Camping is one of our favorite summer traditions. This year I vowed I would not gain 5 pounds over our camping weekend like I have for the past 4 years. Here's some of the foods I packed to stay on track. Brekfast foods: fruit, Tillamock Greek yogurt, Larabars, and hard boiled eggs (not pictured) Lunch- Tuna in sweet pepper slices, carrots (not pictured) and popchips Dinner- Turkey hotdogs and watermelon (the other night we have dinner on the road) Snacks (my husbands favorite food)- dried mango slices, fruit leather strips, pistachios, fruit, applesauce and organic beef jerky Since I'm still breastfeeding, I need an afternoon snack. IdealShape sent me some of their shakes to try out so I had to pack that too! I've been using them as my afternoon snack and really like them. They are a great post workout meal (yes I plan to run while I'm camping) with 11 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar. The IdealShakes only take 30 seconds to make and can be made one handed (you breastfeeding mommas know how important that is!). The shakes are filling, simple to make, portable, mix well with water, tasty (I LOVE the orange Creamsicle), and don't leave me wanting to snack all afternoon. They have been a welcomed addition to my hectic momma days. IdealShape is letting me host a giveaway for a full sized product.

If you're like me, you're loving that it's finally summer again! Here in the Inland Northwest, we truly have 4 seasons so summer is really only 3 months long. Here are my 3 S's of Summer to make the most of the summer time we get to improve/maintain your health goals. 1. Sweat! It's easy to let the "lazy days of summer" make you feel lazy too. But with the warmer weather, it allows for more opportunities to move. Run (in the mornings to stay cool), swim, walk to the playground, play in your backyard, hike, basically do anything that makes you move. Turn the TV off and get outside! 2. Smile! Go see a comedy or be silly with your kids. Laughing has been proven to relax your whole body and boost your immune system. It will not only improve your health, but put you in a better mood as well. 3. Smart choices! With endless BBQ's and the urge to grab fast food so we don't have to heat up the house with the oven, it gets hard to stay on track! Some things that can help are planning ahead, grilling outside, and keeping meals and snacks easy. I've been loving smoothies and wanted something with added protein for my post workout snack. I was given a product called Amazing Grass to try out and I loved it! It tastes really great, blends well (not chalky at all), and is plant based which is huge for me! Right now they are doing a 40% off sale with the code 40SWEATPINK2. You can check it out at www.amazinggrass.com.
