“Diet Foods” — and what I think of them.
So, I’m going to start reviewing “diet” foods. A lot of them are all hype. Some of them are outrageously priced, when you can make your own at home for a fraction of the cost. If you want me to try something, let me know what it is and I’ll find it, try it, and tell you if it is worth it. 
Right now, my favorite food is the “lite”, high fiber english muffins. I put some Weight Watchers cream cheese on them and usually put a banana on the plate with them — great breakfast, and the cream cheese isn’t pricey at all.
I still haven’t lost any weight since last week. Depressing, but I have been eating like mad. My oldest daughter turned 8 this week, so we had a birthday/halloween party with TONS of candy, cake, pizza, etc and then we took her out to eat for her birthday by herself at a pizza buffet. Go figure. She said, “It’s okay mom, your points start over next week, right?” Haha. Yes, they do. This morning, I had an egg mcmuffin for breakfast. Egg-2points (could’ve used egg beaters for 1 point but I was lazy), lite english muffin-1point, turkey bacon (YUM!)-1point, fat free cheese-1point. 5 points, and it was so delish!
For lunch, I’ll have some boneless skinless chicken breast strips. Usually I don’t buy these because they are kind of expensive, but my mom works at a food bank and they gave her like 12 bags of them the other day so we are eating chicken A LOT these next few weeks lol. She gave us 3 bags just this morning. I’ll probably add some fat free mayo, some pickles, and mustard, and make chicken salad. I bought some multi-grain club crackers (haven’t tried them yet, don’t know if they’re any good!) and that sounds like a great lunch. What do you think??
Just kind of wondering what everyone else is eating lately. I’m getting in a funk, eating the same things and getting bored.
As far as working out, I’m trying to get an exercise routine going. I have been doing a 10 minute ab workout like 2 times a week (should be doing it like 5 times a week lol oh well), and going to the gym 3-4 times a week. I’m improving, but I still have a LOT I could be doing that I’m not. I guess it’s just important to recognize that I’m fitting into a smaller size, I’m on my way to my goal weight, and I’m eating healthier along the way — while STILL enjoying my chocolate every day. Couldn’t ask for more. Praise God!

Your food sounds really good (despite the birthday party). The chicken salad approach sounds like a good one.
When I diet I tend to eat the same foods over and over too. I do like to pull out cookbooks from time to time for new ideas (well, today it’s more online than real books).
Your exercise routine sounds really good — I think you should celebrate where you are and not worry too much about ’should do more’.
What is your daily chocolate indulgence? I’m a chocolate girl too… life it too short to give it up completely.
