Walk Where You Are

Have down time?  Go for a walk! That's exactly what I did today.  Weekend long dance convention here in Providence. Not far from home maybe 20 minutes to a half hour.  However, not going to pay twice for parking and I do like to be in the area for my daughter in case I'm needed. Not to mention that I will be needed to do the lunch run. 

So on a Sunday morning at 8am when there is no retail open, my dance mom partner in crime is not around and I've already had my morning coffee...what to do, what to do?  A walk it is.

Not dressed for it. Note to self...have workout clothes in the car at all times as  you never know when you will get the urge to exercise.

Dropped the girls at designated point, got the settled and headed out.  Did 4.97 miles in just a tad bit over an hour.  If you are familiar with the area than you will understand the reference points.  Went from the convention center to Federal Hill to Providence Performing Arts Center, to Providence Place Mall.  (if you do not live locally feel free to google, Federal Hill is Rhode Island's Little Italy). Back to the Convention Center, a bit sweaty but feeling really good about myself.

Think I will head over to the mall to get a new shirt and deodarant.  Maybe a new gym bag so that I can always be prepared.

Make every minute count....walk it out.

Just a few sites from todays walk.

Banana Dippers - Product Review

Hello Readers,

I hope you have been following me on my Facebook Page.  Still juggling life, with the journey and exercise and blog and facebook as well as writing.  So even though you may not see a blog for a week or two rest assured I'm still at it and haven't forgotten you.  Pop onto The Road To Thin at Facebook and you'll find me.

You all know how much I LOVE to try new products and I am excited to tell you about the brand new Dole Banana Dippers.

The first time I ever had a frozen chocolate covered banana was in Disney World.  It had to be one of the most delicious frozen treats I've ever had.  You can't find them everywhere. The only other place I know of that sold Frozen Chocolate Bananas is the Munson Candy store in Mystic CT. 

I was clipping coupons the other day and saw a 1.00 off coupon for a new product....Dole Banana Dippers. Banana Slices covered in Dark Chocolate.  My heart skipped a beat.  I could not wait to get to the freezer section in my local grocery store and use my coupon. 

I was very excited but a little hesitant as my last trip to the market did not produce the results I had hoped for with those gross coconut water pops.  yuck!

This was a very different experience.  My tastebuds danced with delight.  I am happy to say that these Dole Banana Dippers are DELISH!

There are 6 packs in a box, 4 slices in a pack and one pack is 100 calories.  They also come with nuts but I opted for no nuts, I think I saved about 20 calories. I'm nuts enough.

This is a perfect summer treat.  

Thank's Dole!
