Friday Favorites–Quest Bar Addiction

Cross Training· Fun

6 Dec

Happy Friday!

Last night I had some Thai food action and it was the best! I used to go for Thai once a week and that’s been slacking lately. My taste buds are not happy about that so I made up for it with a delicious dinner with Ben. It’s been too long since we’ve done a date night so I was pretty excited.

thai tea time

It was great!

thai food chicken (725x544)

But, this morning I was taking a bite of the leftovers before my run and I think the chicken looked pink!? So I called 911 (read: freaked out/googled it) to see if I was going to die.

My peep Katie (who thinks I need more hugs, self-help books and happens to be an NP) said I’ll probably just get a stomachache.

stop being so dramatic

25 Days of Fitness Challenge

Day 6 – Spend 15 minutes stretching today (preferably after a workout when your body is warm).

I REALLY need this one! I did a few shake out miles this morning and spent some quality time with my quads. It was nice.

Do it. You won’t regret it Smile

Friday Favorite – these are my favorite things this week:

1. Walking Fast. Apparently brisk walkers live longer than slowbies. Since I consider all my running just ‘race walking training’ I’m going to live till I’m 112. Which is unfortunate because I thought I was going to die at 40 by a shark attack. Seriously.

2. Cereal. I wasn’t buying cereal for a while because I eat it too fast. Well, I missed it and made up for it this week.

3. Heidi Klum for New Balance Moto Pullover. This is what I was wearing for the latest Ask a Monican. I am obsessed. It’s so comfy and looks like nice workout gear so I can wear it for a walk and then run errands without looking like a complete mess.

stop taking pictures in the car like a weirdo (376x501) (376x501)

4. Fitbit Flex. Working on a project that wasn’t supposed to be on RER but I am using it everyday and will post a review for you step/activity counters out there.

5. Quest bars. I eat one everyday. They are expensive. But that’s why I have to schill bad jokes on the internet – Quest bars. There are worse problems to have.

6. This.

seems impossible

      I love making Pad Thai, but it’s definitely not like the original. I’d like to find a authentic Thai restaurant around my area, but I live in the country 🙁

      Hahahaha…can I say I was traumatised looking at people walking on the treadmill in the gym this morning? No. Kidding. This after doing Saturday’s 8pm to Sunday 8am Putrajaya 12Hour Walk.

      Love my fitbit flex. I have asked for the force for Christmas. I hear you on the quest bars. Bought 4 boxes on their Cyber Monday sale. Word to the wise…only eat 1 per day. Just sayin’

      my favorite thing is that my 6 yr old rocked a 5k this morning in 9 degree weather, coming in 17th in his division, only 10 and 9 yr olds beat him. The only one under 8 who ran.

      I’m thinking about getting my mom a Fitbit for Christmas, I’m glad to hear you like it!

      I am loving my new Nike running tights, I wore them today for my run and thought I hated wearing anything but shorts to run, but was pleasantly surprised and I think I look really cool in them.

      Did you end up getting a stomach ache? I am ultra paranoid about that kind of stuff.

      Can’t wait to hear about the fitbit. I’ve been thinking about getting one. I feel like fast walking can sometimes be more challenging than easy running. Especially when on an incline!

      Maybe the chicken was pink because it had been cozying up to the red cabbage?

      I had a bite of quest bar and wasn’t a fan, maybe it was a bad flavor but it just wasn’t my thing. Everyone has good things to say about ’em though so I might have to give it another shot…

      My favorite thing this week was putting up our Christmas tree with my kiddos. It’s so fun to see everything through their eyes again!!

      I second the thing about the cereal. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that can make up for lost time with that crunchy goodness haha! And quest bars are to die for…I ordered some from Quest and GNC for their cyber Monday deals. I’m going to have to hide them to keep from eating all 4 boxes in one day…

      I <3 Quest Bars! I had to get their Cyber Monday deal of buy more than 2 boxes and get 25% off your order. I bought 4 boxes. I am obsessed with them!

      My favorite thing this week has been signing up for another race with some friends (ugly sweater run)! Fun times!

      There is a quest bar that tastes like an almond joy that is great. I couldn’t finish the other flavors I tried in a single sitting. What are your fave flavors?

      My favorite thing this week is my birthday sleepover tomorrow.

      Can’t say I’ve jumped on the quest bar bandwagon. But that’s probably better for my bank account by the sounds of it! I have an expensive kombucha habit as it is…

      my favorite thing this week is that my boss came back to work Monday after having heart surgery before Thanksgiving. I was worried sick about him and so grateful he’s back. He’s the best boss ever!

      Excited to go stretch tonight. (and then I’ll do the plank i’m fessing up to skipping out on from day 1 =)

      It’s dumb but my cats are extra cuddly on account of the frigid weather (at the time I type this, almost 2PM, it’s 19°F, feels like 9°F), so earlier my eldest, Sammy, curled up on my lap. The following exchange ensued:

      Me: “You comfortable?”
      Sammy: *PUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRR*

      So that’s my favorite thing this week.

        It’s cut slightly form fitted I think. I got the medium and felt like it was too small at first, but got used to it. I think it’s fairly standard sizing.
