I didn't eat.... I snacked late afternoon on some bbq baked lay's (should never of bought them) and then I ended up snacking on some chocolate. I am seriously thinking of throwing the candy away. Hubby and I don't need it and really the kids don't need all of that sugar either. Tomorrow will be a better day.:flowerforyou:

    I found a Trader Joe's in Springfield VA. It's about an hour and 1/2 drive from my house. Do you have a list of "must have's" if I decide to drive up there next week?

    I admitt I am WEAK when it comes to sweets and chocolate is my killer. so I have NONE in the house.
    .I find if its not here.. I will not eat it.
    I dont even buy chips..
    I recall a statement by 93 yrs old Jack lalain...( I think I spelled that right..;-) ).. If man Makes it he doesnt eat it.. he looks GREAT.. I thought that was a great bit of info. he stick to the good things mother earth provides.
    he hasnt had sweets since he was 15 years old. what a man..!!! thats will-power !!!
    I just have to remember its a journey...every day is a new chance to succeed at keeping myself healthy.
    Good Luck to you...don't give up !!!

    I had tuna on whole grain crackers. I have to say though, that I have tried many of the suggestions I've seen on this site for mayonnaise substitutions and so far I dont like any of them. I may just have to use the mayo unless anyone has anymore suggestions. I'm willing to try anything. So far I have tried plain yogurt, hummus, salsa and fat free sour cream. Have anything else???

    I use regular mayo. I can't stand the lowfat stuff and we won't even discuss the fat free mayo:noway:

    I really don't use mayo that often ( unless I make tuna salad) so, I just log the calories and call it a day.

    Seconded! I'll sometimes used mashed avocado on sandwiches, but there is no fooling me with mayo.

    Try mixing your tuna with mustard, it's good and better for you!:bigsmile:

    I mix my tuna with lowfat cottage cheese, or light ranch dressing. If you don't like the chunkiness of the cottage cheese, you can blend it until it's smooth.

    I had:
    trader joes roasted vegetable enchiladas
    trader joes southwest gourmet flatbreads
    peas

    I found a Trader Joe's in Springfield VA. It's about an hour and 1/2 drive from my house. Do you have a list of "must have's" if I decide to drive up there next week?

    Here are a few things. They have so much stuff. Just check labels. Some things are higher but all of these are pretty reasonable. I can get a couple of bags full of staples for around $30 too! Again, some things are higher but overall, I can find a deal.

    *Trader Joes Cinnamon Crumpets: 110 calories, 0 fat (great breakfast with a banana or yogurt)
    *Trader Joes French Toast: 110 calories a slice (nice, thick pieces full of flavor)
    *Trader Joes Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas: 300 calories for the whole thing (one of my fav meals)
    *Trader Joes Southwest Style Gourmet Flatbreads: 90 calories and 3 g fat per serving (around the salsas and tortilla chips)
    *Trader Joes Sour Cream and Onion Crisps (made with Rice): 120 calories and 3.5 g of fat per serving. (They really help my craving for chips. You can have 38 of them per serving and they almost taste like cool ranch doritos to me)
    *Trader Joes Extra Lean Ground Beef Patties: 150 Calories, 5 g fat per serving
    *Trader Joes Chili Lime Chicken Burgers (frozen): 110 calories
    *Trader Joes Southwest Turkey Burgers (frozen): 110 calories
    *Trader Joes Turkey Hot Dogs: 45 calories each and no nitrates or caseins (tasty)
    *Trader Joes whole wheat hamburger and hot dog buns
    *Trader Joes Apple/Cranberry Bran Muffins: 80 calories and 13 g fiber!
    *Trader Joes Pomegranate/Cranberry Muffins: Around 100 calories and 13 g fiber
    *Trader Joes Apple Tarte Tatin: 120 calories for 1/4 of pie, in the bakery/dessert area. It is a little expensive...around $6.99 for the pie, so I only get it once in awhile, but it is really good and low enough that you could put a little light ice cream on top!


    I like their frozen veggies and fish section too. Also, in the fresh veggie area (around the salads) they have a lot of pre-cut fruits and veggies. Makes it easy to snack. I like the pre-cut sweet potato spears. I will put them in a bowl and coat with a little pam to moisten and then sprinkle some salt, pepper and maybe some spices on and bake for some really tasty sweet potato fries.
