I finally got to go to the gym today after missing it for a week! I only had time for 25 minutes at lunch but still better than nothing. I did intervals on the elliptical of 2 minutes at level 5 and 2 minutes at level 11.

Stats:

Calories Burned: 210
Maximum Heart Rate: 183
Average Heart Rate: 157

It felt great even if it was a quick workout. I am not sure if I will make it after work because I have another secret shop but I will try! I did not schedule any secret shops for next week because I need to get back into the everyday gym mode!! I know I could go in the mornings but that has not been working out too well for me this week! What can ya do!

Lunch was another turkey wrap! Sorry to repeat dinner from last night but they are my favorite thing to have for lunch!

Turkey, American Cheese, Mustard, Hummus, Cucumbers, Lettuce on a Whole Wheat Wrap!

I munched on some Lesser Evil Krinkle Sticks too!

I am now craving chocolate but I forgot my usual bar and gum! I do have an apple so I will be pulling that out shortly!!


AWESOME ALMONDS REVIEW

The wonderful folks over at Awesome Almonds sent me a box filled with 3 different flavors of Almonds to try!!

Cinnamon Vanilla, Cocoa Java, and Orange Vanilla!

The website explains what is just so AWESOME about these almonds!!

  • incredible taste experience
  • developed by a real physician and an ICU (intensive care unit) nurse
  • created with your healthy snacking in mind
  • 100% California almonds- the best in the world
  • all-natural ingredients
  • no artificial colors or preservatives
  • salt-free
  • no added cooking oils
  • no hydrogenated oils
  • roasted in water, coffee, or orange juice to give a pleasant unique taste
  • they crunch and have a light sweet flavor
  • kosher-certified by KSA (Kosher Supervision of America)
  • vegan-certified
  • made in America and adhering to fair labor practices to include a safe and healthy work environment.

The first flavor I tried was Cocoa Java. I also had my roommate (Jackie) try each flavor so you could see two different opinions:

I loved the taste! It had a hint of chocolate and espresso to it. I think it would go perfect with a hot cup of coffee! Jackie did not even want to taste this flavor at first because she did not think it would be good. She was pleasantly surprised with the taste and thought it was just right!

The next flavor we tried was Cinnamon Vanilla:

I immediately fell in love after my first taste! It was like eating a cinnamon Churro!! So delicious. Jackie did not like this flavor at first but then decided it was really good. I could eat these every day! They have a nice touch of cinnamon and are not too sweet.

Last but not least, Orange Vanilla:

I was a little skeptical about this flavor but orange flavored almonds just seemed weird to me. I tasted one and really did not like it. It felt like I was eating a cough drop! Jackie also did not like it and spit it out.

And the winner is……….

Cinnamon Vanilla Awesome Almonds!!

I can’t wait to try these out in my oats!! They will also make the perfect snack at work when I need something sweet to munch on!

I am off to go do some work. Have a good night!

    I don’t mind your wraps – I think they look tasty :D Especially with the pickles in them like yesterday.

    Those almonds look pretty cool too. I would think the cinnamon vanilla would be the best as well.

    Yeah, I wouldn’t be too sure about the orange flavor, either. Love oranges but not mixed with nuts! The other flavors sound yummy, though.
