My Belt

I have been wearing the same belt through this entire journey. When I ran out of holes, I used a leather puncher to add 3 more. Each hole is an inch and I have moved over 6 belt holes since August. That means I have lost 6 inches on my waist. I thought it would be fun to just keep adding more, however, the end is getting WAY too long, so I think I may need to just buy a smaller one. (Eeee!)

It's been too long!

The title of the post speaks for itself. Things have been kind of crazy and almost every day I would think, "I need to write another blog post." Well, today is the day!  I have been busy substitute teaching in the area and keeping the studio up and running.

 Easter season has been spent avoiding the Cadbury brand. 5 points for 12 pieces? In previous years, I would go through 3-4 bags of these suckers. It makes me cringe just thinking about what I was putting in my body. (Don't worry, I didn't buy them, I took this while at the store today.) Cadbury creme eggs have 5pp each and even Reese's peanut butter eggs are a lethal 5pp. As delicious as they are, it's just not worth it.

 I want to share a few of my current favorite "Go-To" foods with you.

Just 1pp each! You can also purchase Weight Watchers brand cheese for 1pp, but when these are almost $1 cheaper this is the choice I make.

I just discovered these today! Sour Cream and Onion has been my favorite, but the Cheddar flavor are incredible. Definitely try these if you haven't! Can't go wrong with 3pp for 27 chips.

3pp for a box. It always cures my sweet tooth!

Another trick that I use to cure that nasty sweet tooth of mine. I can't remember the exact points, but for 1 Jolly Rancher, it's 0pp and I never have more than 1 a day or even every few days.

With avoiding the Easter candy aisle and going to the 'good' foods, it has made this a great month. The scale has been going up and down since December, but for the past few weeks it has only been going down. I love being back on track again and being 37lbs lighter than I was last August feels great! I will share a few of my tips and what inspired me again in a later post!
