Every Wednesday comes and goes and I say, "Ugh, I really need to join in" and I never do.
THIS is the week.
Honestly I have been doing really well with maintaining my blood sugar since I almost died and found out the hard way that I am Type 2 Diabetic. But I want to lose some weight, in a healthy way.
A bloggy group seems like a great way to stay on a routine and support and be supported by other foxy mamas who wanna lose the muffin top (don't you adore the button shortmama created? Hilarious!).
So each week shortmama asks us to share something we are doing to be healthier.
Shortmama asks:
This week tell me what are some of your favorite healthy snacks?
I am a snacker. I swear sometimes I feel like a toddler grazing through the day.
I like to keep the following in my fridge at all times:
1. sugar free Jell-o cups (sometimes I squirt a little low cal whipped cream on top)
2. sugar free pudding cups
3. string cheese
4. baby carrots
5. celery (I love the water packed already sliced...worth the extra few bucks)
(why YES, I did take a picture of my refrigerator, and yep, I like thinks organized...if it's a sickness mama don't want the cure!)In the pantry I always have a stash of 100 Calorie packs. My Faves:
1. Lorna Doone
2. Mr'. Pretzel chocolate and yogurt covered pretzels
3. Goldfish...(my family is in love with these little guys Costco has them in 100 calorie packs)
On my counter top:
1. Apples (so yum with peanut butter, a great source of protein)
2. oranges, or little cuties (easy and yum)
When it comes to snacking I think the key is to have healthy choices around. If I have junk in the house, I will eat it. I have very little will power. I know this about myself so I don't tempt myself.
It's that simple.
Before I sign off I want to leave you with one of my all time favorite songs by Mika.
Wanna know a secret, I love my body...shocked?
I know, I know, chubby girls are not suppose to love themselves right?
WRONG!!!
I have some dangerous curves and even though I am far from perfect, parts of me are F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!
YES...I want to be healthier, but I am OK being curvy too...for real.
I am comfortable in my own skin.
I hope my daughter learns that from me.
Be healthy, but love yourself even if you aren't a size zero.
Enjoy...

Can you come organize my kitchen please?
You are right! Nothing wrong with curves as long as YOU are ok with them!
You are a great role model!
Have a HAPPY week!
I like your outlook. It is all a process. I think you really cant starve yourself or go crazy eating healthy but finding things with options. I love chocolate and would eat it as three square meals if I could. However that is no good so I found a great greek yogurt alternative. I like it in the am and for dessert.
Love me some options ;)

I wish my fridge was as organized as yours!
my healthy snacks are: Almonds, Cottage Cheese, Apples and Peanut Butter, Baby Carrots. Peanuts.
Sounds like a great group!
I love that YOU love your body. Way to go to say it! And loved the video! I've never seen it. I'm not about to go dancing in the street in bright blu corset but I loved it!
great post! i love p.b. apple slices, cheese cubes and wheat things, oikos greek chocolate on the bottom yogurt, strawberries, carrots/celery and ranch...
but i also love chips and ice cream too,lol!!
I wish I had your outlook when it comes to my body image.
I am a snacker also and I'm sure thats where my 4 yr old gets her grazing tendencies. She would love all those yummy snacks at your house.
Holy organized...EVERYTHING, Batman! I am in awe!
I like when women can be confident and comfortable with how they are, but want to make changes for health reasons instead of superficial ones.
I figure, as long as Roon still flirts with me, then there must be something right with the way I look!
I love this challenge and now that I am healed up I am going to get back into the swing of being healthier again.
You want to know something interesting, we have the very same refrigerator as you. However yours is much more organized than mine is.

If you want to add a yummy low calorie snack to your celery get some laughing cow cheese. They are so yummy and only 35 calories for one triangle.
I am the same way....I cant keep the junky stuff in my house or its a guarantee that I will eat it!
I love your view of yourself. Since starting this weight loss thing I have become more comfortable in my own skin...accepting myself as I am now!
Thanks for joining in!
Welcome to FMTTSJ.
I am dancing to your video as I type.
And I am loving my spotted muffin top. I better love it now because soon it will be gone.
Wow your fridge is organized. Thanks for sharing your snacks and the song :)
now I'm hungry for some snacks!!!
Okay -- first of all, I want your fridge/freezer!! :)
Secondly -- hooray for you for joining this group. It sounds fun, and I think you will do really well.
Thirdly -- simply this: YOU GO, GIRL!!
Oh, and Fourthly -- my fave healthy(ish) snack are multigrain tortilla chips with LOADS of salsa!!
Snacks - We like the 100 calorie packs, too. I also like Skinny Cow cones.
A post about food? You know I love it! I love grapes, nuts, and edemame for snacks.
And I am jealous that you got the good legs genes.
