Healthy Fast Food?

I have to tell you my new favorite drink since while the past month I seriously fell off the wagon by starting to drink sodas again. I have been trying to wean myself from drinking soda again, but I did still drink water but of course you know my water struggles but I have been doing way better than before. Anyhow the new favorite drink is the Aqua Frescas Hibiscus drink for 8oz it is 100 calories and in my book for something that taste great to me at those calories is so worth it. Now I have to admit I get a little out of control with the amount I drink sometimes I do drink 16oz at a sitting. I have been working on only drinking some at dinner and now I am trying to work on just drinking 8oz when I take it out the fridge. I can’t even explain why I love that drink so much. LOL. I have also bought myself some wild berry zinger tea from celestial tea; I can’t master it with no sugar. I have been bad and I put a teaspoon of sugar in it and what I really need to do is put half a pack of the truvia in it instead.

I also was introduced a few months back with a place here in my area called MyFit Foods. Now mind you I have had the menu on my desk for a while but ventured to the location the other day. I bought a few items and I have to say it is expensive if you tried to eat there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They basically have food in a fridge that is already cooked, portioned and calorie counted for you all you have to do is heat it up. This is I guess a healthy version of fast food. The food ranges from $6-$9 I believe I think the large sizes range a bit more not sure. I will have to get back to you on that.  They do sizes, small (recommended for women), medium (recommended for men), large (recommended for the very active person). The highly active people burn more calories so need more calories to fuel their body.

I bought three things on Sunday (6/17) to have for dinner this week and it was like $22 (one of the items I got half price because it was best eaten by 6/18). I mean in the grand scheme of things if you ate out for dinner or even lunch for 3 days in a row it probably would have been more than $22 but as a single mom this is not a feasible option for me to help with my weight loss journey to do all the time. I will have it as a saving grace though so when I don’t have the right kind of lunch or that dinner will won’t be a good option like McDonald’s because I got off late and not in the mood to cook and do homework. I can run there and get a meal for lunch or dinner. I rather spend my $6 or $7 there than eating the processed hamburger and fries at my job cafeteria (which that meat isn’t even real meat).  The meal I had last night was called better beef; it was 2 slices of beef tenderloin, broccoli and bean sprouts for 240 calories. I have to say it did taste good, the meat could be more seasoned and all that jazz but it wasn’t cardboard tasting.

My daughter is gone to her dad’s for six weeks and I wonder if I can get myself down another 5-8lbs before her return. Well first I have already screwed up on Monday I had such a terrible headache when I got off my brain malfunctioned and I stopped at McDonalds and got chocolate chip cookies. The headache did not cease so of course I did NO workout what so ever. I did actually go to MFP and tracked what I ate for the day and overall it wasn’t too terrible minus the damn cookies!!
