It’s been a busy week. During the month of August my house sometimes can seem like a B&B with me being the housekeeper, chef and social director! Now don’t get me wrong — I LOVE when friends or family visit, but is sometimes hard to stick to one’s normal schedule of work (since I work from home) and meals (some guests really enjoy trying new restaurants!) I’m pretty good at sticking to my yoga schedule, since anyone who visits knows that it is non negotiable. (Yes Mom – I’m talking to you!) As I always tell my clients, it doesn’t really matter if temporarily you veer off course – what matters is how quickly you can get back on!!!
This week in The Keri Report:
* Keri’s Product Pick: Simply 7 Veggie Chips
* 5 Things Nutritionists Do Every Weekend
* DIVAlicious Interview On My Philosopy

Keri’s Product Pick: Simply 7 Veggie Chips
Confession: I love salty snacks. I also love a snack that I can dip in hummus or guacamole. Enter……Simply 7 Veggie Chips. Trust me they are still chips and you definitely can’t eat an entire bag. But they only have 200mg of sodium (amazing for a chip) and 6 grams total fat (with only .5g coming from saturated). When you STICK to the serving size (1 ounce or 1/4 of the entire bag) you will of eaten 130 calories. This leaves room to add a little protein or healthy fat (as mentioned above) to your snack meal. Honestly I am not recommending this product because it is organic, but rather that it tastes really good and I feel good about eating it. Thank you Simply 7 for sending me samples!
