I started a love affair with bagels when I was in junior high. Shout out to Grace Yokley! In high school I would eat a big old bagel with a soda every morning. I was the type of gal who weighted 110 lbs with out even trying. I think being an athlete since kindergarten allowed me to get away with eating more crap than most. Plus there was that run in with Mr. Tapeworm...Anywho, after I graduated and went into the real world I learned real quick eating a bagel every morning with globs of cream cheese would result in a muffin top! It was so hard to break the habit I had formed and found myself eating the bagel but starving myself through out the rest of the day. It took years for me to develop a healthy relationship with food and taking care of my body. I think its amazing that in our day and age there are so many alternatives so we can get what we crave with out having to put a bunch of empty calories in our body. Years ago I discovered Bagel Thins and recently I have embraced using Weight Watchers cream cheese. Bagel Thins are low in calories AND carbohydrates. The Weight Watchers whipped cream cheese is low in calories and sodium. I don't know about you but sodium really kicks my booty sometimes, or at least adds a lot of water weight to it :) Love bagels as much as I do but watching your waistline? Here's what I prepared this morning and its was only about 200 calories and 27 grams of carbs:
- Wheat Bagel Thin
- 2 tablespoons of Weight Watchers whipped cream cheese
- 4 slices of avacado
- Dash of crushed red pepper and sea salt for some zing!
I just finished my audition, it went well! I'm such a nerd....I can't believe I forgot I had it. I meant to reschedule with them yesterday because I ended up getting a paid gig today. I got so lost in yesterday's gig I spaced and completely forgot.
Well, I'm a strong believer in everything happens for a reason. The most important things is I still was able to have the audition and now it's up to the Universe if I land the gig. I hope I do ;) but if I don't not biggie. Lesson of the day, USE MY ORGANIZER EVERYDAY. Well, now time for Wendy Williams then to the gym for my Jessica Simpson workout.
