Same last week... UGG!
I am definitely starting to see & feel my body tightening up and slimming down.
Time to focus on water intake and cutting out fats late in the day (no more pb after dinner)

Zero Points


On the old WeightWatchers point system (not the new points plus) I found a lot of ZERO POINT FOODS!! OMG and I love them... points are determined by balancing calories, fat and fiber.
50 calories = 1 point
12 grams of fat = 1 point
5 grams of fiber = -1 point

So... of course all the green vegitables are zero... superfoods like blackberries and blueberries are zero... natural apple sauce etc...

Since WW didn't count half points, you do have to be careful with some zero point finds because when you eat enough of them, they do become points.

So... a few fabulous ZERO (or almost) POINT FOODS to check out!!

- MISSION carb balance tortillas
- FlatOut flat bread
- FiberOne Yogurt
- FiberOne Cereals
- FiberOne Cereal/granola bars
- Quaker high fiber Oatmeal
- Progresso Light soups
-
I'll add more to this list soon, but for now I need to get to bed!!

Crazy day of catch-up-with-life... had my follow up interview and GOT THE NEW JOB! Eeep! So pumped. Life is so good lately. Dating, weather, snowboarding, great friends, new job... YEAH!!!!

Ok, so today.
I went for my body wrap, but I think I was stressing pretty hard about if I was going to get this new job or not... I got SO many hot spots. They were adding layers of washclothes all over me but my body just wasn't having it. So, after 30 minutes (they are usually 50) I had them just end my session. I still feel very good, I sweat out a lot and will go back at it next week.

4oz salza
2 Tbs real ranch dressing w/4 Tbs vinegar, loads of fiber powder and cilantro
2oz grated cheese (I normally don't add this but I was celebrating)
1oz pine nuts

2 flatbread tortillas w/PB
