3 posts in a row:)

So the question asked of me for my blog posting is what I eat for snacks? I don't eat snacks. I eat 3 meals a day and if I have a snacky type food, I have it during those meals. I know that is not what most people want to do, but I think snacks can really add up quickly calorie wise and I do think at the end of the day, calorie consumption does matter. I would say especially since I am trying to maintain and maintaining is not easy. That is why the BFC has provided a lifestyle for me. I know what I can and can't have, and if I over do carbs for example, I eat far less the next day.
Spinach/spicy burger/cheese omelette
Candied pretzels
No bakes 
Here are some of my favorite things, and what I ate tonight. I have been obsessed lately with red pepper flakes. I put them in my potato soup, hash browns, eggs, pizza...I love them!!! I have started putting them in ground beef when I fry it up. I add Johnny's seasoning salt and a ton of pepper flakes and it is so yummy. I either make quesadilla's, taco's  or omelettes with it. For some reason I have never liked the flavor of the taco packet seasonings, so the pepper flakes work for us. 
I still eat my candied pretzels, strawberries and cool whip every day. 3 berries 
I make the chocolate no bakes about every 2 weeks and eat them sporadically. 
For breakfast I eat an English muffin with butter and nature's hollow on one side and crunchy  Peanut Butter and nature's hollow on the other side. The English muffin is only 22 carbs and if I recall zero sugar. On the other days when I have more time, I eat my potato/sausage/egg scramble. 
Lunches are kind of hard since I quit eating the sandwich thins. I may have another English muffin the same way, or I have 1/2 can of the costco chili with 2 cut up hot dogs. Sometimes I just eat a can of chicken noodle soup. I just don't eat all the noodles. 
I try and add spinach to as many things as I can because it is really the only veggie that I eat. 
Since I am hardly a nutrition oriented person, I am certainly not suggested eating like me, I am just saying it is possible for me to eat this way the rest of my life. 
I did buy some sugar free chocolate toffee's yesterday. I have just been craving the almond roca so I thought that may help. It's a good think most of my Christmas celebrations are over and I won't be confronted with cookies or treats. 
My heart still goes out to the families in CT. I don't know if I mentioned it, but one of the little boys that died had a twin sister that survived. I can't imagine what my twins would do without each other. They still fight and argue, even at close to 25, but they truly love each other. Wow. I am also saddened by everyone saying that because he was "different" and possibly had Aspberger's, something should have been done about him? What???  In this very blog a long time ago I had mentioned that my daughter had most of the symptoms of Aspbergers. But would she murder me and then go murder 20 school children and 6 amazing hero's? Never. There is no answer to Evil. None. There are no answers and sadly little peace for the families. Ugh...I need to turn the news off. 
Trying to show my lack of belly!
Blessings and happy scales:)

    Kay you look great! Your no snacking rule is a good one because you get full on more nutritional food. When I make snacks I tend to eat them instead of cooking because it's easier! I plan on making major adjustments after Christmas.

    You look beautiful Kay! The funny thing about snacking is that my mom does not snack either and has been on the BFC for 2 years, has lost her weight, and has been able to maintain at 130-131. She will enjoy an indulgence every once in a while but she eats 3 meals a day without snacks and is very satisfied. I may have to try that because half the time I'm not even really hungry but I think I am. Adding the snacks in with my meals may be the key.

    Your spinach, spicy burger & cheese omelette looks wonderful!! I think I might try making one of those this week. So for the spicy burger meat do you just add the Johnny's seasoning salt and red pepper flakes to ground beef?

    Thanks for sharing - this was a great post (as all of yours are) :)

    You know I love spicy anything and add red pepper to many things too. You look beautiful by the way and I am so happy that we have found a way of eating that we can do forever.
    Have a great day :-)

    I do think that no snacking is the key, too. I am not really hungry when I snack, and if I am it's because I didn't eat enough of a meal! I make my own taco seasoning (well it's Alton Brown's taco potion 19) and it's super yum!

      I am going to look this taco seasoning up Dawn. Maria had posted one awhile back and I never got around to trying it. I hate all the extra junk in the packets, so it would be great to make my own. XO

    Hi Kay! This is a great post. I resolve to do more like this in the new year. It gives everyone ideas and helps us stay on track. No more sandwich thins? You are the reason I eat them without guilt because they are so good and low in sugar, even if there is some bad stuff in them. I agree with the snacking. I also agree with calories. For me personally I can't eat all the sugar free carb free treats and keep the weight down. That's not how my body handles things. Sending you hugs and love and great job on the posting!!XO
