Mission: Fuel Up for Fun!

Awesome! Today I ran my first 5k and Julianne & Johanna ran in the kids dash.  The event benefited Hope Children’s Hospital and the Ronald McDonald house in Oak Lawn, IL.  I’m not a big fan of McDonald’s, but I love their charity of the Ronald McDonald houses.  We used their hospitality quite a bit when Johanna was in the hospital for a month after her first seizure.  It’s only fitting that I would support their cause…especially during this week – the week we eliminated her prescription seizure meds!

Preparing for today was fun!  I don’t mean the running part.  That was not my favorite part in the beginning.  However, packing up for the day was so easy and the girls were so good.  That’s what happens when you fuel up for fun without using artificial junk!

This morning:

• Berries & Odwalla superfood bars
• Jamba Juice was passed out at the race
• Lunch at Jason’s Deli www.jasonsdeli.com
• For me: A Cinch Shake for breakfast and Shaklee Performance to assure I was hydrated for the big event!

People ask me all the time if I really take the time to make sure that we have healthy snacks/options around 99% of the time the answer is YES! In fact, my mom and husband ate breakfast right from our van console…which was not stocked for today – the picture above is how it always looks!

It’s ready to go with:

• Fresh fruit/veggies
• Trail mix
• Shaklee Herbal Blend Cream for bug bites, sunburn or dry skin
• Shaklee Cinch snack bars (great for the whole family)
• H2 samples (somebody always is asking for one or we can use it with water for a quick wash up)
• My check book (it’s the season for fresh markets and most vendors take checks)
• Our Easy Juicing book (the cookbook of choice right now. I keep one in the car for quick grocery ideas.)
• Sunglasses (A must for driving and they look cool too – LOL!)

C’mon, you can do it!  Get in the habit of keeping the healthy stuff in the car and the drive thru crankies will be a thing of the past!
