Happy Hump Day! Its the middle of the week again. I like Wednesdays. Why? (1)It is usually one of my two rest days (the other is Friday) and (2)Hubby and I usually go to one of our favorite places to eat.

I want to share some wisdom from other bloggers with you today. I real a LOT of blogs and often star them. Here are three I think you will love.
As you guys know, I have been spending a lot of time over the winter on the elliptical I found this article that I have to share with you. Wish I had found it earlier. How Not To Get Bored On The Elliptical by Teri. I love the idea of putting magazines out just for reading on the elliptical. I have a ton of magazines I have yet to read (both paper and digital).
Another great article is Creating a Walking Habit by Caitlin. Obviously walking is one of my favorite ways to get in exercise. I have not walked as much during the winter, but I have substituted the elliptical or bike trainer. I am very excited for the time change and the temps increasing. I am ready to walk and bike OUTSIDE!
Don’t have a clue where to get started? Check out the Ultra Beginners Fitness Guide by Emmie. Most people can’t (and probably shouldn’t) go from a sedentary lifestyle to running a 5K. But you need to start somewhere. Find a walking track and do a lap. The next day do two. Then three. You will get there. I promise it gets easier.
I have two new favorite foods:
* Mayfield TruMoo Chocolate Milk
* Emerald Sea Salt and Pepper Cashews
I am drinking 1/2 cup of the TruMoo before breakfast and 1/2 cup after my workout. Fitness magazine actually published an article that recommends chocolate milk after a workout. I am eating 1-1.5 ounces of the cashews in the evening as a snack. I don’t normally like things with salt, but I am loving the taste of the cashews. I am weighing and measuring both, not eyeballing them.
What is your favorite new food?

Yum- those Sea Salt and Pepper Cashews sound like my kind of food! I’ll have to look for those on our next trip to the grocery store.
The sea salt and pepper cashews are made by Emerald and come in a green canister.
I also just bought a case of horizon chocolate milk (8oz “juiceboxes”) to start drinking after my workouts. Chocolate milk is suck a treat in my mind, that I love the fact that I can drink it after a workout and not feel like I’m cheating!
Chocolate milk ROCKS! I am really enjoying my 1/2 cup before breakfast and 1/2 cup after workout.
I must have read the same article because I too recently started with chocolate milk after my long workouts. Loving Horizon 1%!
