FOOD!!!

What to make for dinner tonight? Mediterranean or Asian?

Snack Attack!!

So, I try to eat a lot of fruit and veggies. I also try to incorporate these suckers in my snacks. Todays snack of the day: Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese cubes and Grapes. All I can say is YUM! If you've never tried the fruit and cheese combo, then you're missing out. This snack had a points value of 3. I a took Sargento reduced fat cheddar stick, cubed this, and paired it up with a half cup of grapes. A perfect carb protein combo!!!

Lets Drink!

So, the biggest issue I have is keeping up with my water intake. They say you should have 8-10 glasses of water a day. I don't know about you, but I have such a hard time downing plain water. Now, I'm not saying I need a diet coke instead of water. I just need a little flavor. Here's how I get by on drinking my water: 1. A bit of sugar free kool aid, just for flavor, added to my water 2. A splash of fresh lemon juice 3. Seltzer water, I love this so much that Im thinking about buying my own seltzer maker (anyone got any suggestions) 4. I brew up flavored tea, and cool this in the refrigerator for on the go ice tea

Breakfast

Today for breakfast I decided to have lunch. Jennie O Turkey ham ( 2 WW points), Arnold's bread (1 WW point), 1 slice of 2% sharp cheddar cheese (1 WW point). Total of 4 points...in case you guys havent guessed it, WW has helped me lose a lot of weight!
