Weight Loss Wednesday-Week 2

Well here we are at week 2 of my 12 week weighloss kick start, it was a great week. I love tracking my food and exercise on myfitnesspal app, it encourages me instead of discourages me for some reason. Honestly, I didn’t exercise at all last week but…I lost 3 pounds! I was doing the happy dance when I weighed in yesterday.

I attribute part of my success to my new favorite snack ZonePerfect bars. I had seen ZonePerfect bars before Type-A Parent Conference but I had never tried them. I had tried several other brands of “healthy bars” over the years and while they may be healthy they weren’t satisfying and tasty. ZonePerfect was a sponsor of the conference and we received a bar in our swag bag. Needing a snack before dinner that first day, I gave it a try and it was delicious! I think that first bar was the peanut butter cookie dough…yum! During the course of the conference ZonePerfect had a booth in the expo hall and you could wander in and get a bar when you needed a snack…very convenient. During the course of the conference they held occasional Twitter giveaways and I was lucky enough to win one of them so I got a cookie jar filled with bars!

When I decided to begin this weight loss journey, I knew I had to have my treats to stay on the right path and ZonePerfect is my afternoon treat. It has enough chocolate to satisfy my sweet tooth without ruining my eating plan. My favorite bar so far is the chocolate chip cookie dough which is 180 calories of sweet, gooey, protein, vitamin, mineral and antioxident packed heaven. Some of my other favorites are the chocolate caramel cluster and peanut butter and the fudge graham and there are many more flavors I have yet to try.

If you are looking for a healthy snack I suggest you try a ZonePerfect bar.
