Pea Pod Party

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Yesterday Simon and I went grocery shopping and I’m just amazed at the change that we’ve made in our diet the last few months.  We found the pea pods here that we’d found in PG, who knew that one day I would actually be excited to find pea pods.  You should have seen the big grin I my face, what a putz.  I had a nice big bowl of them today with lunch and it was great.  Aside from the pea pods we came out of Save-On with what I would call a very successful shopping trip.  A whole lot of veggies and not junk, yeah go us.  We got zucchini, butternut squash, PEA PODS, baby carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, but what we didn’t get what even more amazing.  We passed on all the chocolate, sugar, and other assorted bad for you nasty stuff we used to buy.

Now if it wasn’t so fricking hot out we might actually feel like cooking it.

The Pea Pod Progess

Still loving me some pea pods at night, it’s amazing to know I’ve found something healthy to replace the chocolate snacking a night. Might want to check outside and see if there’s any pigs flying about. Hehe. Of course I did eat a whole bag of chips yesterday at work because I was feeling snacky, still I didn’t get any big bags of chocolate to go with it.

Yeah, go me.

That is a lot of damned calories folks!!!

The Enemies:

Smarties Total Calories = 947

Smarties Peanut Total Calories = 1082

Reese Total Calories (stand up bag) = 1333

MMs Total Calories (stand up bag) = 1298

After being astounded to find out how many calories I was stuffing into my face on a daily basis, eating one of these per night is no longer an option, not even close!!!

The Alternative: (started tonight)

Pea Pod Total Calories = negligible

Day 1 = Success, Woohoo!!
