PMS + Leftover Candy = Not A Good Thing

Yeah, I'm totally PMS-ing right now. Sorry if thats too much information but, ugh. I feel fat, bloated, uncomfortable, and craving everything in sight. Especially when I woke up this morning and my mom forgot to put the bowl of leftover candy away. And there it was. Sitting there. Staring at me. All day. Until I had to leave for work of course and then there was MORE candy at work. Everybody brought in their leftover candy and oh my gosh, its just candy overload!

And now that I'm totally PMS-ing I want all the chocolate even more. I tried to stay strong. I had a good workout this morning, a 5 mile walk. (It was 60 degrees today! In November! 60!!! Sorry, just a little excited here.) Anyways, I just had one of my Weight Watchers bagels for breakfast with fat free cream cheese, then a PB&J on whole wheat bread, with sugar free jelly and reduced fat peanut butter and a Yoplait Light yogurt for lunch. I did really good up until then until I caved and had a Milky Way. I hate how weak I can be sometimes.

Then I remained strong until work, but once there I caved again with that darn Laffy Taffy. Only one but still, one more than I wanted to have in the first place. I need to be strong! Doesn't sound like I'm doing so good so far, huh?

I did try a new Smart Ones frozen dinner tonight though. Trying to make smarter choices for dinner is definitely something I need to be doing. When I work late or run out of time during the day, sometimes I turn to grabbing food on the way home. Not a smart idea. So when I don't have the time to make a meal, I'm going to turn to soups and frozen dinners now or pre-make something beforehand so I have it ready for me in the fridge of freezer.

Tonight I tried one of the new Smart Ones frozen dinners that come in the steam fresh bag. It was a marinara ziti pasta with meatballs. I was actually surprised by how good it was! I think the bag really helps with the defrosting process. Because sometimes frozen meals can just taste so blah. But I really enjoyed this one! Perfect for nights when you run out of time to cook a meal.


My lovely pasta dinner with a piece of string cheese on the side and a glass of Crystal Light. Very yummy!

Well I hope everyone had a happy first day of November! I wasn't surprised when I went to Target today to see they had their Christmas decorations up already. Bring on the holiday madness!
