251st New Thing - Drank Rockstar Roasted

I didn't have time to post last night, therefore I'm posting this a day late as this occurred yesterday (Wed 6/27/12).


Apparently, Rockstar makes and sells coffee drinks to convenience stores. My company had a breakfast party at 8am yesterday for all employees that participated in Bike to Work Day. They had Jamba Juice, Santiago's Breakfast Burritos, and Rockstar Drinks. I took and tried a 16 oz can of Rockstar Roasted Coffee & Energy Light Vanilla Roasted flavor (also made in Mocha Roasted and Latte Roasted flavors). Rockstar Roasted is a mix of espresso coffee, fresh milk, and cream with the blend of Original Rockstar. It is enhanced with the herbal blend of Guarana, Ginkgo, Ginseng, and Milk Thistle. The Light Vanilla flavor has 50% less fat & 50% fewer calories than original Rockstar Roasted. I didn't know what to expect (if it would be sugary, caffinated, or creamy). It was thin tasted a like a watered down Starbucks Coffee Frappuccino in the 9.5 oz glass bottle you can buy at grocery stores. The energy blend was impress with 240mg of caffeine per can, lots of B-vitamins, and some Guarana. I didn't feel too jolted but it did the trick. I think they retail at $3.25ish a can, therefore I would not purchase them at a store. I'm not a regular consumer of energy drinks so don't know the comparison.

What did you do today?

111th New Thing - Took a Zyrtec

If you recall, I went to the dermatologist to get a skin screening for the 1st time back in December. When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u...

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
