Ryan at POM Wonderful sent me an amazing sample - a case of 8 oz. POM juices. Me and Austin put it in the fridge and immediately gave them a whirl. WE'RE FANS! As you know, I don't normally drink calories unless they're alcoholic (true story), but I wanted to try these! I think they're awesome - tastes like a flavorful apple juice + cranberry juice combo, but no acidity (which I hate; nothing like a sip that hurts the inside of my mouth - eek!). It was smooth and something i'd definitely drink again. Austin was probably a bigger fan than me. He said he's "missed juice." Oops! I thought this was very interesting (found on the POM Wonderful website): click to make larger!
Perhaps this had to do with the lack of acidity? I don't know, but this definitely makes a case for POM to me. Also, how cute is the bottle? I mean really! LOL Anywho - great product!!
Q: Have you ever tried POM Wonderful?!
So all that went down yesterday was work, 4 miles during lunch and more work. All of the food was cooked, Reuben was groomed, the house was cleaned - so it was just CHILL TIME with Austin. Love it. I ended up at 1,780 calories, 288 carbs, 42 fat grams and 71 protein grams. LOTS of carbs - don't know what happened there. I was REALLY hungry but that's a bit too much snacking. Next time i'll have more protein instead! Here's what I ate. Oh one more thing - Jenny from Not Just a Pretty Face tagged me to answer these fun questions, then come up with 8 of my own and tag 8 fellow bloggers. Love it!
1. The line from any song that always "gets you". I.e. makes you smile, tear up, feel some emotion, etc. Suddenly I see This is what I wanna be; Suddenly I see Why the hell it means so much to me. That little KT Tunstall song just gets me – makes me want to keep trying!
2. If you could choose any other name than your own, what would you choose? Probably Ryan. I was supposed to be a boy and when I was a girl they went with Kelly. Kinda wished they’d let me rock a “boy name.”
3. Everyone has their hang-ups and being able to admit those, I think, shows a sign of strength and not weakness. What is your biggest weakness and what do you do to work on it? I have several! Spreading myself too thin, holding grudges, putting too much pressure on myself to be what I view as “perfect,” being ‘gossipy’, to name a few. I swear I’m a good person LOL I just want to be a better listener, a better friend and a more full person. These are things I work on!!
4. On the other side- what's your most positive attribute? Probably being dependable – if I can be there I’m THERE. And being loyal – I don’t forget those who have stood by me or helped me and I love to return the favor.
5. The one celebrity who annoys you to NO end! Just one? I guess all of the non-celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Trista that bachelorette girl, Kristin Cavallari (sp?). I just find it annoying that they don't seem to be talented at anything? I don't get it!
6. If you could dedicate a song to anyone right, now what would that song be and to whom? Jack Johnson’s Banana Pancakes to Austin!
7. If you could own one memorabilia item from the set of ANY movie, what would that item be? Oh wow – do cars count as memorabilia?? How about clothes from a TV series? If so, everything from Carrie and Charlotte’s closets on SATC!
8. If you were forced to be addicted to ONE thing- what would you hope that thing would be? Vegetables or cardio. Talk about making my life easy!

I love Pom Juice. I had it for the first time two years ago and although I was at first scared by the sugar, carbs and calories, I realized it was healthy for me to dring sparingly :-) The POM wonderful folks also sent me a case of the juice, but they sent me the Pom/Blueberry flavor, which I hadn't tried before. I think I actually like it BETTER than regular Pom.
HAHA I foudn this typo in your post. And I'm not pointing it out because I think you suck, but because it was funny and made me laugh :-)

Just got caught up on all your old posts- I love your new kitchen, and the bachelorette party looks like so much fun!!

Here are my 8 questions:
1. If you had the whole day to yourself what 3 things would you do?
Like most of the ladies, I would do a spa day: massage (love them), facial, and main/pedi - I'm counting the mani/pedi as one.
2. What's your favorite ab exercise?
I love the roll up/v-up combo. When you're laying on your back, you roll up and stretch over to your toes. Then you move backward (just until your lower back touches the floor) and bring your arms and feet together for a "v-up" --- if that makes any sense.
3. Protein powder - yay or nay?
YAY! I like Muscle Milk light. I don't drink it like I used to - too many calories but a great snack to keep you full and help rebuild.
4. What are your Labor Day plans?
LOL - when's Labor Day?
5. Do you run? If so, do you have any running goals?
Running a full marathon...oy! I always feel certain I can do it... while I'm drinking!
6. What's your favorite stretch?
You know I love some stretches! But honestly, the one that "feels" the best to me especially now with all the running is like the camel/half camel. I gotta stretch the inside of my calves/shin muscle. I also love to stetch my feet - often overlooked.
7. What's your motto?
Carpe Diem - seize the day - it's on my ID running badge on my shoe. The badge just identifies me incase I drop dead whilst running...which is always possible.
8. Do you play an instrument? If so, which one? If not, do you wish you did?
OH I WISH I DID. I'm so not talented. :( I'd love to be able to burst out with some piano.
1. If you had the whole day to yourself what 3 things would you do? Sleep, Shop and Drink a lot of wine.
2. What's your favorite ab exercise? I like side crunches.
3. Protein powder - yay or nay? NAY
4. What are your Labor Day plans? Going to a wedding.
5. Do you run? If so, do you have any running goals? I run sometimes and would like to run a 5K.
6. What's your favorite stretch? Not sure what it's called but it's a glute/hip stretch.
7. What's your motto? Go Big.
8. Do you play an instrument? If so, which one? If not, do you wish you did? No and No. I'd rather be a singer. :)
Labor day is my 2nd wedding anniversary, so the hubby and I are going to spend the day doing something fun!
1. If you had the whole day to yourself what 3 things would you do? Sleep late, watch chick flicks, tan and read chick lit
2. What's your favorite ab exercise? none! lol
3. Protein powder- some.
4. What are your Labor Day plans? Not sure yet- probably the beach and camping
5. Do you run? If so, do you have any running goals? I do run- ran a 5k last year- once the house is finished- maybe another 5k in the works
6. What's your favorite stretch? Any!
7. What's your motto? Live life to the fullest every moment!
8. Do you play an instrument? If so, which one? If not, do you wish you did? I used to both sing and play the piano both without lessons- it just came natural to me- I haven't done either in forever, so it wouldn't be a pretty sight I'm afraid.
