I don't really eat like an Okie

Because you all know I am a weight watcher, I thought I should do a food post other than fried pies or chocolate and biscuits.   Those foods are yummy and I do eat them, but very rarely.  Most days look similar to this,

• breakfast: oatmeal with lite coconut milk and a sprinkle of coconut, coffee with nonfat half and half, and fresh fruit
• snack: bowl of cereal with lite soy milk
• lunch: bed of lettuce topped with turkey chili, salsa, olives, nonfat cheese, nonfat sour cream and a few tortilla chips crumbled on top
• snack: fiber plus peanut butter bar and fresh fruit or carrots
• dinner: a big pile of roasted veggies sprinkled with feta, small serving of mashed potatoes and a turkey loaf muffin

That would be the ideal.  As long as I have planned ahead it isn't a very hard plan to follow.  I do make poor choices more often than I'd like and then have to trade in dinner for something like a watermelon.  (I am so glad they are in season they save me!)  I do not count points for fresh fruits and veggies.  The exceptions are bananas, potatoes, and corn which I do count.  I drink a lot of water and coffee.  I might have a diet Coke occasionally even though I know they are horrible for me.  Sometimes when I am out or at some ones house a diet soda keeps me from eating things I shouldn't- you know that social feeling having something in your hand.  A couple great foods I am loving snacking on at the moment are Fruit Loops with fiber, reduced fat Cheezits and Kozy Shack lite puddings.

Next week I plan to do an update to my WW post.  I am nervous because I know the scale isn't showing very much loss.  I am putting my hope in the measurements reflecting change.  Mav and I have been running and just finished week 8 of couch to 5K.  It is s great program!  Here you can see how dedicated I am because I ran in the pouring down rain.
