I didn’t get to mention it earlier but I’m officially starting to feel some of the more awesome perks of blogging. I came home to my loft before I left to find this assortment of goodies from Matt, my secret blog food swapper at Run Live and Enjoy!

Some awesome bars that I've actually never tired, some protein smoothie mix, and The Runner's Cookbook!
Matt sent me some bars, all of which I’ve never had, and I absolutely can’t wait to try some recipes out of this cookbook! Thanks!
I had to bring my lunch in the car so I packed a half whole wheat pita sammi with 3 oz of canned salmon and Nasoya Dijon Style Sandwich Spread. I also had 4 oz of grapes and a G2.


This was a really simple but awesome sammie that kept me full until about 6pm. That’s awesome in my book!
Once I got hungry I broke open my bag of bars and snacks that I brought for the trip. My dad had a Kashi Granola Bar, I had this Banana & OatBran KIND Bar. I like these but they are almost too sweet for me at times.

When we finally arrived in Springfield I had these 3 Tootsie Rolls to keep me from getting too muchy before dinner, which won’t be until about 8:30 Michigan time or 7:30 Illinois time. These time changes really do me in.

These were a just right amount of sweets to have.
I can’t wait until dinner, because as I mentioned earlier we’re going to the Magic Kitchen, my absolute favorite restaurant. You can expect lots of pictures, and a very full and happy me later!

I’m glad you liked it!
Yay for secret blogger exchanges! I love the perks of blogging too
Have fun in Springfield!!
Glad you made it safe and sound!! I love Kind bars!
What a great package!! You got hooked up with some fantastic things!
