To go along with all this working out and drinking endless amounts of water, I am also trying to make a conscious effort to eat better as well. I have always thought that I hated almonds, but after trying them, I actually really like them. (Somewhere in Brazil Jenna’s heart skipped a beat and she doesn’t know why). I am also attempting to incorporate more veggies and fruits as well.
As I told you yesterday www.livestrong.com is becoming my new best friend. Not only is it helping me track my food and fitness, but the recipes on there haven’t been terrible yet. Tonight we had a Cream Cheese Alfredo dish. It was surprisingly good.
Here is the link to the recipe if you want to try it…

I actually used whole wheat noodles instead of protein noodles (because honestly I have no idea what those are.) I also added some garlic pepper, which is my go to spice of choice for almost anything Italianish.
If you try it or can think of anything to make it healthier/better let me know.
One pound at a time…
Kimberly..I have been eating almonds for snacks also and I felt the same way you do but I love them!! Let me tell you about some that I found....Emerald puts out a Cocoa Roast almond and they are so good! They are dusted with cocoa powder and no sugar. The first few bites taste like a chocolate cookie to me :) CVS and Publix has had them Buy One Get One Free from time to time. They can be a little pricey. As all almonds are. If you are interested I can let you know when I see them on sale.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck on your journey :)
Oh and they are lower in calories than the roasted almonds are :) Hope you get to try them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs. Wendy. I would love to try something new, and I love a sale, so just let me know when they are on sale. ;)
