low calorie shopping list

ughh!
here i go again... counting calories... 


maybe ill start working out for real... that wouldn't be so bad... would
take up a good deal of my time but that is at least productive.. especially considering that i have no friends on this base yet.


anyways here are some of my personal favorites AND some fantastic ideas.


Unsweetened Almond Breeze: This stuff is amazing!! It is only 40 calories a cup. 
       Sometimes I put it in cereal, or smoothies


OHANA'S unique bite size won ton6 for 80 calories; That means that 9 of them (a perfect lunch) are 120 calories!     wonderful!


Trader Joe's Chocolate WedgesThese one-serving sized chocolate wedges are a gift to those of us who love chocolate, but strive to eat it in moderation. Each wedge is 35 calories.


Fiberful Fruit Bar: 60 calories for this delicious fruit leather type bar. not quite fruit by the foot but still tasty. 


Wasabi Peas: 1/3 cup for 80 calories. They are very difficult to overeat because of their extremely strong wasabi flavor. Not only can you only eat one or two at a time, but they are also *not* the kind of snack where you will accidentally eat the whole bag.


Miso Soup: i found some fantastic packets of instant miso soup! and i love miso soup. like.. ALOT! there are 35 calories per package which i ALSO adore.


La Tortilla Factory high fiber tortillasYou can buy them in one of two sizes, either a 50 calorie version or an 80 calorie version. i like to put Hormel Turkey Pepperoni on it with a baybel laughing cow mini cheese (light of course which is 50 calories) all cut up for a low cal mini pizza splurge when i want to treat myself.


Hormel Turkey Pepperoni: 17 slices is 70 calories.. and i actually cant think of a time ill ever eat 17 slices at one time... maybe 4?!! lol anyway, definitely good if you want to make my mentioned before pizza.


Edamame: ohhhh i love me some edamame! If you eat 10 pods, you are eating approximately 29 calories. and quite good. i flavor mine with pepper instead of salting them like one would get at a restaurant. 


well... im running out of steam for writing right now.. but!!! ill write more later. 


im trying to get over this flu i got..
goofy navy gave me the flu shot and whaddyaknow?? i got the flu. 
i feel so ucky and grody and sick. 


but i will be healthy again soon and i get to go on leave soon. 


while on leave i plan to start taking my appetite suppressants i wrote about earlier. 
im going to try to stay motivated to record how they work for me. 
sometimes i lose the motivation to write on this blog often... and i wish i were better at it.. and the way i see it the only way to get better is to do it damnit...


oh also... i have a small shopping list of things im going to be getting:


  1. scale(im so tired of not knowing...)
  2. Velcro ankle weights/ body weights 
  3. Britta Filter
  4. Running shoes
  5. Ice cube tray
