guest thursday: reader madeline jacks

1. Lululemon all sport bra...I know Lulu's a big trend lately, but it really works!

2. Yogurt...I eat some form of yogurt just about every day. A lo-cal snack that is full of protein and tastes pretty darn great too :) My favorite is Faje's non-fat Greek yogurt, with a small drizzle of honey and some slivered almonds.

3. Music when I run...I'm a huge fan of making playlists. My friends joke that it's one of my main "gifts." I have to have something upbeat playing when I'm doing cardio or else my work-outs tend to get cut a little short... :-/

4. 8 Hours of zzzzzzzz's...Sure, it might cut into your social life or free time, but getting the right amount of sleep each night is a must. I'm more alert, alive and enthusiastic about life when I haven't kept my body and mind up too late the night before!

5. Meditation time...For me personally, it's cutting time out of my day for prayer and intimate time alone with God. For others it might mean meditation of a different sort. But my day's are strikingly different when I've started them out on this foot .
