While grocery shopping this past weekend, I got PowerBar Energy blasts, so I figure it would be the perfect test! I ate two and waited to feel the extra energy. I had heard that you should drink extra water when taking these, but I forgot so I started to get a headache. I downed about 12 oz. of water and felt so much better! I got dressed and cranked my music up and off I went. My new song, Call Me Maybe - don't judge, came on in the first couple of minutes and I found myself running faster! It's amazing how a good song pushes you to keep going or pick it up a notch. What I didn't realize was how hot and humid it actually was, so I was dripping sweat and dying. Maybe I pushed myself too hard in the beginning or maybe it was just the weather, but I cut it short and only did 2.5 miles. Still happy I went out there, though!Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Energy in a chew?!
Yesterday was my mom's first day not there - she's babysitting my niece two days a week now that my sister-in-law went back to work. And of course that's the day the phone decides to ring off the hook. But all in all, it was a decent day. The weather couldn't make up it's mind - pouring rain then sun and back again. My mood is really effected by the weather, so I felt tired just from staring at the dark skies all day. By the time I left work the sun was starting to break through more and more so I thought there was a chance of a run. Alas the rain held up, and now I just had to convince myself to get out there!

Were the energy blasts good? I want to get some, but I am worried they are gonna be nasty.
ReplyDeleteI think they're really good, actually. Just make sure you drink water with them!
DeleteI bought some of the Gatorade energy chews, and some of the powerbar energy gel....the gatorade ones were okay, but the energy gel was NASTY! I'd be interested to know how the energy blasts taste!
ReplyDeleteI have the Gatorade ones in my pantry to try. Maybe I'll try them before my next workout. So there's a power bar energy gel, too? Hmm.. The blasts were yummy, at least I think the raspberry were!
