Not as Healthy as you think!
Yogurt with Fruit on the Bottom: Be careful here, these can be loaded with high fructose corn syrup.
My suggestion: Plain yogurt and add your own fruit with a drizzle of honey.

Trail Mix: Sure it sounds great with all the nuts and sugared fruit, then some add chocolate – this is really high in calories and with all the sugar will not keep your filled up for long.
My suggestion: Have a handful of mixed raw nuts.
Fruit Juice: Very deceiving and loaded with added sugars – up to 35 grams of sugar in an 8oz serving.
My suggestion: Make your own juice or eat the fruit.
Flavored Tea Drinks: Deceiving tea sounds good for you however these have tons of added sugars.
My suggestion: Brew your own tea and add honey to sweeten.

Tuesday Cardio Blast

Wanted to blast it on the cardoio.... again to really do some calorie busting!
50 minutes eliptical Podrunner week 2 toward an 8K (intervals)
25 minutes on treadmill at incline of 10 and 14 then down to 5 for last 4 minutes.  pace of 3.1-3.2

I feel like my tendon (in bicep) is healing.... staying away from the off day strength training unless I do legs.  I can't wait to pump up the weight! 

Now for a relaxing moment....
