I procrastinate….therefore I blog

Yep, It is I the Queen of procrastination!

It is time to pack for vacation and clean the house so here I sit blogging.

Here are a few updates.

I have lost 10 lbs since the 2nd week of June.

I was hoping for more as we begin a lake vacation tomorrow.

But hey I will take what I can get!

We have been super busy doing peaches, corn and applesauce.

My garden is a disgrace this year, so no pictures will be posted :)

Many people ask me all the time what I eat so here is a little sampling…

I love frozen treats….

These are Weight Watchers Strawberry Smoothie bars and Giant Chocolate Fudge bars. 1 pt each.

You get 12 strawberry bars in a box, they aren’t as big as the chocolate bars( only 6 bars in the box) but they take about as long to eat and they are delicious with real chunks of strawberries. Since they cost the same you get twice as much for your money.

But then again sometimes you just need a chocolate fix. So the chocolate bars are worth every penny.

These popsicles are definitely a cheaper way to enjoy a cool summer treat

Since they are sugar free they only have 15 calories a piece so you can have 4 popsicles for 1 point. You can also get them in regular flavors.

I love to eat pasta. Sadly lots of carbs are not the best idea for weight loss. So when I eat spaghetti I make Zuchinni and Onions and only use half the pasta I used to by layering in the zuchinni and onions over the pasta but under the sauce. It is so delicious sometimes I forget the pasta entirely. I have also used spaghetti squash instead of pasta… it is delicious!

Here is a pic of the Zuchinni and Onions ready to cook…

I have also went Berry crazy this month…Blueberries, Blackberries, strawberries, and rasberries. They are loaded with great taste and nutrition. They are low in points, delicious in yogurt and filling!! Also very healthy and a great natural source of fiber.
