Perfect Breakfast Snack for Hubby

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Quaker Oats. All opinions are 100% mine.

Working on a graveyard shift is one of my husband's most hated job schedule in his life. He has been working night shift now for three years and still hasn't gotten use to it. You can still hear him complains about it at least once a week. I kept saying that he needs to get use to it and stop complaining. He doesn't have any choice. He needs to be grateful, he has a job. As we know, a lot of people don't have job or couldn't find a job.  I know not being able to sleep at night is bad for his health. Sleeping all day, is not good for him either. He wished that someone in the department where he works would switch schedule with him, but no luck. Nobody wants to work at night, period.

Anyway, during his shift, sometimes he gets hungry, and so he eats some snacks, but most of the time unhealthy snacks. That's one of the reasons why he gained a lot of weight. So,  I told him to eat fruits and veggies for snacks instead of junk foods.  He said that sometimes, he gets bored with those foods. too! I think he needs to alternate them with protein bar which is very popular with busy people like him.  I hope he'll like the new Quaker Soft Baked Bar for it is very delicious.  The banana nut bread flavor as well as the cinnamon pecan bread are loaded with fruits and nuts  that can provide him the fuel he needs as he works on night shift.  This eat on - the- go breakfast snack can be eaten as it is or warm it up for a real bakery experience. I don't really need to choose which one of the two flavors is my favorite, it is because I like both of them. I have baked banana nut bread as well as cinnamon pecan bread and both flavors are pretty good. So why don't you try both of them as well?

These soft baked bars are not only yummy, but also are packed with 5 g of fiber, 6g of protein, excellent source of 5 B - vitamins, and has 140 calories. A wholesome food  for the whole family.

My Healthy Meal

Okay, I am trying to lose weight and be healthy again. To do that, I need to change my lifestyle particularly. Eat a healthy meal, and exercise. So, I try to walk everyday for at least 45 minutes to an hour. I also eat more fruits and vegetables, meat and fish and very little carbs. As you can see on the picture, my plate has more veggies than rice. I also have a small fish.

Watching carefully what I put in my mouth helps me lose weight. Exercise is a big factor, too. I am glad that for the past 6 six now, I already lost 7 pounds. I feel great already. Anyway, the foods on my plate were, fried fish, fresh salsa. stir fry bean sprout, and sauteed squash and Asian long beans. Oh they are all so yummy, indeed :-).

I am really happy that summer is finally here for my family and I  can take a long awaited road trip to somewhere interesting and fun. Well, if you are just as excited as we are, have you ever thought about planning your own roadtrip to the state of Pennsylvania? It turns out that many people who love roadtrips plan to go to that wonderful state because of all the history, the landmarks, the shopping destinations that Pennsylvania has to offer. One of the difficult things about planning pa-roadtrips is that it takes time and it is usually best to know exactly where you will be heading rather than just driving around.

Carpet Cleaning Services

Every time my in-laws visit us, I feel a lot of stress coming. One thing for sure that makes me feel this way is that I have to clean the whole house upside down. My father in-law is very meticulous when it comes to dust. One time he commented on how dusty our ceiling fan was. Since then, husband and I made sure that we clean everything in and outside our house before they got here otherwise he would say something about it. On top of dust, I vacuumed the floors and cleaned the stain on it. It feels good to see the house clean and neat and in order.

Talking about carpet cleaning, I wished there is a company here in Dallas like the round rock tx carpet cleaner. I heard they are very good when it comes to carpet cleaner services. I will definitely call them, so I don't need to do the carpet cleaning myself because this is not an easy job for me. Husband can do this job, but he is very busy at work and even during his day off. For now, I'll do the cleaning myself.
