even if you don’t have a GPS you have probably been in a automobile at one time with one. If so, then you know what happens when you go the wrong way…

Suddenly Tomtom (or whoever is directing you) says, “What the hell you loser?! I told you to go left, why did you go right?! You are stupid…”

My charming partner in the Pysch Ward: A Memoir – book Review
My charming partner in the Pysch Ward : A Memoir
by mark Lukach

Audio book review of the best selling memoir released 2017.

Is it a good listen?
I’m sharing a quick review of the book available on Audible.

From Amazon:

A heart-wrenching yet hopeful memoir of a young marriage that is redefined by mental health problem and affirms the power of love.

Mark and Giulia’s life together began as a fairy-tale romance. They fell in love at eighteen, got married at twenty-four, and started their dream life in San Francisco soon after. but when Giulia was twenty-seven, she suffered a scary and unexpected psychotic break that landed her in the psych ward for nearly a month. one day she was lively and well adjusted; the next, she was delusional and suicidal, convinced that her loved ones were not safe.

Question:
What book or podcast are you listening to now??

What must I listen to next?!

No. That is not what happens. The GPS actually says, “Re-calculating…” and finds you a new way to your destination.

What do you tell yourself when you go the wrong way on your diet plan? Do you calmly re-calculate and get back on track or do you berate yourself?

My day started really well. I had a meal plan all set up and my morning snack was almonds and an apple.

That snack didn’t hold me over for long so I ate lunch (mexican pizza) and one of these bars.

Everything was going terrific until my afternoon snackage. I went a little crazy with the chocolate chips.  I have to admit that I really want to get very mad at myself. That’s not going to help anything, but it’s hard not too be pissed when you’re bloated and coming down from a sugar high.

They were part of my afternoon snack, but I went a little crazy after this.

Well, now I’m re-calculating and getting back on track ?

I ate a healthy dinner of beans, brussels

and part of Ben’s potato skin. That thing was as good and gooey as it looks. I had a small dove square for dessert and now I’m calling it a night.

This is kinda gross, but Ben and I still had the wish bone from T-day hanging around so we grabbed a side and made a wish.

I didn’t win ?

I’m jumping on the Ask Me Anything bandwagon!

Click here to ask me an anonymous question.

It can be about anything and feel complimentary to ask Ben a question too! example question for Ben, “Does Monica subject you to the same lame, improper jokes that she articles on her blog?”

There were over 3,000 exhibits and the place was packed!

Most of the attendees are vendors or work for vendors. So there are tons of samples and information on new health products and food. The booths are hoping vendors will like what they see/smell/taste and sell it at their store.

My store is right here on ol’ RER so I’m going to share with you the

“Best in show from the natural products Expo”…

I tried so many different things I lost track and didn’t take pictures of everything. but I did make sure to note the important things.

We should start with drinks (just like in real life!)…

I’m excited about this whey protein powder made from milk of grass fed cows. It tasted smooth, but was made with almond milk not water. I think the true test is when it’s made with water.

I spotted my favorite protein powder, Spirutein and had a long heart to heart with a lady there (ah, forgot her name!). Anyways, I told her my dilemma that I am trying to get away from soy and she reassured me that it’s only 1/3 soy and non-GMO. So I feel a little better about it and she gave me a sample of my fave flavor in whey. This might fix everything!

There were several milk replacement options – hemp milk, soy milk, almond milk, grain milk… from different companies.

I tried the sunflower seed milk. Eh, it might have to grow on me.

Not a fan of the grain milk. yes a fan of hemp though.

The winner of the best Milk Replacement at the show award goes to this new Almond Milk with Protein! I’m excited about this since I love almond milk, but typically still buy regular milk for the protein content.

The show had a lot of same products made by different companies. tons of granola, yogurt, protein bars and chips or salty snack options.

I tried more bars than Snooki back in her party days and here are the ones I’m most excited about (read taste like dessert, but I don’t have to sneak buying a Snickers)…

Zing’s Dark chocolate Hazelnut bar

Best new concept bar goes to Dr. Praegers for this Froat bar. Doesn’t the name sound like something a blogger would call their homemade granola bar? Anyways, you keep them in the freezer and the girl told me to eat it while it’s still cold.

Best bar made out of a bean (chickpeas!!!) goes to The good Bean. You know my chickpea obsession muscle is going crazy for this one!

They also make chickpea snacks!

Protein Bar that tastes most like a Rice Krispy Award:

Favorite Gel maker award – Honey Stinger Dark chocolate Almond (delicious!!)

Best Body in show goes to this guy who was demonstrating how sweet he looks when he sweats

Oooh, this is some good chocolate…

You guys know I love big drinks and I cannot lie. Luckily, there were tons of drink options including a Zevia booth that I may have visited 3 or 4 times…

I came across the NuNaturals booth that will soon offer an option to flavor your water or sparkling water!

I also chugged an all natural energy drink.

As if that weren’t enough, I attended a lunch put on my Nature’s Path. The CEO and founder of the company Arran Stephens spoke a little about being committed to non-GMO food. and encouraged everyone to support California’s right To know initiative. We’ll discuss this on Monday, but it’s very important!

Lunch spread…

Panini’s made with Nature’s path waffles – good idea, right?!

Then, I spotted my college crush – whom I still mess around with every now and then…

And that brings us to dessert…

There were a lot of ice cream options but here are the top 2:

So delicious Coconut Milk ice cream

Best celebrity Spotting at Expo West – chef cat Cora!

Here lady Tourta Cake was ridiculously delicious.

Another substantial part of the show were all the gluten free options. everything is available gluten free. I’m surprised they didn’t have gluten free gluten!

I tried a lot of the gluten free snacks and breads out of curiosity and think you just have to get used to the different textures and tastes. But, it’s nice to know people with g-free peeps have options.

I have wanted to try these gluten free donuts (in the frozen section) for the longest time. They are typically near the Vitatops so I’m familiar. Yeah, glad I have never bought them. Not a fan.

But, I was a fan of their multi-grain bread.

Best pal spotting of the show: Annelies from Attune!

Best salty Snack – tie between Popcorners White Cheddar and Popcorn Indiana

Best Vegenaise Flavor… drumroll please because I took this one very seriously

Chipotle!

I even voted on this one…

Best Tidbit of info I Learned… the brown boxed Boca burgers (say that 5 times fast!) are made from non-gmo soy. The OG red boxes are made from gmo soy.

I just liked this sign…

Weirdest thing I tasted award : Vegan Tuna

Award for product I think my readers will be most excited about…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Kettle Corn

Best sign I saw on the back of a bathroom stall door Award:

New products – these Ezekial Waffles won’t be hitting stores until May

There were also a few yogurt bars where you could pick toppings for your yogurt (not frozen though)

When I walked out of the convention center I was dragging a enormous bag of samples and the sun was going down. It was a long, very fun, very delicious day!

I’m tired. See ya tomorrow

I get a lot of questions about chia seeds.

Most of the time the question is, “Do you realize you have chia seeds stuck in your teeth?”

But at least a few times a week someone asks if chia seeds help with weight loss or what is the point of them?!?

Obviously the reason to eat chia seeds is because everyone in the healthy living blog community is doing it. You really run the risk of being kicked out of the club if you don’t.

It’s kinda like Pink tee shirt Wednesday on indicate Girls, but with a food that looks like tiny bugs. wear pink and eat chia seeds on Wednesday, it’s a rule.(image source)

Kidding.

Chia seeds are a good source of Omega-3 and Fiber and something else. I chat about chia in my vlog today…

While they are not necessarily a weight loss food they can be a good addition to your balanced diet.

Run fast in hot weather – best suggestions from @Heatherunz

Secrets to Running faster in the summer heat with sub-3 hour marathon runner Heather Schulz aka @Heatherunz. She’s share the best suggestions to fuel, hydrate and train to run strong in hot weather.

These suggestions are also available on the @RunEatRepeat IGTV channel. We did an Instagram live video all about running in the heat and Heather shares some of her stories and tips.

Warm Up:

We’re going to jump best into the interview but I want to share one of Heather’s recent Instagram messages that’s very inspirational. This is the caption…

‘I’m not the fountain of youth by any means, I have my flaws, my age shows in numerous ways, but I’m just as fast now as I was at 23! In some distances, even faster!

My point is, don’t use age as your excuse to not be your best! You’re the one putting limits on yourself! hard work, determination, and believing it’s possible are much much more relevant than age.

Let me remind you I didn’t break 3 hours in a marathon till I was 37!!

Break down the barriers, believe you’re capable and then do the work! Stuck at home? (Yes many of us are) work on your weaknesses, we all have them. I wanna hear your success stories!! we all have a story to tell!”

You can view this interview on the @RunEatRepeat IGTV channel here. Or listen on your favorite podcast app!

Hot weather Running suggestions with @Heatherunz

This interview is filled with terrific suggestions on how to run in hot, humid summer weather. We touch on all the questions below, but some of the best secrets are revealed as we chat about running and training for races.

1. You live in Florida where it’s very hot and humid – how long have you lived / ran in Florida? Are you used to the weather??

2. It can be very hard to run in heat and humidity – What are 3 things you do to help run strong in hot weather?

3. Do you change up your running routine, goals, training, etc during the hotter months? If so how? If not, why?

4. What is your favorite gear (clothes, hydration, etc) that’s terrific for hot weather?

5. If you could give another runner one suggestion to improve their running – what would it be?

Follow @Heatherunz on Instagram and let her know which of the suggestions is your favorite!
