My new favorite find

As you know, I've been working out in the mornings again.  4:30 a.m. is early, let me tell you.  Some days it about kills me but I've been fairly faithful about it.  I have some personal cheerleaders checking on me and I simply can't let them down! haha My 16 year old neice has dubbed herself my best personal cheerleader and she's really the one who got me out of bed last Wednesday.  The thought went through my head like this: "I hate that alarm. I'm so tired.  I'll text Jenna and tell her I worked really hard yesterday and I'm taking the morning off....... ya.. that sounds GOOD!.......but then when Sam asks how I'm doing I'll have to be honest and tell her I sluffed.... UGH! I can't let her down! I would suck as a role model! Ok fine..."  And I got up.  You can see I'm cheery that early in the morning, right? :)
Something else I'm NOT at 4:30 is hungry.  Who really wants to eat anything at that hour?  However, its better to eat something small prior to working out so your metabolism can really get going.  I invested in the LARGE package of peanut butter sandwich crackers at Costco several months ago thinking "Hmm- these will be good.  Protein and carbs- nice choice."  And then after about two weeks of them, I wanted to gag every time I thought about munching on them while driving to the gym.
SO- I needed to find something new.  These are my new morning treat:

I found these at Costco, too.  I was a little worried they might be too pop-tarty for my taste.  Pop-tarts make me go in to Sugar Shock and get caught in my lederhosen.  Plus, they're not healthy.  However, these Special K numbers are so yummy and 50 calories per crisp.  THIS I can handle at 4:30 a.m.  Then I can come home and have some peanut butter with toast and a plum.  MUCH better.  Go check them out!
