1) Benefiber packets.
After I shower and let the dogs out, I mess around on the computer and drink my coffee until I absolutely have to start getting dressed. I put fat free powdered french vanilla coffee mate and splenda in my coffee every morning.
Deeelicious and only 25 calories for 2 tablespoons!
I keep hearing horrible things about Splenda, but I LOVE it
And a few months ago I discovered these little babies...
I swear you can't taste it AT ALL
Benefiber, I adore you. I take several medicines that tend to make me, uh, stopped up, but traveling around with a plastic baggy of white powder might give some people the wrong idea. Honestly, I would probably jumb to some kind of conclusion if I saw that in someone's purse. But, I put these portioned packets in my coffee, and I mix them in bottled water(it has no taste, but I usually mix in a crystal light packet too). Amazing. There are benefiber packets in the side pockets of all of my purses.
2)My Mary Engelbreit desktop calendar.
I have gotten the Mary Engelbreit desktop calendar for Christmas for the past 4 years. Mary Engelbreit is such a talented artist, and I love that the calendar has lots of space to write on each day, and every week has a different picture and quote (I also looove quotes--I have four notebooks full of quotes.)
The calendar has plenty of writing space, but it is also small enough to stick in my purse!
3)VitaTops
Possibly my best snack discovery ever! Vitalicious VitaTops have no preservatives, 6 grams of fiber, and only 100 calories. One of my favorite things about Vitatops is that you store them in the freezer, and you have to take one out and let it thaw for about 2 hours before you eat it(I mean you could probably microwave it, but whatever), so it's ready to eat right around the time I need a morning or afternoon snack. AND, after I eat one, I can't decide that I want to binge eat the entire package because they are frozen. They are perfect for anyone who has trouble stopping at just one (ME!).
Deep chocolate, my favorite! Mmmm
The deep chocolate flavor is super chocolatey and has lots of chocolate chips (and is surprisingly big and filling for only 100 calories!). I also like the banana nut flavor, and I am anxious to try the fudgy peanut butter chip and triple chocolate chunk flavors...now I just have to find them at the grocery store!
4)Physique 57
Ok...this is something that I would like to do every day! I absolutely love this workout. Physique 57 has 3 DVD's: 57 minute full-body workout, an express 30 minute workout, and a thirty minute ab and arm booster. The combination of ballet, free weights, and mat work is challenging but doable, and it's an awesome way to start the day.
Kelly Ripa supposedly does Physique 57, and she has an amazing body. I have noticed a difference in my arms, legs, and abs after a few workouts. I can do more push-ups and even a few pull-ups. Sooo, now that I've bragged about the dvd's, I need to start doing them regularly so that I'm all ready for the beach this summer! Updates to come...
5)Lash-blast Mascara
I usually wear mascara even when I don't wear any other make-up. Honestly my blonde eyelashes disappear, and I look like I'm 15 without any mascara. (I got carded buying lottery tickets last weekend--I didn't even know they did that!) I absolutely hate mascara that clumps, and I do not like having to wipe off the brush. I like to try the latest beauty products at the drugstore, but I am hooked on Covergirl's lash blast mascara.
When it goes on sale, I stock up on the fat orange wands. I've been using it for at least a year, and I am still raving about it.
6)Fiber One bars
Another one of my favorite snacks that helps get me through the day (I'm working on eating less candy at work, so I try to be prepared). I personally think that these taste even better than candy bars. My favorites are Oats&Chocolate and Oats&Peanut Butter...
They just started making 90 calorie Fiber One bars. I don't think that they're quite as good or as filling, but they aren't bad.
7)Flats
I have always been a wedge/platform/heals girl. I am actually kind of known for wearing heals to work, but right now I am running around all day at work, so I have a new found love for flats. (Honestly, I'd rather be barefoot, but unfortunately that is frowned upon. And I haven't exactly had time for a pedicure.) So I am embracing flats. These are just a few that I love--even if they are currently out of my budget!
...the last one could be perfect with a wedding dress, maybe...?
8)Our dogs.
They drive us crazy. The are spoiled rotten. And we love them.
Kali
Miloh
And walking them is like free therapy.
9)My blackberry
I love my phone. And I have had several phones in the last year (including an iphone). I am on this phone all day. I gchat. I bbm. I text. I e-mail. I twitter. I listen to Pandora on it at the gym. It's light AND durable (I'm not advocating throwing it at anything or anyONE), but things tend to "jump" out of my hands (or fall out of my car). They say the first step to recovery is admitting your addiction. My name is Jessie, and I am a crackberry head.
AND it's purple. Sigh.
I'm confident that my little purple appendage can do even more. I'm still discovering all that it can do :) I'll keep you all updated...
10) Adam
...who I talk to on my purple blackberry alllll day :) and can't wait to get home to in the evenings.
So handsome.
