Well... So much for walking in Vegas. As of this morning I was up 3 lbs. But I'm really not all that discouraged. It did take me a few days to get back into my routine even since I got home. But I've been doing really well the last couple days. I know it'll work if I stick with it!
There's left over Easter candy laying around all over the place at work. I will shamefully admit I ate three Hershey's kisses yesterday. Three kisses never killed anyone, right? Actually, it's rather amazing I stopped at three.
I just wanted to share some ways I've found to substitute things. I go to Starbucks every Sunday with my Dad. Normally I get a Grande Java Chip Frappuccino with no whipped cream (Hey, I was doing one thing right at least.) That drink has 340 calories and 8 grams of fat! So I started getting a Grande Skinny Iced Mocha for 80 calories and no fat. They're pretty tasty! It think you can get just about anything made "skinny" at Starubucks which just means they use non-fat milk and no whipped cream. You don't even miss it. (Besides, it's kinda fun to order.. Like you're in the know with the Starbucks lingo!)
There are also some cool new 100 calorie brownies from Little Debbie. They really satisfy the chocolate craving. I also have 100 calorie Nutter Butter Chewy Granola Bars that are pretty good. If anyone else knows of some low calorie snacks, let me know! Snacking is definitely my weakness!
Well, I guess that's about all for now. Here's to a better weigh in next Friday. :)

Yeah, the fat free popcorn is good in that it fills you up. It doesn't taste as good as the regular one. The kettle corn one is a little better though.
I had to read the latest and try for some encouragement. I too have been traveling and gained back my hard fought for two pounds. I think when you're over (let's say) 45......dieting alone does not seem to work for me. It's all about watching what you eat AND walking your feet off. I watched the old 1950's Fathers Little Dividend with Elizabeth Taylor and when she went to the doctor because she was expecting.....she was told to exercise and walk......get this......6 miles per day. 2 after breakfast and 2 after lunch and 2 after dinner. If a pregnant Liz Taylor could do this I guess I can. It's not so much the miles, these days, as the time. We are programmed to NOT HAVE TIME to walk, exercise or even think sometimes. So, that is my challenge...pencil myself in for 3 two mile walks. When you come to visit me......promise you will walk with me!!! And, don't say it's too hot in Florida to walk.
How's this week going for you. How did today go?
