When I eat veggies, I FEEL thinner

Try it.  Have veggies for a snack.  I just ate a bell pepper and a cucumber.  I don't know what it is, but I FEEL smaller.  I also ate some string cheese because...well why not?!?! :)  

I love raw (but washed) veggies with nothing on them.  Stoplight peppers (that would be the red, yellow, and green ones :) sit me down with it and I'll finish it.  I'm a little bit more picky when it comes to fruit, but I guess that's a good thing, what with the natural sugars.  I maintain these sugars are necessary, but it's important to ensure one doesn't go overboard with them.  Just because they're 0 points doesn't mean they have....nothing....It's always been that way, even on the old points system.  Most veggies were 0, but you still had to track them because every little bit adds up.  

In an effort to drink more water, I've started carrying around a 32 ounce gargantuan water bottle.  Turns out, I drink more water.  Cue phone call from nature.  Sorry, couldn't resist that one :)

I went to the grocery store Tuesday because I had no food.  And the snack-y food I did have was all 5 points.  SO not worth it.  At the store, I bought Lean Cuisine (checked with my WW barcode app), Bell peppers, cucumbers, green beans, apples, strawberries, WW string cheese, Lean Pockets, and a cool looking stir-fry frozen thing to have for dinner.  BAM.  I conquered Wally World and left with ZERO kit kats.  I'm pretty sure I deserve a medal.  OH, and I got WW ice cream bars, how could I forget.  :)

I was thinking I had something else....OH yea - another test.  

Until next time,
:)
