See how much better at blogging I am when I have a laptop!
Two things:
1 - chose to do the more difficult cardio workout today - one of L's original workouts. Did it first thing this morning and WHEW damn did I feel good getting that done.
And what a fabulous workout. 620 calories burned!
2 - I highly recommend Kellogs Snack Bites. I've tried both the cinnamon and the strawberry flavors. A little high in sugar but wicked-fibre. And they taste great.
Check out the details:
I also want to recommend Pillars Turkey Bites (they are like pepperoni sticks). I slice these up into bite-sized pieces, slice up some low-fat cheese, and stick them with a toothpick - my kids eat them like there is no tomorrow. (I call them pepperoni sticks around my kids...) Each Turkey Bite has only 50 calories. A little high in sodium, but that's what I like... mmmm salt. A decent protein snack, especially when paired with cheese. Add a high fibre cracker to it, and it's a great snack.

I like the tasty combination of apple sauce, chocolate soufflee, and eggplant! Very high in fiber!

My big pregancy snack, to get in some protein, dairy and fruit, was low-fat (well, 2%) cottage cheese (1/2 cup-1 cup depending on how hungry "the baby" was--of course, I wasn't counting calories, so I have no idea what I "should" have been eating) with frozen (thawed) fruit such as mixed berries, pineapple or mango, with 1/4 cup of roasted peanuts or cashews tossed on top. And if I wanted more sweetness, I'd sprinkle a bit of brown sugar over it. Yum!! I want some now, but I'm on vacation!
p.s. Guess who wrote that last comment?

Oh yeah! And I also love edamame beans with cashews ("complete protein")...with a bit of butter and salt.

WOW, I would have to run for almost two hours to burn that many calories! I got that great polar F11 and I LOVE IT. I RAN for 6k or 45 min yesterday and burn a sad 318 cal. that didn't include the 30min bike ride or the 31/2 hrs of landscaping. Maybe I can subtract another 300cal for all that. sheesh.
