Food Notes

Food product reviews: Last week we looked at products that could be eaten for Breakfast.

• Kashi Heart to Heart Warm Cinnamon Oat Cereal was totally on point with simple flavors and not loaded with calories and sugars.
• Weetabix Organic Crispy Flakes & Fiber Cereal had stellar nutrition though the taste was a little bland.
• Kashi Heart to Heart Oat Flakes & Blueberry Clusters Cereal had a little too much blueberry flavor going on with the flakes which made it not so delicious.
• For something different, try French Meadow Bakery Sprouted Cinnamon Raisin Bagel - it's packed with fiber and protein, but it's pretty big so the calorie count isn't low either.

This week in food reviews, it's all about HEALTHY SNACKS!

Workout Music: Another week, 2 more hot playlists to help power you through those workouts.

Big Boss Workout Playlist, Hip-hop music for a weights workout, and Kicking the Habit Workout Playlist, rock tunes to get you in the cycling groove.

Working on mah Fitness:Over the weekend, I had (2) 5K races on the agenda. Saturday was a road race (for the most part), which I clocked in at 26:03 and had a fantastic time as the hubby and step-son were able to come - and the little man came in 1st in the kids race! Sunday was a 5K trail race in a gorgeous park in Esopus, NY - bet not many people have heard of that town! This was a very technical trail, on which I almost went down at least a dozen times, and nearly twisted my ankle countless times - I'm naturally a clutz! Although my time is what I consider slow for me on trails, 37:05, I was able to come 1st in my age group! And the post-race Quinoa chili provided by Soul Dog (Poughkeepsie, NY), was nothing short of AMAZING!

I'm on a much needed break from running races this upcoming weekend (here's my schedule of May races) - going to spend some MUCH needed time with my road bike.
