I am a foodie

I love food. I'm sure that's obvious with my battle with my weight. LOL  So I decided that I was going to really try and start eating healthier.  I have had a loss every week for the last 9 weeks, but I've decided that I need to really eat healthier.  Sooo... I went shopping today!

The first new find are the Kangaroo brand Flatbreads.  Oh my! They are so yummy.  Only 4 points plus each so I've had two today. LOL I fixed a yummy pizza on one for lunch.  It was amazing and only 6 points plus.  I LOVE pizza and could probably eat it every meal.  I however don't know when to stop eating and most SLICES start out at about 5 points plus, depending on the type and crust,etc...  So to be able to have a nice sized pizza for 6 ppts. is great!

My second new find is greek yogurt! I have researched greek yogurt to the point that I know pretty much all there is to know about greek yogurt.  LOL Except for the taste.  So I went out on a limb and bought a single serving Chobani green yogurt in the apple cinnamon flavor.  Oh wow! Sooo good.  I can't wait to have it for breakfast tomorrow AND it's only 3 ppts. for the 6 oz

I think I've told everyone I see about the new Kraft MilkBite granola bars.  They are kept in the refrigerated dairy products (by the milk at Wal-Mart). They are sooo yummy and only 4 ppts. per bar.  I've only tried the chocolate, but there are several different flavors. I bought strawberry, but haven't tried them yet.  They are also 4 ppts.  :)

I never knew how fun and yummy eating healthy could be.  My past experiences have been health = something that has no flavor and probably no real nutritional value.  After doing lots of research I am so glad that there so many new products out to try.  Some have been bad.  I bought the Flatout brand flat breads (look more like a tortilla) and that was a bad choice. LOL I am really enjoying this healthier eating and I feel so much better.  I know that with weight watchers I can have ANYTHING in moderation (serving sizes), but I feel so great today after eating healthier food choices instead of greasy, sugary, fattening choices.  I love that I can usually have a bigger serving if it's something healthy vs. having a small serving of the bad food choices.

On my way to Twoterville

That's what we call the 200's on my weight watchers message board. LOL  After my weigh in today I am very close.  I weighed in today at 301.6.  I've lost a total of 21.6 lbs in 9 weeks.  It feels sooo good too!  So hopefully next Friday I will arrive in Twoterville.  :)


I have one more big project for school and then 3 weeks and finals and I am out for the summer.  I can't wait.  School is good, but so draining too.

My newest addiction this week are the Kraft MilkBite granola bars.  They are in the dairy section because they have milk in them so they must be refrigerated! Soooo good.  I am totally addicted.  Only 4 points for the chocolate one too.  I haven't had any of the other flavors that they have yet, but bought some strawberry ones to try.

I went and bought some seeds and seedlings to grow my own veggies. I've never had luck before, but this time I plan on keeping the poor things alive.  There is nothing better then fresh veggies and the farmers market is so expensive.  Hopefully I have will have some great pics in the next weeks of my awesome fruit and veggie garden.  :)
