Healthy Tip of the Day

Today was just an average Tuesday. Work was extremely busy but I stayed on track with my eating plan and didn't let my emotions get the best of me. Packing my own lunch and not having cash accessible keeps staying on track easy (so far). Today I brought Rold Gold cheddar flavored small twist pretzels to work as a snack, 20 pretzels are 2 weight watcher points. Very yummy! I also have to admit the news about Special K Original cereal having high fructose corn syrup in its ingredients is very frustrating! I actually have enjoyed eating it every morning for the last couple of weeks. All the other healthy cereals like Kashi Go Lean Crunch and Cherrios are good too but I needed a change and found LOVE in my box of Special K. I need to do more research about this ingredient, I want to know the details and why people believe high fructose corn syrup is so unhealthy. I'm a little behind on the healthy food trends. I have also decided that I'm going to take the night off from the gym and all the machines. Instead I followed the health tip on my blog and I have been doing squats throughout the night while putting away dishes, doing laundry and then adding a few extra here and there. I also plan on using my exercise band to work my triceps and back muscles before bed. Looking forward to a great Wednesday. :)

  1. If you love it - eat it! Despite having HFC, it is still low calorie and the important part is that you feel happy and satisfied enough not to reach for something else. HFC is just a simple sugar - if you are working out, it will break down and not turn to fat.

  2. Thanks for your thoughts. I agree, I enjoy eating Special K, but could always switch and enjoy another breakfast every few days so I keep a balanced and healthy diet. Matter of fact, I just had scrambled eggs with pepper and tomato for breakfast, needed some extra protein.
