Happy Tuesday!

Are you feeling hungry in the evening and need a crunchy snack?

First!! Make sure you are truly hungry and you aren’t just wanting to snack because you're bored or because snacking has become a habit as soon as you get to relax for the evening.

Now, if you are TRULY HUNGRY and need a little snack, here are some suggestions…

- Rice cakes with toppings of your choice (cottage cheese, PB, Greek yogurt, hummus, etc)
- Greek yogurt with a handful of low/no sugar cereal (Chex, plain cheerios)
- Celery w/ Peanut butter
- Carrots/celery/cucumbers/peppers w/ hummus
- Apple w/ Peanut Butter

What is your favorite healthy snack?

Happy Monday!

We are headed into the first weekend of this DietBet and weekends often mean we are out of routine and there are foods around that we may not have prepared for.

Don't fall into the “I’ll start again Monday” mindset when it comes to your health journey.

How many times have you been dieting, gone over your calories or eaten something you thought you were "not supposed to eat" and then said "Well, I've already messed it up, may as well keep going, I'll start again Monday" and then continued to eat more than planned?

IF you go over your calories or eat something you were not planning on eating give yourself grace and continue on your plan the rest of the day.

How does this work?

Say you eat 2 oreos that you didn't plan for, don't continue to eat the whole sleeve.
You ate those two oreos, now what?

1. Know you are human and don't beat yourself up.
2. Put the rest away.
3. Get back on track TODAY, not Monday.

It may not be a mindset you are used to, but YOU are in control, you got this!

I was off work for 2 weeks, home with kiddos and family in town… I said yes to everything!!!! (And not in moderation) By the end, my body was sick and actually craving healthy food!!! I’m back at it, missed my Monday workout, but I’m back on track and feeling good!!! I would love some new, Super Easy, packable lunch ideas!!!! Currently, I eat hard boiled egg and cottage cheese (mixed like egg salad) and 2 rice cakes, cheese stick, apple if I need crunchy and a protein bar! And I drink all day an iced protein coffee!! What else can I eat??? Help!!!!

About to workout have yogurt and go to bed. I think I’ve got this!!! When you’re so close to goal it’s so hard!!! Throw Thanksgiving in there, but I feel like I got this!!! Weigh in early in the morning!!! ????

What time on 12/7 can we weigh in?! What’s the earliest? Latest?

6 days left and I'm below where I need to be. Woot woot! I was a bit worried because the scale hasn't budged for a week except to shift up a bit but that's the once a month normal for me.

I'm now down 45lbs in all!!

I didn't think much of that number until I realized as I was filling up the pellet stove that a bag of pellets is 40lbs - and those things are heavy...plus another 5lbs! I've still got a ways to go before I'm back at goal weight but everything fits better, feels better and my reward to myself is a night away with my husband when he gets home from out of province work. My mom is taking the kids so we get a day to go Christmas stocking shopping and a night away!

Plus, I'll have some dietbet winnings to spend on some new leggings!
