Puppy Sitting

First off, I want to say thank you for the amazing feedback on the Quest Nutrition Giveaway I held last week. I already contacted the winner, #161 Kaitlyn, and she is beyond excited to receive her bars! If you didn't win this giveaway and have never tried Quest Protein Bars before then you should definitely give them a run for their money. They are so delicious.

See this cute little guy below?

His name is Rex and he is Alex's furry little nephew! I've been puppy sitting him all week while his owners are out of town and he is so much fun. Sometimes he can be a handful but how can anyone resist an innocent puppy dog?

When we take him in the car he sits in the laundry basket and doesn't jump around the car! I'm not too sure what will happen when he doesn't fit in it anymore!

I have taken him on a few walks over the last week and the other day I took him for a short run! He did really well and seemed to enjoy it because the next day when I took him on a walk he just wanted to run!

While I have been watching him this past week I have been thinking more about my summer workouts and how I am going to fit them in with my busy schedule. Right now it's kind of hit and miss. Some days I go straight from class to work an 8 hour day and don't get home until it's dark out and I won't run outside at night by myself so I normally just skip those days. I am going to make a sincere effort from here on out to schedule more runs in the morning first thing so I don't have to miss as many. I hope to have some more fun workouts for you on the blog soon too! It's been awhile since you all have seen one of those!

Also - be sure to follow Rockin' Ribbons on Twitter! A giveaway will be happening over there sometime soon. But you must be a follower to enter!

Question

Do you have a dog that will run with you? My dogs are not runners at all.

Quest Nutrition Review & Giveaway

* This giveaway is now closed *

 

The kind people over at Quest Nutrition sent me an assorted case of Quest Bars and Quest Cravings High Protein Peanut Butter Cups to review! They also agreed to let one lucky reader win an assorted case of Quest Bars too!

Before Quest Nutrition I was eating other protein bars after workouts or for breakfast if I was running late. When I came across Quest I learned more about how good Quest Nutrition Bars were for your body and how horrible other protein bars were. I knew that other protein bars had a lot of carbs and sugars but I needed that extra punch of protein in my diet and didn't really think too much into it. I quickly learned that those extra carbs and sugars were bad for you and that Quest Bars eliminate the extra carbs and sugars so you won't ruin your hard work.

The first Quest Bar I tried I thought was somewhat chewy. I didn't mind it too much but after reading around I noticed that some people were putting theirs into the microwave for a few seconds to make it warm and gooey. When I tried that technique I was in love. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Quest Bar in the microwave for 20 seconds tastes exactly like a fresh baked cookie!

The other great thing about these bars is that they taste exactly how you would expect them to. The Apple Pie bar tastes like apple pie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough tastes like chocolate chip cookie dough, Strawberry Shortcake tastes like strawberry shortcake! Normally with other protein bars if it says Strawberry Shortcake it just has a strawberry flavor to it, not the actual strawberry shortcake taste you were longing for. It's almost like you are indulging in your favorite dessert but you are giving your body what it needs which is a win-win in my book.

Now if the Quest Bars aren't enough, the Quest Cravings Peanut Butter Cups are amazing. I love chocolate and peanut butter so I quickly dug into these. The cups are huge so you can eat just one and be satisfied. The other great thing about them is their nutritional stats. How can a chocolate peanut butter cup have such amazing nutritional stats? I have no idea but somehow Quest manages to do it! And they do it well.

If you are looking for the perfect protein bar that won't ruin all of your hard work and tastes as good as a candy bar then Quest is for you! Head on over to their website and order the Sampler box and a few Quest Cravings PB Cups today. I can almost guarantee that you will love every single flavor because I know I did.

Giveaway time! Enter the giveaway below to win an assorted case of Quest Nutrition bars. One lucky reader will be chosen at random on Saturday June 8th when the giveaway closes. Remember you can tweet every day for extra entries!
