my bowl of noodle

throw in the spices, dried vegetable bits, pour in some boiling water... walla!.. i got my instant bowl of noodles. a very warm noodle soup is my cravings especially in my time of the month... for a reason ?, i don't really know why. i feel good though... any warm soup can fill a growling tummy. i lulled for a long while in having instant noodles primarily because of the downsides in health aspect. most of them have high sodium content that is not at all friendly for kidney, high sodium intake can cause water retention... hmm not good for our figure which is something i have to figure out how to have one! ...btw and contains msg which is an artificial seasoning that i don't like any of my dish to have.

one day, my husband and i went to Big Lots and i saw this Panda Noodle Bowl... tempting! although having a wise choice is under my thumb now so i ignored for a moment but! i read these things!

0g trans fat, 99% fat free, No Msg, 25% less sodium

what else can i ask for!... i had a satiable company of a very warm bowl of noodle the moment we got home.

my hubby brought a gluten free

the other day my husband bought a rice crackers snacks, Roland brand. it has a wasabi flavor which i like... he's not normally conscious about the nutritional value of the snack foods we buy but i was amazed because outside the pack says- gluten free, fat free, cholesterol free and msg free. i never like msg ingredients at all. it has 110 calories per serving and taste good for me so what's not to like!...

one of the past discusions in the View was the gluten free diet especially for those who are trying to conceive and has difficulty in the process, just like elizabeth and... me!, she tried a gluten free diet as what her ob gyn adviced her and yes it worked!... she presently have two kids and the third is on the way.

being a junkie in a small calorie!... not bad ha!

first bite of Eating Right


a block away from home is a local grocery store called vons. the other day i was roaming around isle after isle to find something that i don't really know what! i have this habit of inferring first what my palate is really craving for. ones i know what i crave, that's what i'll grab but i came to realization that i can no longer continue this or else my butt!. no offense to others, but i DON'T like a big butt!... this is what i would first notice when at times i would glance at women. often times i would utter to myself when i see one that "hell no!... i don't want to have that kind of butt".

i have the power to choose and i will. so, i was browsing in the chips area and a certain brand caught my eye! - 'Eating Right' is the brand of the potato chips and the path i am heading! amazing! i read the nutrition facts and compared it with Lays. it has 110 calories per servings which equal to 28 chips. Lays has 230 for around 20 chips. so there i got the Eating Right potato chips then head off to cashier.

i don't have any complain about the taste, i love it in fact but what made me happy eating it ? ... i gnashed a better choice of junk... for the first time!
