Not my best way to start a challenge

So yesterday was day 1 of our Lower Carb challenge.  TECHNICALLY, I did stay below my calories and carbs, HOWEVER, I could have done a lot better.  There may or may not have been some cocoa truffles from Trader Joe's.  They may or may not be in the garbage because I have no self control.

Saddest thing I've ever seen

I'm not sure why I do this to myself.  I do well all day, and then girlfriend goes down for her nap and I start perusing.  A little taste here, a little bite there.  I have the right snacks, lots of them! I suppose they don't do much good just sitting there though.  Some of my favorite lower carb snacks include:

• Raw veggies with low fat ricotta
• light string cheese
• faux turkey slices (favorite ones are Tofurky hickory flavored)
• low carb tortilla with goat cheese and roasted red peppers
• peanut butter with celery 
• almonds 

Those are just a few :-) It's much harder staying low carb while also staying lower calorie AND vegetarian.  But I just love a good challenge!

Getting in the right mindset today and really focusing on overall health! Christmas is sneaking up on us, and I really want to be down a few more pounds! I want this to be the first year that I don't feel sick to my stomach thinking about New Years Resolutions.  

On tonight's menu...spaghetti squash mac and cheese.  I'm super excited!

Stay healthy!
