Snack Attack

Happy early birthday to my Dad! I love you and I can't wait to celebrate this weekend!

Also, Happy early Independence Day, Y'all!  A lot of changes have been happening in America lately.  Some of you may think these changes are positive and some may find them negative but hopefully, on the fourth, we can all get along, wear our red, white and blue and celebrate the holiday!

I weighed for the first time since April this past Saturday.  It wasn't great but it also wasn't as bad as I thought.  I am going to start weighing in weekly again.  My depression regarding this whole weight gain thing hasn't really gone anywhere but like every Monday, I've started the week in hopes of being good and today, I have been.  I will have some recipes to share next week but I was lazy today and only have a couple snacks to share.  The first snack is Veggie Straws.  I love these things! They are made with vegetables and taste like potato chips.  The best part about them is that you can eat about 40 of them for around 140 calories.  They go great with burgers and sandwiches. I  also dipped them in some ranch dip this weekend.  They are my new favorite, go to munchie.

The other snack I wanted to share would be from Snyder's.  They are Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Poppers.  These little guys are great because they are essentially a hollowed out pretzel so you can have way more for less calories.  They have a nice salty/sweet combination.  I highly recommend getting them.  Both the veggie straws and the pretzel poppers come in other flavors but I am partial to these.

Once again, I'll admit I was totally lazy today so that's all I have.  Here's hoping I can avoid my typical holiday binge.  Have a great week everyone.
