Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life

It’s week 3 of Courtney’s June Yoga Challenge. This month has flown by so far!

I seriously come to love yoga more and more each time I go to a class or engage in some yoga in the comforts of my own home (doing yoga at home has amazing benefits….you can try any pose you’d like without feeling embarrassed when you fall! Not that I’ve ever done that or anything!)

This week I was extremely busy (only three more weeks of grad. school left and I swear I’m done with school. Two masters is enough! I need to keep telling myself this..I have an unhealthy addiction to school.)

While reading Courtney’s blog, I noticed a post about a free 15-day trial at MyBarre3.com. Needless to say, I jumped on this opportunity and couldn’t be happier about my decision to! MyBarre3.com allows you to practice barre3 anytime, anywhere with a wide-selection of video workouts.

I think my absolute favorite part of MyBarre3.com is that you can choose videos based on the length of the workout you want to do. This is perfect for every busy schedule.

My 3 sessions for the week included:

1. Barre3 Ballet Bootcamp. I never imagined that ballet and bootcamp could fit in the same sentence, but it definitely worked. Prevention magazine even did a test on this program. They tested 15 women who completed the program for a month. They all saw amazing results! I am planning on giving this a go for the entire month of July. Is anyone with me?

2. Barre3 Runner’s Workout. This 30 minute workout is designed with athletics in mind. I loved it! It was challenging and fun all at the same time! Runners and athletes, give this a try!

3.  Barre3 Balance. This is a 40 minute workout to help with grace and strength. I swear I am so uncoordinated sometimes. I’m hoping repetition of this workout will help me to ummm not trip over my own two feet next month!

I am really enjoying Barre3. Everyone should give it a try!

And it’s the last giveaway of my Week of Giveaways! This week flew by. Be sure to make a quick entry into the other 5 giveaways. It only takes 1 comment to win and trust me, you’ll be trying some very awesome products!

This last review and giveaway is courtesy of the wonderful people at Gnu Foods. Gnu Foods makes fiber bars that are all natural, contain nearly 50 percent of your DV of fiber, are low in calories and are great for people following Weight Watchers.

When two boxes packed with baked fibers bars showed up on my door step, I could not wait to dig in.

Flavors include:

  • Blondie Bar
  • Blueberry Cobbler
  • Carrot Cake
  • Banana Walnut
  • Chocolate Brownie
  • Peanut Butter
  • Cinnamon Raisin
  • Orange Cranberry
  • Expresso Chip

My Thoughts:

  • My absolute favorites were the Blondie, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Brownie. Yes, I have a major sweet tooth. Overall, I didn’t find a flavor that I wouldn’t eat though.
  • Flavor and Fiber is definitely and accurate description. These baked bars were far from bland!
  • They kinda reminded me of homemade baked-goods instead of your typical “card board-tasting” fiber bar.
  • For my vegan friends, they are vegan!
  • Perfect if you are in need of fiber and want to enjoy eating it!
  • Nutritious!

Gnu Foods want you to try their Flavor and Fiber bars too!
