Gotta pay up… NSV!

I ended up snacking before bed last night…. so I’ve got to balance out my flex points. In my mind as I was falling asleep, I was trying to convince myself to just use the AP’s that I’d earned at Boot Camp, but I said I wasn’t going to use them & I didn’t do horribly with my snacking so I’m just going to pony up & subtract from th flex because that’s what I said I’d do!! (How’s that for a run on sentence??) LOL :o D

Also… I was trying to decide what I wanted to eat, (we’d just finished grocery shopping btw…) and I’m looking at all these snacks I’d bought for the kids… I was really tempted to just eat something “good” (ie.. bad!) and I caved… I got out one of those Little Debbie snacks that I’d bought as a special treat for my kids- 2 chocolate cookies filled with white creme… They looked so good, but I took a bite.. hmmm not as good as I thought they’d be… took a second bite.. still, not what I was looking for- especially for 4.5 points! Normally I would have just eaten it anyway- after all, I wouldn’t want to WASTE FOOD!! And then- after I’d eaten it anyway, I’d still eat and eat until I’d found what “satisfied” me! BUT I THREW IT AWAY!!! Only 2 small bites & I said “NO WAY! YOU TASTE GROSS- I DON’T WANT TO EAT YOU!” (no, I didn’t really talk to the cookies… but it’s a kind of funny mental picture! LOL) I also tried two bites of one of the South Beach Chocolate Peanut Butter granola bars. It was ok, a little dry & the chocolate chips were extra mini & only on the top, not mixed in so you could barely taste the chocolate. I think I’ll be sticking with the Fiber One bars, even though the SB were 1.5 pts instead of 2. So, the granola bar wasn’t cutting the craving & I didn’t finish that either! Instead, I remembered that I had these awesome fruit bars in my freezer- they’re only 1.5 points & taste GREAT!! They taste like real frozen fruit (b/c they are..) instead of frozen red sugar water!! Very yummy & held off cravings the rest of the night!! So, I’ll subtract 2 points from my FP’s for my tastes & final pick.

You may already know about these, but if not, here’s some info off of Edy’s site about their fruit bars. Try them- they’re AWESOME!! :o D

If you like fruit, you’ll love Fruit Bars. The combination of real fruits and juices makes the taste unbeatable! Chunks of juicy strawberries, luscious lemons or zesty limes are packed into each and every bar. Each bar has less than 100 calories and is naturally fat free. So go ahead—indulge!
