I tend to eat the same things over and over and get sick of them. It’s not as bad as it used to be, but I still tend to do that. However, when I find something that I like and that has fewer fats, more fiber, and is tasty, I can’t help but rely on that. I find different things that keep me on track for a month or so, then switch to new products or older things that I relied on before. It’s a cycle that I repeat and one that helps me keep losing weight. I like to try new things, but I also like to have ‘old stand-bys” that I know will fill me up and keep me going.
Lately I have been back on the All Bran crackers. You can have 18 of those for a small amount of calories, and coupled with a laughing cow cheese, it makes an EXCELLENT snack to grab and take to work for the afternoon. I ate these about a year ago until I couldn’t physically stand the sight of them, but I bought some yesterday and I’m interested in them again. The bran makes them super filling, the salt really comes through and takes away that craving. Delicious. Speaking of Laughing Cow cheese triangles, the new Lite French Onion flavor is excellent.
When I began getting serious about my weight loss about a year ago, I also ate a lot of yogurt but moved beyond that at some point, probably because I got sick of it. I didn’t try many flavors because the ones I did try weren’t very tasty, but I gave the new Yoplait Light flavors a go about two weeks ago and I’m on them again. Instead of traditional breakfast flavors, though, I’ve been concentrating on the dessert ones. Red Velvet Cake, Cinnamon Buns, Cherry Cobbler, etc. I eat yogurt for breakfast sometimes but these flavors have been more of a staple for me after dinner when I need something sweet.
Today’s newest find is what inspired my blog this morning. I am a sucker for apple juice but only drink it when I’m SEVERELY sick now because it’s ridiculously high in calories…but I took a chance and bought a Crystal Lite type powder packet that is sugar free and 5 calories per serving…and it’s delicious! Takes just like apple juice. Definitely a treat.
I am sure I will be finished with these things soon and onto something else….more updates then
