If you haven’t tried any of the Skinny Cow
ice cream products, you are missing out!! Most have about 140 calories
and 3 g. of fiber per serving! 2 WW points and absolutely delicious!

Deceptively Delicious cookbook by Jessica
Seinfeld. It uses vegetable purees to make all meals healthier, without
anti-veggie kids being any the wiser. I spent today making sweet potato
and butternut squash purees.
V8 Fusion fruit/vegetable drink is a hit with
my girls and packs a full serving of fruit and (more importantly) vegetables
in every serving. Try Strawberry Banana or Acai Berry.
My marathon training friend Jill e-mailed me
immediately with her own “favorite” to add to my list. Jill swears by
the Gentle Leader dog collar for all of you who run with your
pooches. Her retriever Chief doesn’t even go after the squirrels and
her daughters are able to walk Chief with peace of mind. Find it at
www.petsmart.com
Premier Gentle Leader Dog Collar $19.99
I like the Polar heart rate monitor
because many of the cardio machines at the gym are Polar compatible-
strap it on and the treadmill will display your heart rate on the screen.

Women’s Polar F4 Heart Rate Monitor $89.99
For Mother’s Day 2004, my husband gave me the
Garmin Forerunner GPS which tracks my pace and mileage as I run.
While mine is a bit bulky, the newer models are more streamlined. Awesome
for keeping track of your long runs during marathon training!

Garmin Forerunner 205 $199
I don’t do any run over 10 miles without
Body Glide, or the insides of my thighs (which sometimes rub together,
thank you very much) will be very sorry.

Body Glide $7.99
My sister Leslie made No Pudge! Fat-free
brownies this summer for me. Yes, they are fabulous (and only 2
points on WW) and a great discovery. Check out their website for stores
in your area that sell it: www.nopudge.com
