ones but slightly more calories.

    Some good ideas there, thanks! :happy:
    The problem is I have some high calorie ice cream in the freezer which will "need" to be eaten at some stage!! As I only joined here this week, I haven't sorted out alternatives yet.:smile: Now, I wonder how many calories are in a teaspoon of icecream... (maybe it would be too tempting to replenish the spoon!)

    It's been hot here the last couple of days too and i had some ben and jerry's in. I did manage to have small amounts and not eat it all in one go. As long as you stay in your calories a little icecream wont hurt.

    My boss bought me an ice cream today without asking so I couldn't really say no. :)

    I managed to resist the ice cream but had a glass of lemonade instead. Then found I was over my calorie intake today by the same number of calories as that lemonade! Aaargh! :sad: So close! I've yet to get my calorie intake down to my target level. Still, I'm eating less than I would have done if not on MFP.:smile:
