So do I, but I was shocked to find out that the
“Chipotle Chicken on Artisan French Bread Panini Sandwich”
has 1030 Calories and 55 Grams of fat!!
This sandwich has more calories than a Big Mac!

Always check the calorie and fat content at calorieking.com

Yes I snack, I snack all the time; but I don’t eat Doritos, Cheetos, Fritos, donuts, cookies, or candy!

When I snack, I snack on things that taste good and are good for you!

One food I snack on all the time are Almonds, especially if you mix them with dried cherries!
That’s some good snacking!! Try Almonds and dried cherries separate or mixed together!

“Nature Valley” granola bars are very good as well, peanut butter is my favorite, sometimes I put a little extra peanut butter on top, fills me up a little bit more.

Clif Bars are another favorite bar of mine. I usually eat one before I run or before I head up to the gym. Gives you the energy kick you need to get through your workout.

This next snack I usually eat at Breakfast time, but I also have been known to wolf one down at night too. I grab a whole wheat waffle, toast it and then spread some Peanut Butter on top (I guess you can tell I like peanut butter.)

Now after dinner instead of eating that big bowl of fattening ice cream, I grab a bowl put some vanilla or strawberry low fat yogurt with a cut up banana and some pecans or walnuts pieces! Yuuuuuuummmmmy! Try it!

So those are just a couple of examples of what I snack on.

Hopefully somebody out there will find these good alternatives instead of snacking on junk food, and if you do try them; e-mail me and let me know what you think!

I can’t believe I just found out about this site a couple of days ago.
Livestrong.com has a lot of great information on health, fitness, diet & nutrition.
Definitely a site you want to check out!

I am following the workout from the book “The Complete Book of Abs”

Day One and Two
Hip Raises: 20 reps
Bent-Leg Hip Raises: 25 reps
Modified Side Jackknives: 20 reps
Crossovers: 25 reps
Crunches: Bent Knee: 25 reps
Crunches: Frog Legs: 25 reps

Rest 25 secs in between.

Day Three and Four
Hip Raises: 25 reps
Bent-Leg Hip Raises: 25 reps
Modified Side Jackknives: 25 reps
Crossovers: 25 reps
Crunches: Bent Knee: 25 reps

Rest 20 secs in between.

If you don’t know what some of these exercises are you can always google them for an explanation.

When we get the munchies, especially after dinner instead of reaching for the Ice-cream or chips we make smoothies! They are fast and easy with the Bullet and easy to clean up.

The favorite at my house is the Strawberry-Banana Smoothie.

3 Ice Cubes
1/2 cup non-fat Milk
1/2 cup Orange Juice
1 Small Banana
3 frozen or regular Strawberries
2 Tablespoons of Vanilla Yogurt
(Optional) One scoop of Vanilla Whey Protein

Good thing about smoothies is they are good for you, taste great (kids love em) and they fill
you up!

So next time you are a little hungry, don’t reach for the Ice cream or chips …Make a smoothie, and if you do let me know what you think!
