No Pudge Fudge

I have to mention No Pudge Fudge, pretty much my favorite non-fruit dessert. You can make a single brownie in a coffee cup. Three tablespoons of brownie mix. Two tablespoons of nonfat yogurt. One minute in the microwave and you get a hot, delicious brownie. 

I like plain because I add some jam for fruit flavor, but they also have raspberry and mint flavor. 

It saves me on those chocolate days. That is not an exaggeration. It saves my life.

Progress

I'm down again because I've been doing it right.

Went to Trader Joe's last weekend and stocked up. They have these mini thin crackers that taught me why they are called *crack*ers. I can't get enough, especially with their tahini-free hummus that's only 2 PPs per small serving. So I eat more and have a few extra points. Totally worth it.

I also got some cranberry sauce there that I put in some plain yogurt. Only 100 calories per 1/4 cup. If I put a tablespoon in it is only one point per delicious snack. It actually looks like food, too, not just gelatinous ooze the sloops out of the can. Yum.

They also have a European-style yogurt that is wonderful. Two PPs for 3/4 cup. It's runnier like I always enjoy overseas. And cheap. I add my favorite high-fiber TJ cereal and a banana for breakfast. Four PPs. It usually lasts me till lunch.

I left the store with a $27 bill and a ton of food. Healthy food!

Another lesson

Today I helped my boyfriend move to a new apartment. It was all day lifting, climbing stairs, etc. I decided this called for a big meal that I wouldn't normally order.

I got a burger with bacon and onion rings.

And now there is a rock in my stomach and a fire around my heart.

So yeah. I would have been better off saving the points and getting something healthy.

Then again, this reminder of the costs of unhealthy meat bombs is maybe not really so bad...
