Just a little WW hint...

I have a couple of little surprises that you might find interesting! On my quest of counting points I discovered a couple of items that are surprising low in points and wanted to share them with you!

The first one is Fritos:

Most chips of any kind are very high in points and I unfortunately usually have to avoid them. It may come as a shock to you, as it did to me, but Fritos are actually very low in points! If you look on the back of a regular sized bag you will see that the serving size is one ounce or 32 chips, and if you calculate the points for this serving it comes out to be only 4 points! I have seen bags of chips that are this amount for like 10! This is a great snack for a salty craving and add a little bit of hot sauce or salsa to make it even better for no added points!

The next one is:
Having a fast food craving? Especially for FRIED goodies? Well you will be surprised to know that some items at Long John Silvers are actually not that bad! I have not had this for a long time because I assumed that it was horrible since it was fried. Well I was wrong! I am not talking about their healthy menu which includes things like grilled salmon, rice, and veggies. Those items of course are healthy, but I am talking about something a little more shocking on their regular menu and that is the Chicken Plank! This fried succulent goodness is only 3 points! If you want two, that is only 6 points! Not too shabby! :)

I hope you find this info useful, I know I sure have! :)

UhOh!

As you probably have noticed I have been MIA for a while and I deeply apologize! I have been going through some stuff lately. I ended up going to the hospital and finding out that I was constantly dehydrated and also suffer from anxiety. Since then I have not been worrying about my diet as much seeing as I had a lot of new stuff to worry about and I didn't want to be over stressed. Well, I have been continually hydrating myself now and have gotten some medication for the anxiety so hopefully I will be doing better soon! During all of this I had not exercised or really watched what I ate and luckily I maintained my weight! Now it is time to start over!

I know I keep saying that I will have new recipes soon and I will, I promise!

Just to prove it to you, here is what I will be posting for my last 3 Sweet Feats in this recipe series:

Pumpkin Bread
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Root Beer Float

Thank you all for sticking with me and being patient!

Love Always,
