YUM!

Hi my pretties! (: I have to tell you I really, REALLY, really wanted to film this post, but I have zero alone time! Since we're talking food, I figured I'd just get it out there while I have what I want to talk about & maybe actually show you in a later, more elaborated video. For now, let's get started! I've been "dieting" for almost a week now. I don't really like the word "diet" because a lot of people will put that together with starvation or unhealthy, crazy foods, but I'm trying super hard to just eat healthy, watch my calories, & just change my lifestyle in general. So many people will tell you everything good for your body has no taste.. so NOT true! I've had lots of fun trying new things... so much fun in fact, I wanted to share some with you! I first started with the Slimfast diet, but decided to stray a bit from the foods & keep the basic structure of breakfast & lunch being 300 calories or less, snacks around 150 calories & dinner of around 400 -500 calories. Key is to just stay balanced! So what are some of my food options?

• Oscar Mayer Lunchables: Deep Dish Pizza with Pepperoni - 480 calories total. Kit includes 1 deep dish pizza, mini Cheese Nips, 2 chewy cookies, & a small bottle of water with a Kool Aid powder mix in.
• Oscar Mayer Lunchables: Sub Sandwhich in Ham+American with Rice Crispy Treat - 250 calories total.
• Oscar Mayer Lunchables: Snack Duos in Ham & Cheddar + mini Ritz crackers -150 calories total. (comes with 2 snack packs)
• Oscar Mayer Deli Sandwhich Combos in Oven Roasted Turkey & Cheddar with Wheat Thins & Jello Mousse Temptations - 390 calories total. WOW! (:
• Crunch Pak Apple Slices - 70 calories per serving. I found these at Walmart today for $2.88!
• Slimfast meal bar in Chocolate Cookie Dough. These are so good! 200 calories total. These are higher in calories than most granola bars, but they're a MEAL bar intended to suffice hunger longer... they work!
• Cliff Kid organic Z Bar's are yummy too. I love Honey Graham at 130 calories.
• Luna Bar's are a staple item in my diet at 180 calories each. I haven't met a flavor yet that I didn't like!
• Buddy Fruits organic Pure Fruit Bites in Orange. I found these at Walmart today too at $0.88 a pack, 1 pack=1 serving.

Of course fresh fruit & vegetables is always an option. WATER is a must! I try to exercise at least an hour a day, 30 minutes just walking... you know, getting up & moving. A healthy diet not only reflects on the outside, but helps you feel more confident on the inside too. Plus we all know a longer life span is a prize!
