July Goals

Okay, weekly goals are too much for me. Not to do, but to keep track of because man, where did last week go?
I’m now on a MONTHLY track:
Goals for July:
Lose 10 pounds
Write short story
Full proposal.
I’m on track, so far. Had a good breakfast (Love those smoothies) & 30 min walk to start the day off. YAY!
Now I’m sitting down with a healthy snack. (apple and slice of cheddar cheese) to write.
I think my biggest challenges in the health department are going to be only allowing myself one sweetened drink a day. (It can be a glass of pop or a coffee with vanilla creamer) and finding healthy snacks.
I do okay with meals, but snacks are harder for me. I get bored of apples and fruit and veggies. So if anyone out there has suggestions for healthy snacks, lay’em on me!
Current list of enjoyed snacks goes like this…..
Apples are probably my favorite. They’re good with cheese and peanut butter, and even by themself. I love Graham Crackers and Peanut butter, but I need to limit them as they’re not that great -depending on what else I eat during the day. Peanut butter and celery has been mentioned but I’ve never been able to get into that. Bananas and vanilla yogurt (or chocolate pudding) are good too. Also, microwave popcorn LOVE IT. Good with butter and salt, or hot sauce.for health reasons I try to use hot sauce and keep the butter and salt as a treat for movies and such.
I also really love pistachios and chocolate covered pretzels, but I’m not allowing myself to have them because once I start on those I have a hard time stopping.:oops:
So…any suggestions? What’s your favorite snack, healthy or unhealthy/
