On my way to work I tried the Quaker Oats True Delights bar in Dark Chocolate Raspberry Almond. It did the job but I was not too impressed with it. The raspberry flavor is a little too fake for me and it was a little crumbly. I appreciated the chocolate chunks and the almonds...but even the almonds tasted funny. I don't think I'll be buying them in the near future as there are many other bars that taste better. I love bars, but I try to eat more real foods.
How often do you eat bars?
When I came home from my leisurely 10.5-hour workday, all I wanted was to eat and couch...in that order, or at the same time. Now I love the concept of mindful eating- slowly savoring a good meal while paying attention to only the task at hand. Tonight was not one of those night. Here is what my tablescape looked like tonight:
Notice the glow of the TV, the ENORMOUS bag of chips, and awesome lighting. I'm definitely available for party planning.
Here is a close-up of my dinner:
This is Orowheat 100% Whole Wheat bread topped with homemade tuna salad (tuna, eggs, relish, spicy mustard) and one slice of jalapeno jack cheese shredded and broiled for 5 minutes. While this toasted up, I had a serving of chips and hummus.
Finally, I sat down to work on a report I was helping Mike with. Biggest Loser was on TV and I decided it was time for a cookie (ok, 2 cookies). Just as I took my picture, I looked at the camera and completely cracked up. Do you see Bob's angry face in the background? Not only do I feel guilty eating dessert while watching Biggest Loser, even Bob is yelling at me. What will I do next, swear inside a church? Oy.

LOVE Stacey's chips! such a delish treat!
HA I heart my Bob! I could go for some Stacy Chips right now =)
My fave bar is Kashi Trail Mix, yuuuums
I consume bars from time to time, but they tend to be too addicting for me, lol. I have bars during exam time though, i.e. day of the exam, since food is the last thing on my mind.
I have too many bars a day, I've been trying my best to keep it at one but I've slipped a couple times. I go through phases like that though so I'm sure it will pass.
Hahaha great pic! I love eating cookies and chocolate during those kinds of diet programs. I think it's compulsory. Well done for getting your workout in early! I love how that makes me feel the rest of the day.
That picture is priceless!! :)
I maybe eat 1 bar a day on days I work out hard...I have gotten hooked on Clif Bars :)
I wasn't impressed with those bars either - definitely fake tasting and dry. I try to eat real food too instead of relying on bars, but I probably have a few bars a week. And bars like larabar and pure bars are still real food, just in a more convenient form :)
Haha, love Bob in the background. Don't feel guilty - everyone deserves a treat!
I'd take chocolates and cookies any day haha :) Not a big fan of bars, I don't really like the way they taste, well those that I've tried anyway.
