Well, week 1 seems to be going great! I’ve been counting my points, drinking my water, exercising and I feel GREAT!  Since I am on vacation this week, it is a lot easier…so I may try to do some planning ahead this weekend so that I am prepared when I go back to work next week.  Usually where I slip up is the snacking area. So yesterday I decided to do a little “thinking ahead”. 

 When I want to snack, I usually lean towards something crunchy and salty. So to combat that this week I have decided to make one of my favorite snacks and will share that with you! It’s point friendly and Good For You!! I  make a Black Bean Salsa that goes great with my own homemade tortilla chips.  I posted the recipes here for you Black Bean Salsa & Chips.

So..I went to bed at 11:30 p.m. last night and woke up at 4:30 and couldn’t get back to sleep. So at 5:30 I got out of bed and headed to the gym!  On a Freakin Vacation Day! Am I crazy??  Either that or I must be really serious about losing this weight?  Then at 8:30 ran my son to the orthodontist for an emergency “fix”…then home to start laundry. Then I prepared a Pizza Hotdish for dinner tonight ..(it’s not point friendly so I’ll be making something else for me!….I know…. baaaaddd habit to get into! I should be cooking point friendly for them too!).
