Rice Thins is encouraging women to get outside, get fit and spend time with friends with their new Sweat & Snack program. Designed for women on the go (who isn’t ‘on the go’ these days?), the program features their new Brown Rice Crsips and a kit packed with exercise equipment that is small enough to take with you.
I find that most times when I consider doing something for myself, I feel such a sense of guilt. It’s not guilt that anyone but me is placing on myself, but I still feel it at times. There is always something that needs to be done and taking time for yourself before everything is in order can cause some guilty feelings.
On the other hand though, taking time for yourself can rejuvinate you, it can make you healthier and happier. I always try to remind myself that my husband and daughter deserve me at my best and sometimes to be at my best, I need to place myself in a time-out and start anew.
Rice Thins Brown Rice Crisps are a great alternative to chips. Containing a source of fibre, they are gluten-free, baked (not fried) and they are low in saturated fat and have zero trans fat and zero cholesterol. They also come in three great flavours (Sweet Mesquite Barbecue, Sour Cream & French Onion, and Sea Salt & Pepper).
My favourite is the Sour Cream & French Onion because I am such a fan of Sour Cream on anything! Baby Bird mostly just licks the topping off her crisps, but the rest of us in the house enjoy the crisps a lot.
So that’s that snack portion of getting healthy, now on to the sweat…
Personal trainer Jo-Ann James (Vital Steps Inc.) has developed the Sweat & Snack program which includes four unique workout circuits tailored specifically to women that integrates easy-to-use equipment including an exercise ball, jump rope, resistance band and yoga mat.
In addition, the program also provides women with healthy snacking and health and wellness tips to ensure they have inspiration to maintain a healthier lifestyle! My favorite health and wellness tip is to put yourself on the agenda. I was just looking at my calendar for the next month and realized I don’t have any days just set aside for me – I’m working on fixing that now!
So make sure you put yourself on the top of your priority list this year, get out and get active with your friends.
Want to try them for yourself? I thought so.
The people at Christie want to help you out with the snack portion of their new Sweat & Snack movement and they are offering the three Brown Rice Crisps flavours to five lucky readers.
