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:

Yummmmmers!! Cherry pretzel, koka moka, and the delish sounding pistashio number, por favor! Also, I can't help but notice you went on a six mile run today--you are officially on my 'list' of potential running buddies for the Charlotte halfie in November. As you said yesterday, we would have so much fun running together--just think about it!!! Thanks for the Frankser, you know that brings joy to my heart.
I would love love love to try cherry, banana, and koka! I haven't tried ProBars yet and really want to!
Koka Moka sounds like my cup of tea. I've been eyeing these babies at Central Market but have yet to splurge on one!
Awww check out that cute puppy :-)

Sounds like such a great productive day! I heart Frank!

Cherry Pretzel, Cocoa Pistachio, nutty banana boom!!
Cherry Pretzel since it would replace my chubby hubby cravings!!
Love runs like that. It's so much easier to go out intending to go "a few miles" and then decide later to go further once you are actually out there and running!
I would totally chow the Cherry Pretzel, Nutty Banana Boom or the Koka Moka.
I would love to try the cherry pretzel! Interesting flavor combo!
Sounds like a good day! What a cute pooch!
Um... cherry, cocoa pistachio, sesame goji :)
I LOVE canteloupe and nut butter! SO not weird :) Atleast I don't think so haha

Ooh! I'd love to try the cherry pretzel--it sounds like such a unique flavor!
Cocoa Pistachio, Sesame Goji and Koka! Pistachio and cocoa are the most intriguing though. I like both flavors but have never married the two.

Those sound very good! I think I'd want to try cherry pretzel, koka moka, and sesame goji ; )
Guess what? It's Friday!! : )
Hmmm. Sesame Goji sounds weird and interesting. And I have a confession - that whole cantaloupe I told you bought, uh, a week ago?? I never cracked it open. See! What I tell ya! Laziness = food loss.
Hey there,
I'd love to try nutty banana, cocoa pistachio, and koka moka! Have a fabulous Friday!

I'm honestly in LOVE with Frank. I showed Garrett a pciture of him and I think I am a little closer to convinsing him to get one!
The pro bars look awesome - too pricey for me to buy normally though. I would try to Cocoa, Cherry and Banana.
The nutty banana boom sounds like an amazing flavor. I would love to try it.
I really like that idea with the oatmeal cookies and milk! I will have to try that some time.
I would love to try the cherry pretzel, nutty banana boom and koka moka!

Not sure if the contest is open to us Canucks, but I'd love to try the cocoa pistachio, nutty banana boom and koka moka! ;)
That cantaloupe is looking pretty juicy and sweet!!!
