The thing about all these foods is that companies have to keep coming up with new things in order to make money; and our food industry is amazing in the sense that we have the safest, most abundant food supply on the planet. BUT it makes us fat. We have to avoid all these foods that are being produced like the energy bars, etc, which would be amazing if we needed to survive in the wilderness or something. but we have to fight every day to keep caloric intake low, in order not to get fat, and if we eat ANY of these processed things we get a big load of calories without feeling full. I’m sure basically anything that you’re asked to review is going to be something that we should generally avoid.

I bet it felt good to get out there and run again. I want to work up to a 5k. I think it would be a great reward to myself to run one. I am slowly getting back into the swing of running. The other day I did intervals on the treadmill. It was great. I went between walking, walking w/ incline and running. A 45 minute workout had 17-20 minutes of running. That is a lot for me.

I’m a big fan of the Kind bars….all natural nuts and fruit. They are “pointy” at 4 pts., but I’m full all morning, especially if I pair them with some Babybel light cheeses. LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog.

I agree I wish they would make health food that was acctually healthy! Especially when it comes to food for kids. You are such and inspiration to me with your running. I’ll be doing my 1st 1/2 marathon in September!

I love those Fiber Bars for traveling because they pack so well, but they are just so loaded with CRAP! I’ve seen lots of good recipes for homemade bar type items lately, maybe I will try my hand at making my own soon!

yeah those fiber one bars do NOT agree with me, something more natural is definitely better!

Goals always keep me on track. I’d be letting myself go if not for my goals. Oh, and I try not to eat food with a lot of hard-to-pronounce ingredients.

Oh, those Fiber One bars are very tasty, but I’ve nicknamed them “gas bars.”

re yummy and full of ingred’s we can pronounce, i was thinking about making some of chocolate covered katie’s “babies” series in bar form and throwing some oatmeal in them… they would be high calories and fat though because she makes them with coconut butter i think. and dates. but it’s a good starting point and as is, look fab! i might get to it next week or the week after maybe, if i find a good balance of yum and lowing the cals’ a teensy bit i’ll let ya know :)

Will you please post your half marathon trianing schedule?? I’m doing one in early May and I am curious as to what others do that are training. This will be my first half that I RUN (I’ve walked this same race before).
