These are my newest favourite snack.  First of all, the calorie count is good at 10 calories each.  The recommended serving size is 7, which is perfect for a light snack.  They are perfect with hummus, or laughing cow cheese or regular cheese for that matter.  This weekend I ate them with the bruchetta mix I made.  So so perfect.. I didn’t even want the french bread I served it with at the party.

I don’t know how many calories the bruchetta mix had, but seriously if you read the ingredients, you’ll see it can’t be very much.  Two vine ripe tomatoes, red onion, fresh basil, a splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, half a tsp of diced garlic and half a tsp of Parmesan cheese.

My mouth is watering.. I love this stuff so much!

In other news, the weather has been absolutely awful here.  Yesterday I thought I would get the kids out for a walk.. just as we left the door it started raining.  I suppose I should be thankful it happened while we were in the driveway, and not 10 mins away from home.  But, it really bummed me out.. and it’s raining again today.  Tomorrow will be better I hope.. and Friday it goes back to 20C (72F).. I can’t wait.

Luckily, last night I had my Aquafit class so I didn’t lose out on the exercise.  That class is great… I wish it was three times a week.  I really feel it the next day.  The instructor did lots of exercises that targeted the obliques and abs yesterday.. I totally feel it today.. that after burn your muscles feel is such a great feeling.. like a good pain.  I always see results after those classes too.

Rereading my post, you would think I am in a great mood, but actually I have been in such a pissy mood the last couple of days.. I have no idea why. I’ve been super grumpy lately.. I thought the exercise would help, but it didn’t. I thought seeing the scale move down would help, but not really.. I need to get out of this funk.

UPDATE: Me thinks the grumpies are a direct symtom to my time of the month.. hmmm….
