- Distance: 2.2 miles
- Minutes/mile: 19.5
Nice, easy walk today. We did the "long" walk, even though I wished I had gone to the bathroom before we even got .25 mile from our house. It didn't become too much of an issue.
We went to a cookout earlier and did ok with all the food that was there. I took mushrooms to grill and a cucumber, tomato and feta salad and watermelon, also had some corn on the cob, 2 deviled eggs, pasta salad and icecream cake. I still need to write it all down, but it comes to about 14 points. Not bad.
Mike has been wanting some crispy (but healthy) snack food so we went in search of some today at trader joes. Someone from his office had told him about some healthy crackers they sell. We didn't find the crackers, but I did find some BBQ Soy Crisps. I read about them on MSN not too long ago as a healthy alternative to chips. They have 110 calories per serving with little fat and some fiber (I think). The best thing is that they have 8 grams of protein per serving. We bought them and tried them today and they are pretty tasty. They are thin, but have the consistency of rice cakes. The BBQ flavor was great, though I could detect a slight soy flavor lingering beneath the BBQ. If you are in search for a healthy chip alternative, give them a try. They also had a white cheddar version, but I didn't check the calories on them. They will be a great side when I go on my summer sandwich fling (sure to happen soon).
