On its last limb

by Fitnessista on October 30, 2008

in slacker mcslakerson

My laptop.

It’s been there for me through a lot since I got it for high school graduation! But it is slowly dying…

Every day it freezes at least 5 times and I have to shut it off and turn it back on!! It took me an hour to make an aerobics CD yesterday! We have a desktop upstairs, but its burner is broken.. and it’s a desktop :/

So I must bid it adieu to the old computadora and replace it with a newer, pink model. I’ve been given pilot approval to get a new computer, which is going to be a little project for tomorrow :D

So until then, I’m not going to load any new pics (posting last night’s blog was a little rough), and decided to copy, errr, follow the genius examples of Meghann and Erin (and whoever else has done this) in asking all of the lurkers to step out into the comment light.

Hello, lurkers!

I’ve got a question for you: what is your favorite bar??

If you don’t like bars, you can just say "I don’t like bars"

Mine is Peanut Marshmallow Eclipse Pure Protein :D

I just want to see how many new "faces" are out there! And another thing: you can win a lil prize!

*Just leave a comment below with your favorite bar and I’ll use the random integer generator to pick a winner, reach into the pantry stash of bars (I’ve got a ton in there), pick 3 different ones and send them your way!!!

All for a comment?! Yep :D

This should be fun… I’m anxious to see if there are any pilot lurkers out there.

See ya tomorrow on a brand spankin’ new computer,

G

Hi…my name is Lesley…and I’m a Lurker. My favorite bars are all fo the z bars, but I wish they had more fiber or protein…or BOTH! I try to limit how many of them I have because I don’t think the nutritionals are very good. But they are TASTY…

Sacramento Lurker Here –

Actually lurker is a bit of a misnomer. How about not very talkative regular reader who comes for the food and fitness inspiration. And thank you!

Kashi TLC Crunchy Granola Bars in Pumpkin Spice Flax. I am a fool for pepitas!

Thank you for doing what you do here and for being an inspiration.

XOXO

I thought I left a comment yesterday but don’t see it here! Not a lurker anymore…!!

Not a big fan of “bars” but just bought some Clif bars and am going to have one preworkout tomorrow A.M.

Wow I have to pick one bar?! Hehe impossible! Well, I really enjoy Larabars, especially cashew cookie, pecan pie, and peanut butter cookie. I also like the Pure Protein line, especially the peanut butter marshmallow flavor. A recent new discovery is the Zone Perfect dark chocolate bars — they taste like a chocolate bar, but have 24 g of protein!!

My all-time favorite (for now, anyway) is the Halvah bar in any of the 3 flavors I’ve seen (vanilla, chocolate, or marble). I think they’re supposed to be treat bars only, but if they are, they’re really healthy! It’s a bar made from ground sesame seeds and is not only deeelicious, but has good protein and healthy omega fats. Check out their website — I’d love to know what you think! http://www.halvah.biz/

I’m a lurker, too! Ha ha I just started reading everyone’s blogs and I love them. I don’t eat too many bars currently beacuse I am trying to have more “real” food but I used to eat Luna bars almost everyday as well as the occasional Odwalla bar (I haven’t seen those on the blogs) and I still eat Larabars. I should try out the Z bars, though since everyone seems to love them! Have a great night!

Hi Gina!
I'm a "newer" reader , I've been reading your blog for about a month. I was so happy to stumble on it as I have a lot of similiar interests – nutrition, dancing, running (& a love/appreciation of vino! :)

My favorite bars: tied between the peanut butter pretzel cliff bar (which I sometimes have a tough time finding in Philadelphia)& chocolate chip z-bars.

I love this idea because I often burn myself out on my favs & need some new bar ideas.
Thx!
