GoodBelly Challenge

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
6 Dec

After my run I ate an apple as a mid-morning snack, but since we all know apples are BS only make me hungrier I chased it down with dutch cocoa Somersaults and hot cocoa. Yep, just got that mug in Las Vegas this weekend! I’m not a fan of random souvenirs but really wanted this for some reason?IMG_3077 (800x600)

By noon I had an intense craving for chickpeas. Luckily, I found this organic can of the beans at the 99 a while back.IMG_3078 (600x800)IMG_3081 (800x600)

Instead of bread, I paired my salad with cereal SmileIMG_3082 (800x600)

After my bout with the Panamanian flu my stomach felt weird for a long time. (Remember what a mess I was?!) monica is dead

A rep from GoodBelly contacted me and asked if I wanted to try their 12 Day Challenge and I figured it couldn’t hurt. good belly challenge

The challenge is that you drink a serving of GoodBelly for 12 days and feel better (I was hoping it would kill my Panamanian parasite). I have been taking it for a few days, but couldn’t take it with me to Vegas (my drink of choice there started with a “v” and ended with “odka” anyways). So, I can’t say I did the whole 12 day challenge but I am still drinking it.

But, I can say I love this Cranberry Watermelon flavor! It brings back happy memories of my summer love… IMG_0003 (800x600)They actually have eight other flavors if you’d rather leave the watermelon eating and drinking to me:

  • Pomegranate Blackberry
  • Cranberry Watermelon
  • Mango
  • Blueberry Acai
  • Strawberry
  • Lemon Ginger
  • Vanilla Chamomile
  • Coconut Water
  • Tropical Green

If you want to try the GoodBelly Challenge leave a comment with your summer love. (*Open to US residents only. Contest ends 12/7/11 at 9pm PST. Winner announced 12/7/11 by midnight.)

      My summer love would have to be evening walks. I think it’s a great way to unwind at the end of the day when it’s still light enough and warm enough to get outside.

      That great belly challenge sounds AMAZING. I have a “sensitive” stomach so maybe this would help 🙂

      Yikes, that’s a dangerous feeling!! I prefer to run (fast) to get home because if I slow down and walk it seems to make the need for the bathroom greater for some reason. Luckily, if I’m running my body gets the hint and eases up a bit!

      My summer love is definitely watermelon also! I could eat a whole watermelon in one sitting, for sure! 🙂

      I’ve blogged about the challenge (so I’m not trying to enter)… it does work, if you give it the time… and of course, it adds up $ over time. My favorite is the mango; the tropical green is a close second. I will definitely use it after taking antibiotics, though!

      My summer loves are sunshine, salsa, strawberrys and anything from the grill… paired of course with a corona light in my hand!

      My summer love is blueberries!! I go and pick them and freeze enough for the whole year. Or at least I TRY to – they’re already almost gone 🙁

      My summer loves are vodka and raw vegetables. When it’s really hot they are the only things I want to consume.
