1 1/2 cups seedless red grapes, halved
1 cup thin diagonally cut celery
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain. Cool completely.

Hi Everyone,
Today is June 1st. Let's give ourselves a fresh start. It is a new month and we can restart our weight loss journey! I am personally going to try to work out more and drink the water. I might not count points religiously. I want and need to lose weight. I have to try a new approach. Try setting some goals for yourself.
