Day 2

Okay, so I hemmed and hauled about sending out the link to my blog to all of my friends and family but I ended up doing it! I hope that everyone enjoys what I write/babble about :) The reason why I didnt' want to send this out is b/c it said my weight on it! Ewgh.. I know it's just a number...BUT...its funny how easy it is to get sooooo caught up on that one dumb little number..... it follows you around everywhere you go...I wonder when it starts.. when do you think girls start to worry about that number? One of my bestest friends daughter is 5 and she ALREADY asks what is fat, what is skinny.... and we think...oh no, what are we doing!! We try our hardest not to talk about weight and stuff in front of her, but did you ever have one of those days/weeks/months where it comsumes your conversations? LOL
Anyway have a great day.... and I cannot wait until the weekend! It's suppossed to be 1/2 nice, 1/2 rain... hmmmm....what to do....

Popcorn!

Too funny. I had the hardest time figuring out how many points my Orville Redenbacher 94% fat free smart pop popcorn was for the WHOLE bag... well apparently I'm not alone.... I was on my favorite blogsite, Roni's Weigh and found this old post of hers: This is one of the most asked questions on the Weight Watchers boards. Why is it so tough calculate points for popcorn? Let me break down the brand I eat. Orville Redenbacher’s Smart Pop 94% Fat Free Butter 2.9oz bag (regular size bag, not the mini or 100 cal pack)According to the bag, a serving size is 3 tbsp unpopped (7 cups popped) there are 2 servings per container which means the bag contains 6 tbsp of unpopped popcorn (14 popped) Nutritional information for 6tbsp unpopped: 240 calories 4 g of fat 8 g of Fiber 4 points Now the bag gives the calorie count for 1 cup popped as 15 calories.
