Fat Butt Friday - Finding a Focus and Yummy Snacks

"One of my New Year's wishes was to shed some of the weight I had gained during my pregnancy with Little Monster, and so in my attempt to do so, I felt it was harder to hide late night snacking and lack of motivation if I put myself on the line and in the spotlight. Every Friday, I will be sharing my weight loss journey (including my successes and failures), as well as delicious recipes, meal ideas, and exercise suggestions. Join me if you accept the challenge to lose weight and gain a healthier life! (Don't forget to grab my button in the sidebar)"

Another BAD week and, I am now starting to feel like a failure but, I am NOT giving up!

Next week I am going to take a step back and start focusing on one thing at a time. Here is my focus for next week...

Drink 8-8oz. glasses of water a day

I gained 3 lbs. this past Tuesday when a monstrous headache sent me into some kind of wild and crazy feeding frenzy. I think I ate everything but the roof on my house.

For the next couple of weeks I also want to focus on snacks that you can enjoy. Don't forget that you have to eat in order to stay healthy and lose weight in a healthy way. Here is the simple recipe for an iced or frozen mocha that I have been enjoying recently.

Iced/Frozen Mocha

ice
coffee
low fat milk
low fat chocolate syrup
Splenda

• fill a glass with ice
• pour coffee in the glass to fill a little less than halfway
• pour the milk in to fill the glass
• add approx. 1 tbs. chocolate syrup
• optional- add Splenda to make a little sweeter if you prefer

If you would like to enjoy this frozen, add ingredients to a blender (including ice) for a few seconds until it becomes smooth.

What kinds of simple and delicious snacks do you enjoy?
