Food Finds - Sandwich Thins & Mack's Flax

The bread below, is one of the varieties that comes from the Silver Hill's Bakery. Each slice is only 1 point. You can find this bread at most local stores, including the day old bakery store. I always keep several loaves in my freezer (tip: these loaves have no preservatives so keeping them in the freezer or refrigerator is recommended)

Here are those Orowheat Sandwich Thins that a lot of members have mentioned. I found them at Costco and Haggens. They are great for hamburgers or any kind of grilled sandwich as the entire bun or thins are only 1 point.

Week 29 - Preview - Move More Whatever the weather

Member success may be deterred during Summertime due to the belief that warmer weather makes it more difficult to exercise.

Members need to think about and plan their activities.

In order to avoid the heat of the day, you may want to exercise early in the morning or in the evening.

This is just one of the ideas we will discuss in our meeting this week.

One way that "I" change up my walking exercise with the dogs, is to find some new and different things to observe on our daily walks. For example: Check out the varieties of berries that might be ripening this time of year, learn about the plants and animals that you come across, by checking out a book at the library or looking for a small field guide online.

Visit some of the parks we have in town. Some have shaded paths and would be a relief to walking on the hot pavement.

Come this week to learn more about moving more in the Summertime.

Week 28-Roundup- The Weightloss Benefits Of Being On Vacation

I'm reminding you of the challenge this week...

At each meal you need to fill half your plate with fruits or vegetables. Also, decide how you will handle travel this Summer.

Vacations are all about taking care of yourself. If vacations are treated like "normal" days, we can take care of ourselves everyday.

Above are photos from today. We went shopping at Boxx Berry Farm. Unfortunately, blogger.com is giving us issues with our photos. Last week, it wouldn't let us upload one set of photos and this week we can upload, but not in order and we can't move them or add captions, lovely!

So, the first photo is of me adding low fat mozzarella cheese to a mainly vegetable pizza made with whole wheat pizza dough. You can purchase it from Trader Joe's. We had broccoli, bell peppers, artichoke hearts, patty-pan squash, minature pickled eggplants, lean meatballs, low fat pizza sauce. It was 3 points a slice. This pizza had 8 servings. Very filling, loaded with green diamond foods.

The rest of the photos are of Boxx B. Farm. It was a great day.
