The next 25

I didn't do too bad yesterday. I did not get my exercise in but I did get all my veggies in AND MY WATER!  I ate two spinach salads during the day. Not sure if I'll do that again. I don't mind spinach salad, but I should probably try a little more variety. I always put cinnamon almonds and dried cranberries in my salad and top it with balsamic and raspberry vinaigrette. By the end of last night, I was burping up cinnamon almonds. As much as I like them I don't really want to still be tasting them two hours later. lol
23 points for the day--points for everything except the exercise.

Well here's the next twenty five snack items from that list I found on Pinterest. (I'm adding some comments in red today).

26. Air-Popped Popcorn >>I need to buy those single serving bags. That would be perfect!
27. Pistachios
28. Clementines (we call them Cuties or Clemmies)
29. Fruit Smoothie (or Kristen's Green Smoothie- it's actually delicious!)
30. Handful of olives
31. Pickles
32. Handful of blueberries with 2 tablespoons fat-free Cool-Whip
33. Ants on a Log (celery with peanut butter and raisins) >>this is one of my all time favorites!
34. 1 cup mixed berry salad (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and/or blackberries) tossed with one tablespoon fresh-squeezed orange juice.
35. Peanut Butter and Bananas on whole wheat bread
36. Trail Mix (make your own! Throw in dried fruit, sunflower seeds, nuts, low-sugar cereals, and even the occasional piece of candy for something sweet.)

39. Graham Crackers
40. Small Green Salad with light dressing

42. Kabobs (thread low-fat meat, low-fat cheese, pineapple and cherry tomatoes onto a stick- my kids love anything on a stick!) >>>such a great idea, esp. for my kids!!! I'm thinking sliced ham for the low fat meat.
43. Half of a Cinnamon-Raisin topped with peanut butter and banana slices
44. Grilled Pineapple (throw them on the grill or a skillet on med. heat for two minutes or until golden)

47. Strawberries dipped in fat-free Cool Whip

50. Bowl of bran flakes with 1/2 cup skim milk and berries


Well, wish me luck today. We got a little extra money in the mail today so I'm thinking I want to go out for dinner. That means my calorie goals will probably be shot. I'll try to eat light the rest of the day. I still need to get in my workout too.
