Luna Protein Bar is…


ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!

I saw these bars in the grocery store the other day, and since I’m already a Luna Bar fan, I thought I’d try them…

Chocolate Cherry Almond

Cookie Dough

and oh my goodness I’m so glad I did! Now I promise I didn’t eat both of these in one day. :) I split ‘em up over a couple of days.

The taste and texture reminded of me a box of Valentine’s Chocolates. Yes, they are THAT good. I hear there’s a peanut butter one, I have to find it!

Anyone else try these yet? Thoughts?

Zensah! Zensah! Zensah!


So half-marathon training has been going great, definitely a little chilly at times, but otherwise great. I’ve really enjoyed training for this race with my husband, it great quality time together.

On Saturday we went for a 5 mile run. It was chilly out in the AM, but I knew it would get warmer as we ran and the morning warmed up. So instead of layering up, I decided to wear my zensah arm sleeves.

The arm sleeves definitely kept my arms warm, especially my elbows. The other day we went for a run, it was chilly out and I wore a t-shirt and my elbows actually hurt. So the arm sleeves really helped on saturday.

from Zensah’s website: “The most comfortable arm sleeve you will ever wear. The Zensah arm sleeve is unique in that it is the only arm sleeve which uses a special knitting process creating an arm sleeve which is ergonomic. The Zensah arm sleeve is the only arm sleeve which is anti-bacterial and ALL WEATHER GEAR making it great for us indoors in basketball or outdoors while cycling.”

My one and only complaint with them {which is really my fault} is they slide down, but I think its my fault because I ordered an “L/XL” size. I thought that’s what I’d wear. I should have gotten a smaller size…. and in PINK! ;) So other than that, they’re great!

Annnnnd there’s only a few more months until the Rock ‘n Roll series half-marathon in Nashville! SUPER excited! :) Anyone else doing that one?

Does this cruise make me look fat?


the answer is…

No.

Hubs and I just got back from our cruise the Monday before last,

and I was very happy to find that I didn’t gain weight, I actually lost weight.

My secret?

Didn’t over eat and I took the stairs every day.  It’s definitely possible to go on a cruise and not pack on the pounds. BUT it’s very easy for it to happen too…

the thing is, there’s FOOD everywhere, and not just everywhere, there’s a pizza bar and sandwich bar open 24/7, pretty scary if you’re trying to stay away from all those extra calories. But with the right mindset and determination you can overcome the evil food temptations! And of course, keep MOVING! It also helps if you have motion sickness from the ship.

So my friends, go take a vacation and happy cruising!
