fitzee — Blog — Fit Foodie Le

RISE AND GRIND fit foodies! mornin'. i was up early in sanctuary #2 gettin' my sweat on in Barbell Strength class. fun, fun. wake up!!!

get to know trial and error. get comfortable with it. accept that things will not always go the way you planned. and when they don't, sulking and dwelling on it should be the last thing on your agenda. it shouldn't even be on there to begin with. to be disappointed is to be human. cry. adapt. adjust. suck it up. pick yourself up. then keep walking. failure does not mean defeat. it means that you now understand what works and what doesn't, e.g. trial and error! whether you receive a yes or a no in the pursuit of your dreams, they are both blessings. you must believe that. God has your best interest at heart at all times and will not lead you astray. He promised! He's just adjusting your path to where He wants you to go. remember... He's always thinking of you, even when He is not on your mind. i may not always know which way to go when a fork is thrown in my road or what to do next, but walking backwards is not an option. face your fears and keep moving forward, friends.

i hardly ever get to sit down and actually read my favorite mags anymore so i took full advantage on our plane ride to South Beach this past weekend. look out; Fall recipes are headed your way ;) what else did i bring? you already know.

some fast food.

a couple of red delicious apples, clementines, almonds, and my favorite gluten-free, all natural FITzee bar flavor, Apples 'n Oats.

perfect for traveling and on-the-go but also for feeding those hungry muscles after a great workout! after exercise, your body requires an abundance of protein and carbohydrates to replenish your depleted muscles.

the bar's carbohydrate:protein:fat ratio makes it an ideal, healthy option for a PWO (post workout) snack or meal replacement. click here for nutritional stats and ingredients on all 3 flavors.

depending on your airline, in-flight snacks and/or meals seem to be nonexistent these days, jeez. no peanuts, pretzels, nothin' . you'd do better bringing your own anyway!

MORE non-refridgerated snack ideas for traveling:

trailmix / granola
beef or turkey jerky
packaged tuna
wraps, tortillas, pita pockets (La Tortilla Factory, Prophet's Ezekiel)
peanut butter (individual packets)

off to pick up my business cards for the BE conference tonooooight!

Q: what are you afraid of?

so about those FITzee bars i was telling you about- well, we love'em. ESPECIALLY my little guy! the older he gets, the pickier his appetite becomes. so, i'm glad he is quite fond of them *wipes forehead*

they make for a healthy, kid friendly, toddler-tested-fitmom-approved snack. this is the Apples 'n Oats bar (whey protein + gluten-free oats + dried apples and cinnamon), but there are 9 flavors to choose from.

so, i talk about the 80/20 rule (80% clean diet / 20% whatever i desire in moderation calculated into my macros) a lot and how i prefer to eat real, low - no processed food over bars or shakes. however, when i do chow down on a bar (and i do), it needs to meet certain standards for me and these do! FITzee bars are:

*all natural

*portable for on-the-go

*cost-efficient

* no mess

* ideal carb:protein:fat ratio

*easy to digest and eliminates hunger

*lactose, wheat, & gluten-free

*naturally sweetened

*low sodium

the result? one amazing energy bar designed to replicate a balanced meal that is suitable for every person and any lifestyle!

they are sweet, chewy and i adore the little chunks of apple and oats in there. see the nutritional contents for each bar on the FITzee Foods menu here.

the latest FITzee Foods meal i'm feelin' is the read beans and rice with chicken andouille.

i added some fresh green onion and shredded cheddar almond cheese on top before i mixed it all together. comfort food at it's finest! i told you, they have it all.

in deep thought at the squat bar during this morning's early workout, as always! i do hope your Thursday was a PRODUCTIVE one. if you don't do it, it won't get done.
