Crisps-It's A Revolution!


Well I was at work and jonesing for some chips I really wanted some cheddar sun chips but at 7 points for the 99 cent bag it wasn't worth it. Food is Fuel is my mantra! Well I went to the snack shop and figured I'd get some pretzels low cal, low fact, salt ehhhh but it would do. I saw a small package near the donuts (don't ask why I floated over there) and I saw this little bag called Crisps
it was low in calories 45 to be exact and 0 fat and they didn't use any oil, so none of that Olestra fat fat stuff either. I bought the onion and garlic hoping for a sour cream and onion-y taste. Welll I didn't get it. lol. It wasn't bad per se but it didn't taste the way I thought it would. I added some mustard and that made it better. It did however have a GREAT crunch and nice hint of sea salt. I will try the plain flavor tomorrow and report back. Its 1 point and it does hit the spot in terms of wanted an afternoon salt snack. So all in all not bad! I bought it for 85 cents but I can get them on line for cheaper plus S &H is free so not bad!

Chobani Greek Yogurt


This more than a product review! It is a product rave review! Chobani Greek Yogurt is the best tasting all natural non fat greek yogurt I have tried! I have reallly tried to like greek yogurt the Trader Joe brand aint bad but I was really impressed with the texture, flavor, and all around goodness of this brand! It's 3 points for my fellow WWer folks but it is well worth it. I had it yesterday on my way to Spin class and I did add a little Splenda but it was good and filling! Giant has it on sale this week 4 for $5.00!

Fleet Feet

So I made a run (phun intended) to my local Fleet Feet Store yesterday. I was on a mission to get some inserts for my Brooks running shoes because I had a bit of pain last Saturday at Monte's Boot Camp. I love the gang at Fleet Feet in Pikesville b/c they are so helpful! And it doesn't hurt that I went to law school with Jeremy! Well I left with these insoles called Super Feet. I tried on the Berry and then I tried on the Green. The Berry felt better and according to the website they are:


"Specifically engineered to address the unique qualities of women's feet and footwear, BERRY's new enhanced features are designed to improve shoe fit, comfort and shock absorption for women who run, walk or stand for extended periods of time."
I was going to Body Pump last night so I was warned not to wear them right away so I am going to put them in today at work and see how they feel and maybe wear them to Spinning tonight! They were a little over $40.00 which is pricey considering the sneakers were only $95.00 but I can feel the difference in the support already so they are a worth while investment!

Welcome

I enjoy blogs so much I said let me make (another) one! The other one I have is about my Weight Watchers journey I still post but my journey has evolved to more than just weight loss although weight loss is still very important to me. To kick things off I have 3 raves one is about Food: Newman's Own Lighten Up Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing



Of all the places I found this at McDonald's !!! They have a great Asian Chicken Salad and I really love this stuff!! Its only 1 point for 2 Tablespoons you can't beat that!

My second rave is about Fashion: In a word...Aldo! I was in a pinch and needed a fly red bag (yes AKAs look good in every color including reddddddd!) and I went there and I found THE bag its so cute I was stopped at least 5 times that day and about that bag! The online store has more options but I must say I really like their stuff good prices, good style, what more can a girl ask for? Aldo

Now everyone knows AKA's Boule is coming to DC and Aldo must be on the payroll! Check it out Sorors!
