99th New Thing - Ballet Physique

We have a Wellness Program at work where they provide instructors to teach 1 hour classes at noon such as Pilates, Yoga, Zumba, Cycling, etc throughout the week. Today, was a special treat where they brought in a 2 instructors from Ballet Physique. This is a exercise program that combines strength training, stretching, Pilates, and classical ballet. The 60-minute class led us through a series of calorie-burning intervals designed to work specific muscle groups to the point of fatigue. Then, the muscles are guided through a round of relaxing stretches to create a body that is not only strong and toned, but flexible. Ballet Physique improves posture and core strength—key components in attaining the lean look of a ballerina. Afterwards, they also raffled free gift bags. Sometimes, work isn't so bad after all!

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?
