Back on track

I'm just putting it on the record that I've just gotten past the worst case of PMS of my life. Raging hormones, moodiness, and bloating wreaked havoc on my diet/exercise regime. So, even though I tipped the scale at 148 Monday (I'm so embarrassed!), I know at least some of it is water retention, and I'm back on track to lose it. I've been taking my wierd herbs (corn silk, uva ursi, spanish black radish, acai berry, seaweed complex) to help flush the excess water and toxins out. And yesterday I got a new exercise DVD from Netflix: the Bollywood workout, so I burned some calories having fun belly dancing.
I'm back to tracking my food servings faithfully. Here are a couple of my favorite low-calorie, high-nutrition snacks. For a sweet craving: vanilla Yoplait Light Thick and Creamy yogurt with 1 cup strawberries (total 150 calories, 5g protein, 4g fiber; fresh strawberries are my absolute favorite fruit). For a salty craving: salsa-flavored Eating Right (Safeway brand) Potato Crisps dipped in 1/4 cup picante sauce mixed with 1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese (total 230 calories, 15g protein; the salsa/cottage cheese mix may sound and look gross, but it is really yummy, nutritious, and filling). There is a lot to be said about those little "100-calorie packs" you can buy at the store (I mean, if you need chocolate-covered pretzels, you'd better exercise portion control), but I guarantee that either of these snacks are giving you more nutritional bang for your buck and will keep you satisfied longer.
