**Have you guys tried this stuff yet?!! It is SO good. Not necessarily the healthiest of popcorn, but they come in the mini-bags so at least you are getting 1 serving when you pop a bag instead of however many are in a normal bag of popcorn. I’ve tried the aforementioned flavor as well as the Buttery Garlic and they are both very good. There is a lower fat version of butter, but that’s boring LOL!! :)

Total Points used for the day: 24 out of 26

Not bad. I really should use up the other 2 points b/c that is how the plan works, but on the OLD plan you had a range of points so really I am still okay. I also went to the gym and gained some activity points but I never count those.

I do have to say I have been hungry and I thought about food ALL DAY. Calculating how long until my next meal, how many points I had eaten and how many I could eat. I really hate being tied to points and the point of thinking about it all the time. I feel like it just rules my life at that point, but I have to change something. The core program worked for awhile (and was good for the types of food I eat) but I am horrible at judging portion and I think I tend to over eat when I am on that plan. I have to get back to portion control at this point! I’ll bear with it for awhile.
