And I' m back!...Back on track that is! Stemming from the disastrous week previous (and the extra pressure of looking my best for the upcoming Mercedes Benz Fashion Week), I was uber motivated to eat well and exercise this week, despite it being busy season at work and added stress over attending grad school next fall. Two pats on the back, this is one for the record books!! And the results you ask?...

Goal Weight: 130lbs
Week 1: 140lbs (Starting Point)
Week 2: 138lbs
Week 3: 137lbs

This week, I want to share with you another one of my "meal-ious snacks" (definition: a snack that feels like a meal but contains an appropriate snack-level calorie count) that helped me in my weight loss goal this week was a semi-homemade invention I liked to call the Tuna Sandwich Snacker. Using the Alexia Foccacia bread (sent to me by Foodbuzz) and the Tonnino Oregano Tuna (sent to me by Tonnino), I made a super simple to make snack-sized sandwich that tasted like another lunch! And the best part? Only 200 calories per sandwich -- now that's something I can chew on (and swallow)!

My favorite is tuna and crackers. It was always a treat when I was growing up and I still love it. Take some saltines, put a layer of mayonnaise on each, and top with tuna. Delicious! It does, however, have the unfortunate side effect of attracting an attentive audience of cats.
I love a good tuna fish sandwich with slices of bread & butter pickles on top. dwelchert@yahoo.com

I love a good tuna melt I use chipotle mayo(made from olive oil mayo) mixed in with my tuna I like aflavorful aged cheddar and a crust sour dough bread. My husband likes his tuna on a salad--carbs aren't his friends so he can't have bread. I usually use an organic baby spinach (from trader joes)dress the spinach with a spicy Italian dressing then add a sliced hard boiled egg, some avocado, a little blue cheese then drain the tuna and place it on top ---he loves it.

I LIKE A TUNA HOAGIE OR A TUNA SALAD SANDWICH
I love tuna tossed in a pasta salad.
Tuna is one of my favorite foods because it's so good and it's very convenient to eat straight from the jar or with rice or as a sandwich. I love to eat tuna with a fresh salad. The tuna give the salad a lot of flavor so that I don't even need to use dressing.
