ANYWAY, I have reached the point where I legit want to show my appreciation for all of YOU-- my super smart, sweet, and lovely readers.
I wish I could reach out and give a huge big fuzzy-bear hug to all of you, but that'd just be too impossible.
| My dad and me in the midst of the best bear-hug of my life, overwhelmed with positive emotion after surpassing my goal time and running a 3:30:41 |
I still can't get over how:
- .......amazingly supportive all of you have been through my journey to my FIRST and SECOND marathons in less than one month and my journey to qualify for Boston!
- .......somehow over 100 people are now following the Neon blog
- .......every time I get a comment, I feel so warm and dorky and fuzzy about learning from and getting to know each and every one of you, and re-stalking YOUR blog
- .......I've been lucky enough to win awesome giveaways from Beth, Meggie, Vanessa, Cari, and Amanda (check them all out!)
So in celebration of all of this, I want to share a giant box of my favorite fiber bars (two of each delicious flavor) with ONE LUCKY READER.
Lemme tell you about these TREATS...
Gnu Bars are a delicious BAKED bar with nearly 50% of your daily fiber!
Here's what I love about Gnu Bars:
- 7 scrumptious flavors to choose from (my FAVS are chocolate brownie bar, cinnamon raisin, and espresso chip). Espresso chip has enough coffee bean kick to jump start my day...and I think cinnamon raisin tastes like a frosted cookie.
- Almost 50% of your daily fiber in ONE bar
- only 130 to 140 calories per bar
- amazing crunchy, yet cookie-like soft texture
- fiber can reduce your risk of coronary artery disease by 10-30% for each 10 grams of fiber consumed on a daily basis (American Medical Association)
- fiber helps with digestion, cholesterol levels, weight control, blood sugar levels (American Dietetic Association)
- It's been featured in countless magazines and TV programs (including Dr. Oz, the Today Show, Rachel Ray, Regis and Kelly, Good Morning America)
Sounds scrumptious? Want to win a huge box of Gnu Bars of your own?
The kind folks over at Gnu Bars gave me some of my own Gnu Bars and they would like to provide a lucky reader with a box of 14 Gnu Bars (two of each flavor) of their own! Of course I was NOT compensated for this review, other than my free bars.
