August Faves

This month's list is short...just a few standouts...

First up...the Hydroflask.  This thing is amazing.  Put water and ice cubes in it at 7am and at 5pm there was still ice cubes in it.  Not even joking.  It's heavy...I don't want to tote it around all day.  But if you want to keep something hot or cold this will do it.

I have a crazy obsession with caramel rice cakes lately. I don't know when rice cakes started tasting so good but I love these.  Sometimes with peanut butter, sometimes plain.  At least 2 a day. 

I also discovered PowerAde Zero in Grape and Mixed Berry.  Yum and yum. 

Since I was in Ohio half the month of August I really didn't try much new.  But I did discover Muscle Monster.  25grams of protein in those and they tasted really good!  I tried the vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry and they made a convenient breakfast on my drive to work.  Other than that I stocked my room with rice cakes, oatmeal, and Lean Cuisines.  I'm happy to be back to a routine now that I'm home again.  It blows me away that we are already six days into September.  Traveling for 2 1/2 weeks out of the month kind of makes it fly by.  The Women Rock Starlet Challenge is less than 2 weeks away (time to cram some last minute training in) and Hawaii is 45 days away.  I kind of don't want it to get here and then be over! 

So far during this long weekend I've managed to be a good combination of productive and lazy as well as enjoyed catching up with good friends over breakfast today.  If I can continue my mix of productive/lazy then it'll be a successful weekend!
