Back in Action

My cake coma finally wore off before bed last night and I slept like a baby.

Mmm, Cake

I only woke up once in the night (in quite the romantic embrace with Sadie), and was ready for a good workout when the alarm went off.

Workout

Ryan and I headed to the gym and I took my typical Monday morning BodyPump class. My gym is launching the latest BodyPump release on Saturday (Yay!), so the instructor selected an easier release for us to do today. It still made me sweat!

I then completed 25 minutes of cardio on the elliptical while listening to the awesome playlist I made for Saturday’s 5k race. (Gotta love Let’s Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez!)

Breakfast

On Friday I received a free sample of a Kashi dark chocolate coconut TLC bar. I was excited to try it for breakfast today and figured it would be pretty good since I like granola bars and Kashi products for the most part.

Greek Yogurt + Kashi Bar

Monday's Breakfast

This bar was really good! The dark chocolate on top of the bar was really rich and creamy. I was thoroughly impressed and would definitely buy these again.

I ate half of the bar before crumbling the other half on top of my Greek yogurt.

It was g-o-o-d.

Do you like granola bars? Any favorite brands?

I really like granola bars a lot. They were a staple in my lunches growing up and my affinity for the chewy (or crunchy!) goodness lives on!

  16. I really love granola bars, but lately I’ve been staying away from them because the long list of crazy ingredients on many boxes really discourages me. I got a ton of Clif and Luna bars for Easter though, so I certainly can’t let those go to waste. 😉

  17. glad the coma wore off. i limke homemade granola bars and luna bars!

  18. Yay to your new BodyPump release. Which one will it be? 73? 73 was released in the UK just about a week ago and that is the one I am currently teaching and will be assessed on – it will make ya sweat, I promise. Great music and an awesome squat track (120 squats – whoohoo! :-))

  19. I finally got my sample too. Looks good. You HAVE to try Prana and Boomi bars. They are soooooooooooo good. Promise!

  20. I love those Dark Chocolate Coconut bars from Kashi but I find they’re so small! I really like the Dark Mocha Almond ones from Kashi cause they’re a bit bigger and give me some energy!
