Trying Something New

So today went great! I had Special K for breakfast with skim milk and a bottle of water, then a salad, yogurt, and berries for lunch. But my new snack that I tried yesterday and today was Spinach and Artichoke Hummus with Wheat Thin crackers...delicious! I tried hummus once before and wasn't to sure about it but the flavored hummus is really good and 2 tablespoons is 2 weight watcher points, which isn't too bad if your following their plan. I also bought an avocado to try with my salads this week. I love avocado but never bought one myself. I did some research and the skin of the fruit is poisonous to pets if they eat it and when the inside is exposed to air it turns black. I planned on just using it a little bit each day this week but i don't know if it will be possible. Looking for avocado tips if you know of any. :) OK now I'm off to the gym. I have been using the elliptical machine and the bicycle. Does anyone know the difference between the stationary bike and then the long bike. I have been using the long bike when your legs stretch out in front of you but I'm not sure that is the best choice. Suggestions? Have a great night everyone.

  1. Avocado update, I cut up my avocado and added a little bit to my salad each day and my avocado didn't grey or turn black :) When I cut the avocado in half I used a little bit on the side without the pit, leaving the pit in the other side. Then I took the two pieces and put them together, wrapped them in plastic wrap and put them in a zip loc bag inside a plastic gladware container. I know I over did it a bit but it worked. When I finished the first half of the avocado I took the pit out of the second half and it wasn't black. The avocado lasted me a whole week with out turning yucky! Success!
