Seven months later and I'm working hard to eliminate the last of my baby weight. It is hard work, but definitely rewarding. To be successful, I must be mindful throughout my day of my calories both in and out. To aid in the calories out, I have started a running program. It is very challenging for me, a person who, frankly, is not a fan of running. I know, I'm crazy.
In regards to the calories in, I try to monitor what I am eating throughout my day. I need to sustain my energy level and not starve myself. One of my co-workers had been eating energy bars called Clif Bar's that I was sure must taste like sand. Any healthy, protein-type bars I had ever tried in the past had tasted like yuck. I need all the help I can get to bounce into my pre-pregnancy body. So what the heck, let's try it out. Wow! To my complete surprise, they taste really good! And you know what? They are actually organic. The Clif Bar's come in a variety of flavors, including special holiday varieties such as Spiced Pumpkin Pie and Iced Gingerbread. I can't wait to try those out! Upon further investigation, this family run company has many products targeting very specific populations. The Luna Bar, for example, is made with women in mind, while Clif Kid provides kids with two options to fulfill their daily fruits intake, along with essential vitamins and minerals.
Clif Bar and Company is an environmentally conscious company who respects and appreciates the outdoors. They live their mission daily with bike to work challenges, engaging local farmers, podcasts, and marathon training. I am so happy that trying the Clif Bar led me to learning more about this company. It is inspiring to know that organizations are so passionate about the marriage of health, nutrition, and the environment.
Have a Healthy Day,
Jessica
