ProBar Giveaway, Random Din Dins Filed under ( Dessert, Healthy, product review, Vegetables )

Hi there ;) How are all of you doing? I hope you had a good day- tomorrow is FRIDAY!! I woke up a little sore this morning in the belly region from Body Combat yesterday. I was actually excited about this because I feel like I haven’t had that good sore after workout feeling in a long time!!

I only had to work a half day today (due to all my OT last weekend), so I started my day off with a nice 6 mile run. I went out with the intention of a few miles, but my legs felt nice and loose so I decided to just keep on running! I put in my four hours of work and then got started on my house work. I cleaned the house from top to bottom and did some laundry/ironing. Other than that, my afternoon was pretty relaxing.

I received another awesome package of ProBar samples (thank you so much ProBar!!!!!):

Our favorite bar so far is the Cherry Pretzel:

To spread the love a bit, I will be giving away three of these bars to one reader (your choice of flavors-Cherry Pretzel, Nutty Banana Boom, Cocoa Pistachio, Sesame Goji, Koka Moka)! To enter, just leave a comment telling me which three flavors you want. Contest ends at 12 pm on 8/14. I will announce the winner tomorrow night!!

Josh was playing basketball tonight so both he and I ended up eating nibbles here and there. The main highlights are as follows-

I had jicama rounds (I’ve decided to call them rounds because I like to make them a little fatter than chips) with salsa and pinto beans:

I also had some cantaloupe (fruit baby) with nut butter (odd combo, I know!):

I made Josh some baked bread nibbles. I toasted up bread and then topped them with various mixtures of beef lunch meat, hummus, cheese, spinach, etc. He also had a side of pineapple & pickles:

And homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (which are in a bowl because he loves to pour milk on top ;)):

A few of you asked me about the slimcado. The slimcado is not something I made up ;) You can read more about it here. Basically it is a lighter version of an avocado with less calories and fat. It tastes very similar to an avocado, but almost tastes watered down. Although I’ve enjoyed it, I think I’m going to stick with regular avocados. If you do end up trying one, let me know what you think! According to the Brooks website, ½ a slimcado has 145 calories and 10.5 g of fat.

And...just for fun...the Frankster, relaxing after a walk:
