Yesterday I ate at Subway again for the first time in ten years. I was on a road trip coming back from a biking/climbing in Moab and ran out of my food I took with me to avoid eating truck stop and fast food. Not too many healthy options while on the road and Subway seemed like the best choice.
As soon as I ordered my veggie sub on multi grain bread I knew exactly what I was eating.
On the menu there was a picture of “Jared”, the once overweight guy who is now skinny, offering his favorites for a calorie reduced menu. The truth is, each option was void in healthy calories and only provided simple carbs to leave the consumer feeling tired and in need of more food. And to think I could have added chips and a big pop for only $2 more. Back ten years ago I would have taken advantage of this option, but you can’t get me on that one anymore.
Check out this amazing post from my friend “snack girl” who gives you the lowdown on Subways subs.

Do you think you eat healthy? Most people do. I am sure you eat healthy to some extent, but without exercise, no amount of healthy eating is going to keep you in top shape
Proper nutrition is crucial for abundant health, but without a healthy dose of exercise, you will never achieve your desired health goals.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and average adult needs at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity every week. This might sound like a lot to some, but the reality is if you were to take a brisk walk for 30 minutes 5 days a week you would reach 150 with ease. Still sounds like too much? Why not starts with a 20 minute walk 3 times a week and work up to the 150 minutes.
You can come up with all the excuses you want, but until you get up and move you will not get to where you want to go.
Exercise, in combination with my 80/20 rule of eating whole foods (outlined in my e3 for Life book), will set you up for having no problem losing those few extra pounds, attaining abundant energy or relieving a little bit of stress.
Call a friend and make plans for a brisk walk around your block for tomorrow morning before work. Talk to a co-worker and start a walking group for this week. There is no shortage of ideas and ways to get active.
In this video I am going to show you how easy it is to use two ingredients to make your own power bars that will boost your energy and allow you to stop the mid afternoon crashes.
2 Ingredient Power Bars
Dates & Whole Oat Groats
I soaked 2 cups of chopped pitted dates & 1 cup of raw whole oat groats separately in water overnight. In the morning I placed them into a food processor with just a 1/2 cup of the water the dates soaked in. Blend them together to create a paste. I then layed the mix out on my dehydrator trays and dehydrated for 24 hours. Once done, they will be more like power crackers than power bars. Place in your freezer and eat them as a high energy snack throughout your day.
