Non Scale Victories This Week

During last night's LIIFT 4 Shoulders workout, I saw an improvement over last weeks shoulder presses.  I was unable to do the 2nd and 3rd sets last week overhead after about 3-4 presses.  My left shoulder would literally fall like I'd lost all muscle control with 10 lb weights.  Yesterday I used the same 10 lbs and it wasn't until the 7th rep on the second set that I started to feel bad fatigue but pushed through.  On the third set my shoulders were shot but I was still able to push overhead even if slower.  I pushed to fatigue but didn't have that dangerous muscle drop I had before. The zinnias I grew from seed are mostly in full bloom and I took some pics before cutting some to put in a little vase.

Food Review: Back to Nature Multigrain Flaxseed Seeded Flatbread Crackers

When I went to grab our favorite crackers we occasionally use for tuna salad, they were out.  

Womp womp...

We love the Back to Nature brand and thought we'd give one of the other varieties a try...


Here's a peek at the nutritional info...


You can see the fat it does have are the beneficial ones which is always a plus.

Our usual stone ground seeded crackers are the size of normal crackers but these are longer so it feels like you're getting more.  Each flatbread is like getting 2 1/2 regular sized crackers.


They are nice and sturdy to hold up to my tuna salad for lunch and though they have slightly less sodium than the other crackers (30mg less), it doesn't taste bland.


They would also be perfect for an after workout snack with some apple and cheese slices or peanut butter.  Whatever your preference!


I'd say it's pretty likely we'll be buying these again!  They would make for a nice change in texture and size for cheese plates for entertaining with a healthier twist as well!

Have you tried Back to Nature crackers?  What are your favorite crunchy snacks?

    I have those packed for my lunch with my tuna today so I get to try them and I'm looking forward to it now since you like them. They do look really good with the cheese and apples. Yum!

    I have some that look like those in my cupboard that I like a lot, but they're a different brand. I like crackers of all kinds and popcorn as crunchy snacks.

      I love crackers too (except I need to give Triscuits another try) and love me some TJ's Lite Kettle Corn!

    I like spicy roasted chickpeas, Marys Gone Cracker's with goat cheese or hummus, and spicy popcorn. I guess I really just like salty and spicy! (Also, I'm a first time reader. Love your posts and realness! I love reading blogs to see what's working for others and feel like we're similar in our approach. I'll be back!)
