Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Bars ROCK!

2010-03-06T11:38:16-08:00

I just discovered the Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Bars...OMG! I was in craving something sweet while in the grocery store and decided I should stick to something low cal vs. a snickers bar (!) and checked out the frozen food section.

Normally I get the Weight Watchers Giant Fudge bars for 1point and I love them. Then, I saw something new - at least to me - the Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Bars. And they were on sale so I was sold.

The Chocolate Truffle Bar is 100 calories, 2.5 g of fat and 3 g of fiber = 2 points. And DELICIOUS! They are my new favorite treat! I had to refrain from eating two in one sitting.

What's your current favorite 1 or 2 point sweet treat? I'm always looking for treats that I won't feel guilty about eating.

On my recent trip to Atlanta, I had the pleasure of meeting Katie Ingraham, Director of Social Media for Foot Solutions. She was telling me about a new site Foot Solutions is building to feature a runner they are sponsoring. Katie asked if she could do a short interview with me about what keeps me motivated to stay on track with my running program...here's my response:

It's like Running Barefoot - check out these wacky running shoes

2010-02-14T10:17:41-08:00

Running barefoot? Me? No way. But my good friend and running buddy Stephanie has started running in these wacky looking shoes called Vibram Five Fingers KSO. They are unlike any shoe I've seen. They're designed to simulate the benefits of running barefoot but with a little protection on the sole of your foot.

We met up in Long Beach for a run by the ocean on a gorgeous afternoon. She's a serious runner and does a much faster pace than I so it was fun to see her 5-toed shoe prints in the sandy spots as I trailed behind.

I took the opportunity to check out a new app for my phone call AudioBoo and interviewed Stephanie about her cool Vibram Five Fingers KSO shoes. It's just under 2 minutes.

Running barefoot is not a new phenomenon. When I was doing research I found info about barefoot running on a website that's been around since the olden days of the Web...1997!

Fat Loss Quickie Scott Tousignant is an Inspiration to Many

2010-02-06T15:37:34-08:00

Last week I had the pleasure of finally meeting Scott Tousignant, the genius behind the Fat Loss Quickie 10 minute work out program. I've been following Scott for a long time on twitter and was excited when I found out we would both be on the faculty at the Niche Affiliate Marketing System event.

Scott has an avid "cult" of followers! And I mean cult in a good way. I think there were about 30 people in attendance who are members of his Fat Loss Quickie experience. And they all looked great and raved about the workouts - 10 minutes you can do everyday in your home and/or office.

I couldn't resist and I joined the 6 month program. It's only been a few days and so far, each day I get an email with a link to a page with two videos: one for strength training and one for cardio. Plus there are occasional videos with nutrition tips.

I really like the format. It's simple and doesn't require a lot of time. And, the workouts are designed for the work at home entrepreneur, like me. I find myself sitting at my computer for hours on end so it's good to have a structured program I can easily get up and do when I need a break.

You don't have to join the program to get a ton of value from Scott Tousignant. He has a free motivation report with 36 Success Tips.
