Day 52- Kit Kat Attack

Okay girls this post is for you. I know that at "certain times" I crave chocolate.  I'm not talking about "oh, it sure would be nice to have a piece of chocolate" but "OH SWEET JESUS! I NEED CHOCOLATE NOW!" This is what happened to me today on my way out of work...so instead of fighting it I gave in a picked up a kit kat bar.  The whole bar was only 210 calories but that is a small price to pay for heaven. It Happens.

Day 52- Ready Made Food

Just because you don't have time to make all your meals doesn't mean you can't stay on track.  I find it easier to calculate my calories on days that I've been too busy to cook because the nutrition info is right there on the label. No breaking a recipe down into single servings.  But don't do this everyday because homemade is usually healthier than prepackaged because you know (and can control) exactly what your eating.

Week 7- Weight Loss Update

This week I lost .5 lbs.  Although it's not as much as I would have liked...It's still a step in the right direction.  The scale keeps going down week after week.  I just need to keep doing what I'm doing and it will add up and I'll be at my goal weight in no time.

Day 49- Sandwich Gets an Upgrade

Today's topic is: choosing the right bread.  I know when I first started on this weight loss journey I found eating only half a sandwich odd and unfulfilling so in order to combat that I searched for the most flavorful bread I could find.  Pepperidge Farm Deli Swirl Bread is now my everyday pick.  The pumpernickel and rye combo really makes my taste buds happy and the once too small sandwich now seems like the perfect portion.

PS: If you don't like robust breads then you can always go for a low calorie thin sliced bread and use 2 slices for your sandwiches.
