Naked Bar Review #nextlevelnaked

Naked Bar Review #nextlevelnaked

I have long been on the search for a convenient, easy to carry, easy to prepare, protein source. I think I've tried every protein powder out there. I finally realized that I'm not a fan of drinking my calories (unless it's beer LOL). There were plenty of decent options, I just never reached for them. So, I've been trying other protein sources - I need easy to carry with me, no refrigeration required, and it has to taste good. So, when I was offered the chance to try the new Naked Bars, I jumped at it. Naked bars are nut based, gluten free bars with added whey for additional protein. They currently come in two flavors: peanut butter (which is peanut based, as you might expect) and chocolate (which is almond based.) Neither has any … [Read more...]

Confessions of an Evening Snacker

Confessions of an Evening Snacker

I admit it: I'm a snacker.  I always have been.  Regardless of how much exercise I'm doing or what my weight is, I feel better when I'm eating every few hours.  I've tried to stop it in the past, but it seems there is not enough protein and healthy fat in the world for me to make it more than 4 hours without eating.  Longer than that and I become crabby and unreasonable.  (There are lots of stories amongst our friends about times I've lost my sh%^ because I was hungry. 10+ years later I still get teased about a night in college where I nearly came to blows with a friend over where we were going to dinner.) So, I'm not trying to get rid of small, frequent meals.  What I'm talking about here is the constant *need* to eat that I get in the … [Read more...]

TTT: minimalist running, protein, and bathroom humor

April 14, 2011 by MCM Mama 14 Comments

1.  Today was the first day since I began running exclusively in Vibrams that I woke up and my calves felt normal.  I ran 4 miles yesterday and my legs don't hurt!  Woot!  I received the bigger size Merrells in the mail this week, so I hope to get some miles in with those soon too.  And just for the record, wet Vibrams smell like a nasty combination of feet and wet dog.  I'll be wearing Merrells today while the Vibrams have a date with Efferdent. 2.  I joined Sparkpeople to try and knock off the couple of pounds I gained in St. Martin.  That has worked for me, but I've noticed that my protein consumption isn't quite where it should be and that the protein I do eat is fairly high in fat.  Anyone got some great suggestions for non-dairy … [Read more...]

February Runfessions: The Longest Short Month Ever

You know how short weeks at work often feel longer than a normal week, just because you still need to do the same amount of work in fewer days? Well, February always feels that way for me and this February was no exception. It’s been… a month. I’m joining Marcia to runfess my sins (and […]
