Healthy Habits

My oh my, it has been two weeks since I did this link up
with Katie.  Well I have some
good and bad news when it comes to my healthy habits.  The bad news is I gained 5 lbs while on
vacation, the good news is I will be back to my healthy lifestyle stat.  I’m actually surprised that I ONLY gained 5
lbs while I was away.  The amount of
delicious sweets and Grandma’s cooking that I ate was insane.  At least I know that extra 5 lbs was worth
it.  So with that being said I have lost
a total of 15 lbs since I started my healthy lifestyle journey (yes, we are back to
square one).
Right before vacation your lovely host of this link up told
me that I had won a box of Kind bars. 
They came while I was away so I didn’t get to try them until I got back
but I must say they are delicious.
I know what you’re thinking, these are probably just regular
granola/protein bars.  They really aren’t
though.  Surprisingly one actually
satisfied my “in between meals hunger.” 
Let’s just put it out there that, that never happens.  Now, I’m not a really a big dark chocolate fan, and when it comes to chocolate I’m not the typical girl who will pig out on it (I know, I’m very ODD).  I’m more of a gelatin and fruity sweets kind of gal.  I will say this dark chocolate is actually really good.  The fact that dark chocolate is good for you makes it ten times better too!
I decided that before I go back to healthy eating I’m going
to eat as much junk food as I possibly can so I don’t get the urge after I’m
back on the right track.  Although, I
think the most junk food I’ve eaten since being back home was a really cheesey
pizza.  I just really like cheese.  That will NEVER be taken out of my diet.

    I won the same box of bars from Katie's link up too! I am really not a fan of dark chocolate or mocha so I was hugely surprised when I LOVED these bars!! You're totally right, they're the perfect between meals snack or even dessert!!

    I really want to try these bars, I'll have to pick some up this weekend! I'm the same way as you are… totally not a big chocolate fan. So if you like these, then I bet I will too! I linked up with Katie today too about homemade ranch dressing that you might like to try as you get back into your healthy lifestyle!
