I just wanted to say that I dont think you really need to worry about any of the extra snacking. It seems like you are working out more than you may have in years past and you should take that into consideration. As a runner, I know that I will be more hungry between meals if I have had a hard workout. Have a great time in Asheville! Hi Kath

You might try a little to see if the fruity-ness takes some of the edge off, though. It is a nice summer drink. Kath--wine plus company plus hot weather is a disaster recipe for me with snacking! I find myself snacking a lot more with the hot weather (we don't have AC, so it's constant heat) since I often don't have much of an appetite for a real meal. Lately I'll have a healthy snack if I didn't have a regular meal recently, but I still want to be able to fit into my clothes come fall! The heat messes with my appetite so much! Have a fantastic weekend! Asheville sounds very fun! Laker–I find some sangria to be fairly boozy/winy tasting. You might try a little to see if the fruity-ness takes some of the edge off, though.

I suggest Tupulo...for the sweet potato pancakes!!! Early Girl...for lunch...black bean cakes! Have fun in my favorite mountain town! p.s. A Biltmore wine tasting tour is a must-do!

I have a box that is about to expire and I'm thinking about making a strawberry version of a boston cream pie this weekend. Has anyone tried Dream Whip the whipped topping you make from a box?

If so, what is it like. I'm talking about Sangria that you buy at the store, not homemade. I DO NOT like wine. I have tried all sorts from reds, to whites, to sweet zinfendels... Is Sangria more fruity? We are having a party at the lake and I'd like to partake in an alcoholic beverage to take the edge off. :) I would drink things like wine coolers except for the fact they are loaded in sugar and HFCS (ICK). Plus, they give me a headache because I drink, well used to drink, too many.... Has anyone had Sangria? If so, what is it like. I’m talking about Sangria that you buy at the store, not homemade.

Luckily, my friends are all health and nutrition-conscious like I am, so the healthy snacks are usually more abundant than the unhealthy ones. Finally, your scale is your friend. I'm not a fan of weighing myself every day, but keeping the scale around during the holidays is a good way to keep the over-eating in check. the holidays are definitely to blame for the snacking, I just made it through a 5-day weekend and Canada day pretty much unscathed, but it was hard with all the friends + wine + snacks
