Hiatus Day

I am now taking a hiatus from my blog for the summer. I have been blogging daily for about 5 months and have hopefully given you some good ideas, advice and inspiration. I plan to keep doing the Weight Watchers lifestyle with of course room for summer treats here and there. I will be back in September when school starts again, hopefully thinner, leaner and meaner!!!

If you are reading this for the first time, don't fret, you have 5 months worth of blog entries to get through, if you have been following me along, I hope to see you when I return and wish you a happy summer!

Chocolate Pudding Day

Tomorrow, June 26, is National Chocolate Pudding Day. I like the Jello Sugar Free Pudding and also the Hunts Fat Free singles.

Apples for breakfast

I have been eating an apple for breakfast recently and guess what? It fills me up until lunch. I find breakfast hard to keep fresh and creative. I love eating breakfast but don't eat breakfast cereal. I do try to vary my breakfasts, but on the mornings I eat an apple, I feel really satisfied. (I also east something else with it like a yogurt or a Vita muffin...)

Blueberry Addiction

I am totally loving blueberries now. I know they are packed with antioxidents. 1 cup are 1 point. Pick some up, you'll be glad you did! We have a pick-our-own farm really close to here, and starting July 4th or thereabout, they are READY!!

WW Magazine

I was able to score a free years subscription to WW magazine from the back of a Jiffy Pop popcorn box - and it actually came. I really like the variety of articles and recipes. Especially with all of the points already calculated. Some great summer reading!

100 MILES

I have walked over 100 miles on my treadmill. I like keeping track...it's a motivator for me! This doesn't include the outside walking I occasionally do.

How many points in a S'more?

I calculated how many points in a traditional s'more, so I'll pass it along.

A traditional Hersheys bar is 5 points for the whole bar, so depending on how much chocolate you like on the s'more, you can calculate. I like less chocolate, so probably 1/4 to 1/8 of a bar is good for me.

A marshmallow has 1/2 a point per marshmallow

A traditional graham cracker has 1.5 points per full cracker. I also calculated with the low fat grahams which there is no difference in points.

So if S'mores are in your picnic menu, now you are equipped with the information!
