But you know what?
I feel like I had some great healthy options, so I never felt deprived.
You are in luck, because today I will share my faves with you!

I absolutely LOVE these wraps.
Most tortillas you eat are high in calories, made with white or corn flour, and high in sodium. After you pile on the fun stuff, you could reach 1,000 calories easily and that's just ridiculous. Instead, I sub these babies in and use them for everything. You can make sandwiches, tacos, or even bake them into chips to use instead of regular ol' fried chips. This week, I made fish tacos, Basil Pesto Chicken wraps, and Chicken club wraps (minus the bacon). All of which hit the spot!
My other staple has been Citrus Jalapeno Fish.
Talk about easy and yummy! I paired it with veggies or made fish tacos with the wraps.
I love me some fish tacos. Ole'.
As for snacks, I have found some new loves:
These suckers are addicting, as are the other flavors, and If I portion them out then they are PERFECT. The key is pre-portioning them.
I don't know how many of you know the wonders of squash...but I'll let you in on a secret:
It can taste like PUMPKIN PIE!
You can use Butternut, Acorn, or Kabocha (biiiiig squash, but still yummy), and they all have a lovely sweet flavor. Add a little pumpkin pie spice, and you've struck gold.
Who says healthy can't be yummy?
I also wanted to share a new site that a reader showed me. It's called the Diet Spotlight, and seems to be the ultimate resource when it comes to diet/weight loss reviews. I know I always question new popular workouts or fad diets, so I think it's kind of cool that they do the research for you!
Just thought I would pass it along.
Well, y'all...wish me me luck!
Hopefully, I can share some good news tomorrow ;)

You kick ass everyday..but today especially. Because those wasabi and soy nuts--well, I can easily eat them all day everyday. YUMMO! I want to go out and buy those wraps ASAP! I usually tend to stay away from breads, wraps, etc. because like you said, they're chock full of stupid calories. Thanks for the tip :)
Oooh I need to check out those wraps!
Oh my goodness. I love those almonds! They are so yummy, however I tend to not know when to stop eating. And I love squash! I never thought to make it sweet though. Genius.
<3
I'll have to find those tortillas at the grocery store for the next time we go, and I love the idea of using squash for pumpkin pie :)
Good luck girl, but I know you'll do great!!!
