First Weigh In For The Year

 My first weigh-in for the year and after the holidays, had me at a 1.8 lb loss.  Not bad since I wasn't overly trying too hard to stay on plan.

That said, I know that I need to get some things under control.  So I went on a shopping spree to pick up some much needed "snacks".

Yep, let's talk snacks shall we?  I'm a snacky type person and I can't go without snacking.  Though salt is normally my go to snack; sweets can enter the picture too.

The snack haul this week (besides grapes & bananas) is below:

Above we have small lunch size packs of Snyder's Pretzels at 1 pt a pack,  Emerald 100 Calorie Packs of Almonds & Walnuts at 3 pts a pack; Jack Links Beef Jerky at 2 pts a pack, Quest Birthday Bar at 4 pts a bar and Special K Pastry Crips at 4 pts a pack.

Laughing Cow Spreadable Cheese at 1 pt per wedge; Sargento Reduced Fat Colby-Jack Cheese Sticks at 2 pt per stick; Soup Oyster Crackers 35 for 2 pts  And an alternative for diet soda - Ocean Spray Diet mixed with Diet 7up (yeah I realize there's still soda there).

First the Diet Ocean Spray - Mix it with Diet Sierra Mist, Diet Sprite, Diet 7up or Diet Ginger Ale.  Pour then together in a pitcher.  Trust me - you will love it!  And you can use any flavor of Ocean Spray.

The rest needs no real explanation, mix and match them.  Laughing Cow goes well with crackers & pretzels, cheeses and nuts go well with fruits (or each other); the pastry & Quest bars are fine alone (I am not a Built Bar fan).  

Just some ideas to help with your journey.  What are your favorites?
