A Selection of My Healthy Snacks
Okay, so I’m going to start out this week by ‘fessing up. I gained a few pounds last week when I was at the Mom 2.0 Summit, and I didn’t even do my weigh in this week. How embarrassing. But, the half-marathon is one week away, and I’m excited to accomplish that. Then I can focus more on weight loss.
Last week in the #yourshape challenge, we received a $100 gift card each to shop at Walmart for healthy snacks and fitness supplies. I purchased the snacks/beverages shown in the photo – mostly nuts. I find that they are a great snack IF (and only if) I stick with a small portion. Since we splurged last year on SelectTech weights, I didn’t need free weights, so instead I purchased a step bench. It’s definitely come in handy with the Your Shape game, since that’s one of the options of add-ons.
I did Your Shape three times this week – I did the “get bikini ready” exercise (which kills my abs), the yoga (which is surprisingly difficult yet really fun), and 30 minutes of arm burn. It always amazes me how I get a great workout with this game!
For running, I did my long run (9 miles) on Tuesday, a 5k on Thursday, and will do an 11 miler tomorrow. I had a brief hiatus in running on Thursday and Friday, as I recovered from my skin biopsy.
The half-marathon is next week!! Wish me luck!!
