96th New Thing - Submitted an Article to Newspaper

I recently read an article in the Denver Post about a something-year-old new-CO-resident that challenged herself to workout everyday for one year and blog about it. I thought to myself, hey that sounds familiar, it sounds like my challenge to myself. I decide to write to this blogger to see how the Denver Post heard about her blog. She stated that she wrote them back in October or November. Apparently, it took them a few months to publish the article. Therefore, I decided to do the same. Why shouldn't I put myself out there to try to get published? I went to DenverPost.com to find some email addresses. Here's what I wrote:

"I recently read Kristen Browning-Blas's article "365 Days of Sweat project helps keep her motivated" in the Fitness section, posted on January 9, 2012. The article was about Betsy Salzler's challenge to do 365 new workouts for a year. I have a similar story. In October 2010, I decided to challenge myself to 365 of new things. I do 1 new thing each day and challenged myself to do this for 365 days. Then I blog about it, check it out here, http://patriciabuwen.blogspot.com/. The new thing could be trying a new restaurant, new recipe, new workout, new book, new movie, etc. I was wondering if I could also have an article written about my story. I think what I'm doing is very interesting and people would love to hear about it. Please contact with any further questions or comments to get the story going.

Thanks,
Patty Buwen"

158th New Thing - Tried Sweet Potato Popchips

While we were at Albertsons doing our weekly grocery shopping, there was a lady there giving away free sample bags of Popchips so I took a sample of their Sweet Potato flavor. I had my 0.8 ox bag of Sweet Potato Popchips today with my lunch. Popchips were founded in 2007 in San Francisco as a healthy alternative to traditional potato chips. They aren't fried or baked, but popped by taking potatoes and adding a heat and pressure. They have won awards such as 'Best Snack' from Shape Magazine and 'Best Chips' from Health Magazine. My 0.8 oz bag had 100 calories, 3g fat, 95mg sodium, 16g carbohydrates, and 2g sugar. They had a slightly salted and sweet flavor in the airy chip. It was a good snack with my lunch.   What did you do today?
