A Cherry-ific Day!
July 30, 2007
My day started and ended with the best cherries today. I got the biggest, plumpest, most delectable cherries ever! They are to die for! The funny thing is the only reason I bought them was to try out the Cherry Pitter the husband got me for my birthday.
Let me tell you that cherry pitter is awesome! Normally, I sit there forever cutting them in half and popping out the seeds. I have to pit them for the toddler and normally I can’t keep up with the little guy. He eats one and says “more mamma… more”. It’s super cute. Well this morning I took the lead on cherry pitting and I was finished before he was.
This evening I was craving something sweet, chocolaty and filling. I was a bit hungry, so instead of just having a sugar free pudding I decided to dump it over a bowl of cherries (now that they are pitted this was easy). It was an awesome sweet treat for 2 points. If you remember, I also enjoy dipping fresh strawberries in pudding too. It’s my light version of chocolate covered berries and my cure for the chocolate fix that is super low calories.
Day 3 back on track and I’m feeling good. I’m actually looking forward to weigh in on Wednesday even though I know I will be up. I feel like I’m back in the Weight Watchers groove coming up with new recipes and snack ideas. This is exactly what I needed to do to counteract my crazy summer and small weight gains.
