who wins?

We've had some great ideas this month!  Yay!  I think some of my faves were the snack ideas.

 We've had a lot of people nominating the same ideas so I decided to go with the ones most nominated.  I promised that you would all have the final vote so here they are along with the voting poll.

The poll will only be open until tomorrow (March 10th) at about noon. 

So make sure you get your voting in... I will announce our March contest tomorrow along with the winner of this contest!

On my 24 hour bus trip to DC, my friend and I brought an entire bag of apples, w/ a jar of PB, and other healthful snacks (carrots, strawberries, etc) so when we were taking our break every 4 hours, we simply opted to snack from our bag, instead of getting gas station JUNK FOOD. Benefits? 1) cheaper 2) healthier.

I just signed up to train for a thirteen mile walk in order to raise money and awareness for Leukemia research and hopefully a cure! My niece Elli was diagnosed with leukemia last year and it has been a long road. In addition to Elli's illess, my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer a month after we found out about Elli. My goal is not only to walk for them, but to walk for me. For my sanity, for my health, for everyone who can't. Walking for a cause is also a great way to fitness. There is lots of training support to help you through it. http://pages.teamintraining.org/sf/rnr09/lcottril

Music, good music always makes me feel great and gets me moving. Every year I pick a band for the year that I want to listen to more, last year it was The Cars, their music always makes me happy. This year it is Fleetwood Mac, they are oh-so-good! I think you need to feel happy on the inside before you can feel happy on the outside and amazing, upbeat music is a must for me. One of my favorite websites is pandora.com. You put in what band you want to listen to and it plays that band and band like them, so you hear lots of great stuff and learn about some new bands you never knew you loved!

Reading a book whilst I bike (in the gym of course!) helps me to bike longer than I generally intend ... books on MP3 are even better! :-)

The thing that has been keeping me motivated is my coffee!! Odd huh? We recently bought one of those Tassimo single cup coffee makers. It is AWESOME!! I can make an amazing Macchiato at home!! BUT, i will not let myself have one unless i get my butt on the treadmill or in front of a work out DVD!! Even my kids know the rules!! They don't let me forget!! :)

When you’re on a trip, plan meals and then cook together.
