I have lost 50 pounds since the birth of my child. That's right. 5 X 10
What's sad, is I have about 25 to go. You heard me.... I was one bloated preggo woman with multiple complications.
As of late, I am striving harder towards my goal of returning to pre-pregnancy weight and have made positive changes in my life.
I am drinking lots more water and eating healthier foods. I am exercising more.
Best of all, I am buying into the idea that purchasing snacks prepackaged in "100 calorie" units will allow me to indulge without being too indulgent.
STUPID. STUPID. STUPID.
Exhibit A: Chocolate chip cookies - yum
Look at those morsels...

| Microscopic morsel is more appropriate. |
I paid approximately $3.50 for this box of pre-packaged cookies. There are 6 packages in the box. A REAL chocolate cookie by this manufacturer has about 50 calories. So, if there are 100 calorie packs, then there is the equivalent of 2 cookies in each package of miniscule bites.
So, I paid $3.50 for a dozen cookies. Albeit really tiny ones.
If I was to purchase an actual size package of the SAME cookies, I would be spending approximately $3.50 as well. But here's the kicker.
There are about 24 cookies in a regular package. You've figured me out by now.
I paid double the money for tiny cookies.
Next time, I'll just buy the regular package and eat as many as I want.
By the way, the Look, Look picture from yesterday was a close up of....
My freshly pedicured toes.
Yes, I know they look like fingers.
No, I can't play the piano with them.
But, I've tried.
