I'm Thinking Thin...

Thin might not happen, but I'm thinking it. You know...thin waist, thin legs, thin butt. I'll take one of the three right about now. I started walking more with hubby and I'm also trying very hard to eat better. "Trying " is the word.
spaceBelieve it or not the below picture is deceiving...it is so yummy and good for you too!!

These bagels are new from Thomas'. They are thinner and are only 110 calories. A regular bagel can be over 300-400 calories


Instead of butter, I use apple butter. There are only 30 calories in 1 tablespoon and no fat. I remember apple butter as a child when we visited Amish country in Pennsylvania. I could eat this whole jar, but that would defeat the purpose of the "Thin" title.


Give them a try they are delicious...great mid morning or afternoon snack.

Take care,

  6. Oh yes, apple butter is great! Have you ever made it yourself? Pretty easy and so delicious!

    I think thin all the time, but as we all know, it's not the thinking that gets you there! It's the first step though, right?

    Love your white dishes! They remind me of my mother. Her 'good' dishes were all white.

  7. I love apple butter, especially with butter, lol.
    I used to get one that was pure apple and now the store changed the brands. Tough when I find something good that I can eat and they change things.

  11. Do the bagels come in whole wheat as well? That would make it even healthier. I haven't had apple butter in years, but I'm also trying to avoid real butter (have no self-control when it's around ;), so I'll look for it next time I'm shopping. Thanks for the suggestion!

  12. As a girl raised in Ohio, we always had apple butter in the house. I sort of forgot about this wonderful treat. As I'm counting calories too, it would be good to have around. Thanks for the reminder! xo,

  13. Hi, I'm a lifetime weightwatchers member.
    Lately its been a tough go. I have been told that I have high cholestrol and need to cut out all red meat, butter, eggs, cheese.....The list goes on. So I have started back to WW and have now cut out all of the above for the last 3 weeks. You know I don't miss it. Now is apple butter in the same catagory as butter?

  16. I will be on the lookout for Bagel Thins. Apple Butter is so good!

    The daily walk work so well for my hubby & me. We miss it on days when our weather is not cooperating.

  17. I saw the bagel thins at the grocery but I wonder if they come in wheat. I eat a bagel with peanut butter in the morning. I have a huge apple tree in my yard...I wonder if it's hard to make the apple butter? Love your blog, very cute. I am newbie when it comes to blogging, but you inspire me!

  18. They do come in whole wheat, plain and everything (perhaps onion too).

  19. Karen, I have been meaning to tell you that we have adapted your Tool Time Tuesday with my grandson. Tuesday was the day he could come and spend time with his grandpa in the shop after school and learn to use hand tools and the like. We have our own version of TTT. I love4 the dog gate and now we are getting food advice. You are too cool.
