...felt really guilty I hadn't posted lately.

I wanted this to be a daily blog and boy, has it fallen short. Iwill still shoot for daily, but mostly likely it will be "frequently" updated.

I have tried many different products in my functional food test and I am glad I started it. If I hadn't I might have not known I liked these types of foods/beverages. I did recently find a very most favorite bar: Cookie Dough Balance Bar. Seriously delicious. It had about 250 calories, but it had so many vitamins and it actually tasted like cookie dough. Yummmm. I wish I bought more than one because I want one right now. They were on sale at Fred Meyer for only a buck. I will definitely be buying more.

Since starting this quest, I notice that I feel pretty good most of the time. It has helped me keep weight off and when I choose one of these snacks or soups I feel like I have made a very healthy choice.

So now - I will continue eating and evaluating these foods, but I am starting a new test. I recently got Tree Top as a client because they are launching a new functional beverage - Tree Top trim. I really like it for the taste, low calories, metabolism boost and fiber, but I want to know it works and want to test what happens if I drink it every day. I want to see if I lose weight. I am not typically a juice drinker, but my new goal is going to be every time I am in the mood for a snack or dessert I am going to pour a glass of this juice.

I'll keep the blog updated on what I think of it, but I also wanted to disclose they are a client so I wasn't treating it like the other functional food tests.

I got started today and so far, the juice as a snack and dessert has worked. I haven't still needed something after I finished it. We'll see how it is tomorrow...
