Slices of Life

After rejoining Weight Watchers, I knew I wanted to reinstate my Weigh- In Wednesdays posts. On the third Wednesday of every month I'll have a new post/party up for everyone to share workout tips, weight loss thoughts and ideas, and healthy recipes to fuel us on our journey to better health.  Last month I shared what is a typical week of meals for me (for the most part anyway). This week I thought I'd share some of my regular "snacks" with you. I have actually gotten pretty good about not snacking much at all but when I do snack I fully admit that I haven't kicked the processed foods.  I am a huge fan of these Yasso bars-- particularly this past week or so while I've been dealing with a horrible sore throat.

Another Tuesday has arrived and another link party is here! We had a nice long holiday weekend here in the states. Alec came home for the long weekend and worked both Saturday and Sunday.

It's the second Monday of the month which means it's time for the Share Our lives link up. This month for the Share Our Lives link up we're sharing some of our favorite sweet tooth cravings.  Funny enough I don't remember having much of a sweet tooth until after I had kids of my own. I actually didn't like cake as a kid and I never much cared for chocolate even as a teen.  I don't know if it was pregnancy or what but I went from being the person that would rather eat French fries or potato chips and other savory snacks to craving sweets ALL the time!  I try really hard to curb that craving though and rarely "let" myself indulge but when I do I've got lots of favorites to pick from: Chocolate-- I don't like much plain chocolate but I do like dark chocolate and Lindt truffles but I prefer my chocolate mixed with something like...   peanut butter pairings like Nutty Bars, Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting,
