A Couple Food Ideas, and My Lazy A**

Hey buddies, things are good today. I’ve written and submitted one article so far. I’ve had coffee with a friend, and hung out with my kids. I’m getting ready to start dinner, and feeling generally good.

Oh, I found a way to reduce points lol…a new way. Normally, for lunch, I have something like a sandwich on whole wheat bread (the heart-healthy kind with added fiber). I usually put turkey or chicken on it, and sometimes sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Veggies, meat, bread. I don’t do cheese or mayo because I feel like it’s not worth the points lol.

So one of these sandwiches costs me three points, and it’s worth it because it’s filling and yummy. However, I picked up some whole wheat pita pockets last time I was at the grocery store, and since they have four grams of fiber, 1/2 of a pita costs me only one point. The lunch meat I use costs me one point, and the veggies are free. So…I’ve found a way to have a relatively satisfying lunch or snack for only two points. Woot. LOL.

Also, I’ve found that the WW Giant Latte Icecream Bars (one point!!) are absolutely YUMMY!!! Of course I’m a coffee freak, sooo that could explain. But it doesn’t have fake sugar (which I hate) and it really tastes very much like the Starbucks coffee icecream. It rocks. LOL.

Other than that, my exercise is still a thorn in my side. I’m not officially working out even now, even though I’m moving a lot more than usual. I need to find a way to work it in folks. I know it will help me to get the weight off faster and will help me to keep it off with less trouble, and I also know that it will make me more physically healthy over all. Plus, I’m sure it won’t hurt my shape a bit. LOL. So, I know all these things.

Why then, do I find myself NOT exercising?? Ack. Ok buddies, does anyone know of a workout or specific exercise that focuses the midsection? Since I’ve had my daughter, I’m thicker there than before, and I don’t like it. I don’t have any rolls or anything (thank goodness) but I am thick. My saving grace used to be my small waist, and if you view me head on, I’ve still got that curve, but from the side…not so much. LOL. Sooo any advice would be genuinely appreciated.

Hope you’re all having a fabulously healthy day!! xoxo

    mmmm…the WW Giant Latte Icecream Bars sound yummmy!!!! I will check them out!
    You still need more a– kicking…about the exercise.
    I have heard you cannot do spot area losing…you just have to turn the fat into muscle and lose the extra weight!
    I’ll send you a booster that might help: )

    pilates (and yoga?) are usually very core-centered, and even supposedly help reduce stress. good luck with a workout plan. i love ‘point’ pointers btw :)
