Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis.
So it’s Monday. That means today is the day that I start eating better and make an attempt to work out more again. Last week I posted about how well I had been doing for a few months and how I lost about 15 pounds. But then I stopped working out for various reasons and had started gaining the weight back, ugh!
Well, it’s starting to get warmer around these parts which means people are wearing less clothing and I can no longer hide my body under bulky, warm clothing. The short sleeves, capris, sandals and eventually (eek!) bathing suits will be making their way out of hiding and back on to my body so I’m hoping to have a better looking body to put them on. I went the entire summer last year without putting on a bathing suit. (Cut me some slack, I had just given birth in May.) But I’m hoping to be able to wear one with (some) confidence this year.
This is NOT going to be an easy task as we’re moving in nine days and still have just about our entire house to pack. But I’m going to stop making excuses. Even if I don’t get the work outs in as often as I’d like, I can make a good start by eating better. Bye bye pizza, ice cream and cookies! A minute on my lips is not worth the months and months you’ll spend on my hips (and every other body area)!
I’d love to hear about any good, healthy snacks that you love that are quick and easy and can be eaten on the go. My biggest problem is being away from the house and becoming starving and grabbing a not so healthy snack. I’d like to stock my pantry with things that I can throw in the diaper bag and grab while out that will satisfy me.

Nuts or a cheese stick. I don’t think cheese sticks go bad or I at least eat them after they’re out of the fridge a while and if you pack the proper serving of nuts you should be good! I’m scared for bathing suits too…

I”m in the same boat. Things that I’ve done before that sometimes I like and sometimes I can’t stand: hard boiled eggs, veggie straws from costco -these keep me from driving through to grab french fries, small oranges good luck!

Fiber One 90 Calorie Bars – They are only one WW point and they actually keep me kind of full compared to other pre packaged snacks.

Homemade granola bars are my new favorite… not that hard to make. I cut the sugar though quite a bit. Since there is already sugar in the crasins and coconut. Let me know if you want the recipe I’ve been using…

I’d love the recipe! I’ve been eating some good ol’ Quaker Granola bars for a while. Would love to change it up a bit.
