So The Plan is still going really well. And I've made peace with the scale. Today was the first day that I just didn't care what it said. Well, okay, maybe I did care a little.... Probably in light of yesterday's shocking discovery that my not-so-trusty scale sometimes fibs, I just weighed myself, recorded the number and went about my business. Up or down, it didn't really matter. I am feeling good and my clothes are getting looser by the day.
I'm starting to understand that weight is a range, not a fixed, tried and true integer.
In other news, I found something wonderful, quite by accident, in the snack aisle of the grocery store today. Behold:
(Don't mind the French, I live in Canada.) I am a nut butter - especially peanut butter - slave (not that you could tell by this blog) so when I found these, I just couldn't resist. ) Quaker Crispy Delights Peanut Butter Crunch rice cake snacks - They are soooo good!
What an awesome treat for when I need a little sumthin sumthin.

What an awesome treat for when I need a little sumthin sumthin.Okay, I know there are a lot of controversy over these 90 or 100 calorie snack packs. Yes, they're not real food. Yes, they're loaded with all kinds of chemicals and junk. Yes, they're just empty calories. And Yes, sometimes you need to put the contents of the package under a magnifying glass to see what you're about to eat. And don't get me started on the environmental impact of all that extra packaging. I get all that.
But ya know, sometimes you just need something. Something to remind you that you're not on a diet. A little taste of a snack that you used to love. All in a safe protective package that keeps you from over indulging. A treat that you can easily sneak into your diet without a lot of sacrifice. Hell, even if you go NUTS and have TWO, you're only into them for 200 calories. No biggie.
So YES, I admit it, I am a big, BIG fan of the 100 calorie snack pack.

I have never had a 100 calorie snack pack before - although you do make them look tempting!

I think it all comes down to what works for you. I've tried a few different types and to me they weren't worth it because I didn't care for the taste all that much. But if you find one that you like and it does the trick when you are feeling snack-y, then more power to you.
And you are right about weight being a range rather than one number. As long as the range is going down and your clothes are fitting looser, things are working for you. :)
