Tips Thursday

I'm not counting the days anymore since I'm in it for the long haul.


For Tips Thursday I'm focusin on snacks. I have a variety of healthy snacks like watermelon, apples, pears, grapes, berries, cucumber, celery, greek yogurt and unsweetened tea. My favorite has to be what I call my desk combo.

The desk combo is water, tea, a cup of grapes and "the fruit of the day". I drink about 25-35 oz of water in a work day. One to two cups of green tea unsweetened. The cup of grapes are there for the week. Usually to avoid the candy and chocolate dishes when I walk around the office. So if I walk around and I really want a chocolate I come to my office pop in a couple grapes and the sweet taste kills the craving. The fruit of the day is there for when the grapes just doesn't cut it. It works!

The thing about grapes is there are a lot of varieties and I have been trying more and more of them. Like the cotton candy grapes, sweet surrender, sweet celebration and witch finger grapes. I usually have the less common varieties at home so it taste different then what I eat at work. I usually have 1/2 a cup for sitting at home.

To trying a new type of grape.
