Losing It Week 8
Is it really week 8 already? I’m seriously going to miss these weekly recaps! I’ll continue to post updates on my weight loss journey for my readers but I’ll seriously miss all you lovely #LosingIt10 ladies.
Well, I was able to lose that “Easter pound” I gained. But that was it! I lost no more. I’m back to where I was two weeks ago. I was a tad disappointed since I’ve exercised on my elliptical 4 days this week already! That’s two more that I usually average by my Friday weigh-in each week. But I’m not losing heart and I’m not giving up. I am nearing ” that” time of the month so that could have something to do with my body holding on to some poundage.
I wanted to share two snacks that I’ve found curb my cravings for junk food and desserts.
One is Chocolate Cheerios. They are sooo good! There’s 100 calories for 3/4 of a cup. Not including the calories in whatever milk you choose to put in. But it’s been a great snack for me when I’m craving something sweet while catching up on season 4 of ” Lost” in the evenings with hubby. I feel better about that than grabbing a brownie or Oreos.
The second one is two chocolate graham cracker squares with peanut butter. Even my husband has gotten into that snack! 2 whole crackers are a serving (meaning 4 squares) . That’s 130 calories. But since I only have 2 squares it’s 65 calories. Then I add 1 tablespoon of all natural peanut butter to each square ( at 180 calories per 2 tablespoons) and that is a 245 calories. I know it’s not a 100 calorie snack or anything but it’s definitely satisfying and I feel like these snacks are a tad healthier that cookies or chips!
So, how did you guys do this week?
