2 New Product Review Ratings

Organic Honey Stinger Pomegranate Passion chews is a new product flavor that I tried and loved!

These are NOT just for runners, I used this prior to a cardio session and I didn't feel too full to really blast out a great workout.

Info:
Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews are unique as they are the first to include naturally occurring fiber and protein derived from 100% Organic tapioca syrup and honey. Made with USDA certified Organic ingredients. Gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO ingredients. 0g Trans Fats and no partially hydrogenated oils. 100% RDA Vitamin C along with 1g protein and 1g fiber per package. 50g per pack, I ate the whole pack......and felt satisfied.

Cals = 160
Sodium = 80mg
Carbs = 39g
Protein = 1g

I paid $1.95 but I got these at a running store. I think you could beat that price if you shopped around. Easy to pack in a travel or gym bag, and they feel like a candy treat they are that good!

Yum, I rate these a 10.

Cream of Wheat New Healthy grain

If you like cream of wheat, or rolled oats you will love this. If not, you may not enjoy the "natural" taste and feeling of this new product.

The only difference was the grainy feel, and a bit less of the natural sweetness was it worth the health benefits YES. We need grains in our diet, so if your not a big fan of oatmeal this could be one you might enjoy. (also if anyone has cooked pancakes or muffins with this new one let me know your results)

Also this comes in Healthy Grain brown sugar too but I did not have that. I was sent a free sample pack, and am NOT getting paid or compensated to review this/these products.

Regular vs Healthy Grain originals:
per packet
Cals 100 vs 150
Fat 0 vs 1g
Carbs 19g vs 30g
Sugar 0 vs 0
Protein 3g vs 7g

I would buy this again, and rate this a 9 for the protein value.

My toe is getting better from the sand flea bite, the swelling is going down but the itching is still there. I got bit last Thursday and it brought me to my knees it stung that bad, ouch!

When I taught step class on Monday my foot sweated and iched like crazy, so I have only done barefoot stretching and yoga this week.

I will blog more about vacation, who I met and all the other pictures/videos next week when I am caught up.

Do you ever feel like you need a vacation from your vacation???
Or is it just ME?

HAWT Curtis Stone, BL final 4!

OMG....come cook for me Curtis! I had NO idea who this guy was till I googled him, hes HAWT! (I don't have cable and I don't really watch much tv and most chefs are kinda chunky)

I was so happy to see BL last night, I was on vacation last week and missed the make-over week boo hoo!

Thats when I am sure Daris got a BIG transformation since his hair was bigger then mine in the 80's! He looks so great now, and I am proud of who he is becoming as a man. You know not a boy, and his mom is so thrilled he is saving his life.

Wow, the stats on Michael from the doctor was amazing on how his percentage dropped on taking care of his heart! Just goes to show what you can do when you really want to.

If you saw it last night and have thoughts let me know, here is my take on it.

Ps, I am kinda glad that maybe now Sunshine will be able to stop crying all the time. I really like her, but still did anyone else notice that? And how HAWT is Ashley getting? I am glad she is the female in the final 4.

Still waiting for the sand flea sting to go down, so I can really workout. Pulled the stinger out on Sunday when I could finally see it from the swelling (got stung on Thursday) and have been putting pure aloe and neosporeon on it to heal since thats what the internet said to do.

Darn thing knocked me to my knees on the beach...ouch!

Note to self: Don't let sand fleas bite you

I'm Baaaaack From Laguna Beach Vacation

What a wonderful quaint hotel located in Orange county California Laguna Beach (more on this later)


Here are some more pictures of the hotel top balcony






Backside of hotel facing the beach, the curved steps take you up to the hotel.

Sunset from the top balcony

We went to a few places to eat, and had a room with a kitchen so we bought goodies to eat.

Don't worry I saved my calories for desserts like a good trainer lol

The fruit was so sweet!

This was half a burrito we shared for just $10 it had lots of veggies, chicken and shrimp delish!

With lots and lots of walking too.


Had a fabulous sub sandwich..yum!


It was so delish I could not wait to eat it!

Found a gym across the street and worked out with the owner Treva at Core Movement Studio (more on this later)
I did 3 workout classes, a spin class, yoga and strength training. She RAWKS!


Did a spin class with this model here he is with his ad...enjoy this eye candy ;-)


Blue daisie centers





So its back to reality, and to work today leaving 80 degrees and sunny with a sun burn to cold and blah boo hoo!

Btw, I came home weighing less then when I left and tried to get in as many veggies and fish as possible. I will list my food and workouts this week when I get caught up.
