Day 3 - Trying to be less calorie dense...

I hate feeling hungry! So I'm always trying to find the most amount of food I can eat for the lowest calories. It's kind of like shopping on the clearance rack. You may not find the hippest, cutest stuff- but it's a lot easier on the wallet.
At dinner tonight I filled up on green peas because they're only 70 cal per 2/3 cup. I know there's tons of vegetables that are even better than that caloriewise. They're just what I had in the house.
Strawberries are like when you find something you actually like on the clearance rack- and it's even in your size! A cup of chopped strawberries is only 50 calories! Can't wait until they're in season again!
And when I'm hankering for some crackers, I go for the Wasa wafers. They're pretty good sized for only 35 calories a pop. Add a triangle of Light Laughing Cow cheese and you've got a tasty snack that will actually tide you over. Wow, I sound like a commercial. Like that lady in the old snickers commercial with the sweet 80's feathered hair who says "ya know when your stomach's just pokin' at ya".

If you don't know what I'm talking about check it out here. It's truly genius in commercial writing. http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/5126/

Walked for 30 minutes on the treadmill. Kept track of calories in the food log. Stayed in the limit.
Today's weight - 180.4
