Meal Enders Review and #Giveaway #Ad

 
 
I was provided with four flavors of Meal Enders as a Sweat Pink Ambassador, in exchange for this review. As always, all opinions are my own!
 
I am an emotional eater. And a snacker. I don't necessarily always snack because I am hungry. The food is just there. Know what I mean? I always seem to start roaming the kitchen at about 4:00 in the afternoon. Really? It's practically dinner time! I eat something, and then when dinner time comes around, I am not even hungry. Ugh.
I could not wait to try Meal Enders.
What are they?
Yummy!
 
The outer layer is softer than the inner layer, and it's sweet. Once you break through that first layer, meant to provide you with the feeling of "dessert", you get to the inner layer, which is more like a hard candy. It leaves you with a cooling/tingling feeling in your mouth (kind of like when you suck on a cough drop, but without that yucky taste). Your mouth feels fresh and cool, and cues the end of eating and clears the palate. For real.
I brought some with me to work, and tried the lemon one first. It held me off for at least an hour. I tried the Chocolate Mint next, and that one held me over until dinner. I was ecstatic. Those two are definitely my favorites, but all four are very tasty. Each one is individually wrapped goodness, and contains 2 grams of sugar and 15 calories. I will gladly trade those 30 calories for the few hundred I would normally consume at the witching hour!
I keep them right on the counter near the cabinet where we keep the snacks. It is a gentle reminder to choose them instead of whatever else I would have ended up with!
With the NYC Marathon in the future, I hope to lose some weight to make the miles a little easier, and ending the mindless snacking will go a long way!
Meal Enders are
  • drug free
  • stimulant free
  • herb free
  • low calorie
  • low fat
  • gluten free

And now for the good part! Meal Enders has graciously offered to send one package of each flavor to one of my readers! That's four bags! In order to enter, please visit their website, and tell me which flavor you are most excited to try! I will use random.org to choose a winner on Thursday, March 18 and will announce the winner on Friday!
Good luck!

#TakeTheLeap with #Prana and #SweatPink Yoga Challenge!

 
 
Time for another Mad Lib!!!
 
 
 
When I think about yoga, the first thought that comes to mind is Ohmmmmmmmm. Yoga calms me and makes me feel centered.
 
That's why I am so excited to participate in prAna's Take the Leap 30 days of Yoga Challenge with Sweat Pink. I plan to crow pose my way to a  more flexible 201!
 
For me, the biggest challenge when it comes to yoga is getting my family to be quiet while I practice! Taking the Leap with prAna and Sweat Pink is a great way for me to face/conquer/achieve/find that quiet! My favorite place to yoga is the beach because it is so peaceful.
 
I wish I had a photo of me doing yoga there, but at least I can share the view!!


I would love to see some yoga poses from my readers! Post one to Instagram and tag me! @BarkingMadRun

Three years ago I started this blog as a way to stay accountable during my training for my very first half marathon! Who would have thought that I would be sitting here now, three years later, with thirty half marathons under my belt? Not me, that's for sure!
It has been a wild and bumpy ride, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
I am hosting an Instagram giveaway, with ten fabulous prizes for ten fabulous winners!
