Yahoo!

Wow! I just realized that I have less than 100lbs to loose until I hit my goal weight! That is incredible. I started out with 127lbs to loose and now I am down to 94lbs! It's so amazing when you think about it. I wanted to use a post to tell you about a couple of food products that I just love!!!


This is Edamame. Basically what they are, are soybeans. They are super crunchy and a little bit salty. I find them so yummy! You can purchase a big container from Costco. Here is the nutrition......1/4 cup has 130 calories, 14 grams of protein, and 8 grams of fiber! I think they are just the best snack, they are almost a meal with all that protein.








These are Zone Bars. I usually have one for breakfast.

I am not a huge breakfast eater so these do the trick for me.
These are also my two favorite ones. The nutrition is pretty much the same for each...... 1 bar is 210 calories, 14-15 grams of protein, and 3 grams of fiber.

What I really love about these is that they are soy protein. Both of these products keep me full for a long time and they also taste really good! Lots of times we have to sacrifice flavor and I don't think I have to do that with these 2 things. You should give them a try if you have not already.

Let me know if there is something out there you think I should try!

Mariah

What a yucky rainy day it is here in Massachusetts! Actually the whole week has been sort of gross, really cold! However I was just looking at the 10 day forecast and the temp is going to shoot back up into the mid 50's to low 60's, so thank you to all you warm climate folks for sending some my way! lol

Well as far as Mariah goes....wait...I don't know that I've ever told you this, I named my band Mariah haha. I don't refere to it as that very often but in case I do and you are like "What is this crazy woman talking about?" that is what I mean, my band! I lost another 1lb so 5lbs in 2 weeks I think is pretty good that is 2.5lbs per week and I am happy with that. My 5th fill is this coming Friday the 23rd, I really want to loose at least 3 more lbs before then. My week isn't really very crazy so I should be able to accomplish that. I really need to focus more on weekly goals I have come to feel. Even with the turkey day challenge it's just such a HUGE number I want to loose by then and if I focus on that I don't tend to do as well because I feel it is impossible. Where if I focus on 2-3lbs just Friday - Friday (because that is my weigh in day) then I seem to do much better. Anyone else find this happening to them???
