I have one spare moment between vacuuming, laundry,
putting away clothes, etc.. etc... to say this:
Today's workout was nice. I've realized that I could definately
power walk for an hour every day (if I only had this kind of time!)
When I hit 30 min, I don't want to get off the treadmill, but the
"be a good mommy" sign flashes before my eyes and I jump off.
Even though things on my body flap in the breeze of my "gazelle-
type jogging", it feels wonderful. It's sad to say, but true, that I
can gauge my weightloss on the sound echo of the newly reduced
flab! I did 40 min. today.
I tried the off brand of the "Fiber One" bars, which I found at Kroger's.
They are called chocolate and oats "Healthy Lifestyle Bar" (How funny!)
I love em! They were 3 boxes for $5. How does this compare to you Sam's
club shoppers or Walmart's prices???
Can I tell you one more time how much I LOVE frozen greenbeans
stir-fryed? Oh my!!! I ate leftovers from last night's dinner- yummy!!!
Yes, they are better hot, fresh out of the skillet.
If you want to fool yourself into believeing that you are eating a bigger
sandwich: layer the lettuce and tomatoes 2 times intstead of just one and
use less meat for lower points. For example, bread, mustard, lettuce,
tomatoe,2 thin slices of deli meat, lettuce, tomatoe, lite mayo and bread.
It looks like some sort of massive triple decker sandwich. Yummmmm!
Also, I must rant and rave about the delicious "Baked Lay Ruffles" potato
chips. It's only 2 points for 9 chips!!! You can have a serving of chips and
a triple decker sandwhich for less than 6 points! Tack on some free raw
veggies and there you go! What a fun summer lunch. Oh.. and of course
those fiber one bars are only 2 points.. so there's a "cheap" dessert!
I'll keep you update on how it turns out.. but my granny is making a
Weight Watchers Pineapple Angelfood Cake for my mom's bday party
on Sat. My mom is turning 50!!!! Anyhow, I guess you take an angelfood
cake mix and add one can of crushed pineapple plus juice. Bake as directed.
Slice fresh strawberries and sprinkle splenda over them OR buy the frozen
sliced strawberries sweetened with splenda. Serve with ff coolwhip.
I hear it's to die for! I'll let you know :)
Gotta run and plan out this menu for my mom's party!! ahhhhh!

Life is Good because of God! Thumbs up!!!

Great tips, Kara! Love them! Unfortunately, granola is not recommended for people with high LDL's (which you don't have to worry about). Neither is lunch meat. So...those types of things are now a thing of the past for me.
Keep up the inspiring posts! Love you tons.
I appreciate all of the tips :-)
I know Jessica has had the Kroger fiber one bars and said they were very good as well. I'm sure they're cheaper. I'm not as huge of a fan of the chocolate though as the caramel or peanut butter. Do you know if they have either of those flavors, too? I'm sure they're cheaper than Wal-Mart or Sam's Club, but I don't have that info at my fingertips.
I am putting frozen green beans on my grocery list right now! From Aldi's even? I'm looking forward to trying these!
I have had the pineapple angel food cake a couple of times in the past with FF cool whip (never with strawberries though, yum). I made it one time and somehow did not rise the way it was supposed to, but was still pretty flavorful. Enjoy..hmm...I may have to make that again :-) Sweets are my downfall, can ya tell? Oh, who am I kidding? I like all food!
That is awesome girlie! Lindsay makes some killer 1 Point Chocolate Chip cookies. The recipe is posted on the "recipe" section of her site. I just whipped up a batch last night and they are AWESOME!!!! They have everything but the kitchen sink in them...oatmeal, peanut butter, chocolate chips, etc. I HIGHLY recommend them for you sweet lovers out there!
I just had Long John Silver's for dinner and only used .5 flex points today! Random fact: did you know that LJS is one of the lower point options that you can eat for fast food. 3 points for a chicken plank. 3 points for 3 cheese sticks. 1 point per hush puppy. 1 point per shrimp! Anyone want LJS for lunch Sunday before the shower? (ok, ok...I'm going to go copy and paste this to my blog!) Love you!!! ~K
I can't remember how much the Fiber One bars are at Walmart, but I know 3 for $5 is a much better deal. I've paid $2.50 per a box at Target before.
I need to put the frozen green beans on my grocery list too!
Oh yeah....I like the Kroger chocolate fiber bars better than the name brand chocolate ones. I think they taste better :
