Happy Hump Day Everyone! Hope you’re having a great week. I’m keeping to my New Year’s Goals and we’re moving right along to my 3rd installment of Favorite Things this year!
- Corn Flakes
I’ve been wishing & hoping for a light cereal that doesn’t feel like I’m gnawing on fiber & cardboard with this Engine 2 Challenge. I finally found one that was allowed on the Engine 2 Diet and it’s these light and flaky cornflakes that are sweetened with fruit juice and have no oils. They remind me of eating fruity or cocoa pebbles with their airiness. I have to be careful not to make them an entire meal though because they are not full of protein or fiber like the other Engine 2 cereals out there.
- Hemp Hearts
The other night at the Engine 2 Meet-up, Mary Lindsey passed out samples of Hemp Hearts. I’ve never had Hemp Hearts before, but I know Mary Lindsey loves them and puts them on a lot of stuff. To improve the nutrition of the Corn Flake cereal and provide more fiber & protein, I tossed the packet of hemp hearts with the cereal and it’s been great! I’m going to buy a bag of these to start adding to lots of stuff for an extra punch of nutrition. I look forward to seeing what it tastes like on my Ezekial Bread Toast in the mornings.
- Coconut Water
This past week, I’ve been working out a lot more than I had been the past few weeks. I’m actually feeling sore and straining my muscles to fatigue. I love this feeling of accomplishment, especially after so much knee pain – I’m feeling stronger and I actually ran a 1/4 mile last night on the treadmill. The other day after an intense leg work out, my muscles were cramping a little so I threw in some coconut water to my smoothie. I love the benefits of coconut water, it has so much more potassium than bananas so it helped my cramping really well that night. I was afraid I’d wake up with Charlie Horses throughout the night, but that didn’t happen!
- Mississippi Women Bloggers Community
I’m so thankful for this wonderful community and I look forward to everything we have planned for the future! I enjoyed our first meet-up and meeting some other MS bloggers was exactly what I needed. We’re planning a “work day” to all focus on our blogs and help each other improve. It’s going to be great!
- Nick’s Sister-In-Law & Nephew in Town!!!!!
This is probably my favorite thing in the world right now! Nick’s brother is also in town, but because of work, I doubt I’ll get to see him. Today after work, I’ll be meeting Kathryn & Cade for a walk and then tomorrow we’re having lunch at Whole Foods together! I am just so excited to see them and see sweet baby Cade. Just from pictures I’ve seen, he’s already grown up so much! These next two days are going to be amazing!!
- Whole Foods Market Jackson One-Year Anniversary
It’s not surprise that I love love love Whole Foods and I was so excited when they arrived to Jackson, MS. Today is their One Year Anniversary of being here and I’m excited to stop by over lunch to see what all they have going on. I’m sure there will be samples & demonstrations, plus I’ll probably grab a little snack while I’m there. I’ve highlighted some of my favorite posts from there over the past year!
