A Case of the Munchies

So...the past few days all I want to do is eat! I know that this can be a big set back if I am not careful. Pinterest does not help with all its pictures of tasty sweet treats. I even have a pin board titled "Fat-Kid Festival" This is where I pin all the things I know I can't eat, but its fun to fantasize. Its like my food porn.

But luckily while stopping by the grocery store to get me some chocolate, my ever so wonderful mate, found me a great substitute....cocoa roasted almonds! Let me tell you, THEY ARE WONDERFUL!! A 1/4 cup serving is only 140 calories...and that is a lot of almonds! The chocolaty-ness of them is just enough to get my by and not make me hate my self in the morning. I read some where (pinterest) that one should eat nuts every day, so why not make them cocoa roasted nut? Now, I am not going to lie....my life partner did buy me some chocolate bars. Not to worry though, he did hide them from me and only gives me small pieces at a time.

Another new food obsession of my is kettle corn, just enough sweet and salty and crunchy to get me through any craving. I get the great little mini bags. 100 calories a bag and I can eat the whole thing by my self! Wonderful! However, my pop corn popping skills leave something to be desired...I always burn it! No matter what I do! But this stuff is awesome, pair it up with a pear and you got a pretty yummy lunch burnt smell or no its tasty.


Also, I have been to the gym every day since January 15. Ok, you caught me, I did miss one day. I was working...and didn't get home until 11pm. So is the life of a debate coach. But I am pretty proud of my self. I almost didn't go some times, but when I do I always feel better.

So, get to the gym...go on...GO! Mine is 24 hours....
