Yummy!

I have a horrible sweet tooth. I try not to have sweet stuff in the house or I just eat it all up. Grandma showed me a yummy treat though that isn't all that bad for you, but satisfies my sweet craving.

I've modified it just to use fat-free cool whip.

Diced Apples (I really like using the Braebrun apples. They have a good crunch to them, but they are a sweet apple)
Mini Marshmallows (which are fat free!!)
Fat Free Cool Whip

I use a whole apple and a handfull of marshmallows. Just use enough cool whip to coat. Keep it nice and cold in the fridge.

Another variation that I tried today that turned out really good....pears! Wal-Mart had a good price on pears so with a whole apple I also added half a pear (the other half the kids ate with their lunch).

YUMMY!!!!

Check me out!

I really like Jennifer's idea of posting a "fat girl blog". This way everyone can see just how well (or not so well) that I am doing. It also keeps me honest about my weight loss.

I am starting from my pre-pregnancy weight of 200 pounds. I gained 17 pounds at the time Paisley was born so I think that I am just red-hot right now!! It helps that since family was here we weren't eating fast food 4-5 times a week. If I keep that up that pounds should really start to come off.

The 190 pounds was what the scale at the gym read today. Yes, to everyone that I know is going to ask, I am taking it easy. I walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes and a low speed (2.5). I'll keep that up until I see Dr. Wood (my OB) on the 20th. As soon as he gives me the go ahead then I'll start revving up the work outs.

Tuesdays, for now, are the best day to weigh myself. It's early enough in the week so that I remember to take it easy over the weekend and Lorelei doesn't have therapy that day so for now that is going to be my "weigh day".
