Great snack! Cheese string or the multi pack cheese slices and Kirkland unsalted mixed nuts.

 Greek yogurt, stevia and blueberries

 Great lunch. A few slices of turkey, Kirkland pesto, sliced tomato and provolone cheese. Broil on high 5-6 minutes or until cheese is melted and starts to brown. 

 Yogurt, barleans omega swirl lemon flavor (Costco pharmacy) stevia

 Snack of 72% cacao and Kirkland pecans

 Tortilla chips, Jaunita’s are my favorite with guacamole or this yummy Asiago dip from Costco

Apple slices and peanut butter

Bad News

This is kind of sad, but I have not been as diligent as I should have been and weight has crept back on! I am recommitting as I know I am a prime candidate for diabetes! I will be posting my journey. There have been some stressful things and also I have been traveling but there should be no excuses. It just goes to show how if you change your habits, you change your life!
