BeefFit, BeefFast + Soleus Mini GPS #Giveaway

A couple of beefy happenings going on in my life this week – let me share! First up, a guest blog post I wrote for Beef Loving Texans, go check it out. Basically, I talk about my philosophy of NOT dieting in a restrictive way, but instead focusing on filling my plate with wholesome and real foods. You’ll also find some other good tips on portion control and serving sizes along with a crazy-easy breakfast recipe for a super thin frittata that cooks up on a baking sheet.

I have another guest post today on Core Power about how beef is a super food for SUPER ATHLETES! The folks at Core Power totally understand the benefits of beef for an active lifestyle – it was like preaching to the choir. Some days I time to grill up a steak, other days I rely on their high protein shakes for convenient refueling after a workout.  Whether beef or a shake, getting enough protein is crucial to muscle recovery after exercise. Protein helps build back damaged muscle tissue, reduces cortisol levels and, when eaten in tandem with carbohydrates, helps the body to efficiently replenish glycogen stores.

Soleus Mini GPS - Jennifer Fisher - TheFitFork.comNow, I’m excited to tell you about my new Soleus GPS Mini watch. Now, when I say “mini,” I definitely don’t mean that this watch skimps on functionality, not at all! Instead it has a welcomed petite and streamlined silhouette that is NOTHING like that old dinosaur GPS I had been wearing for years. Soleus Running is totally right when they say “big things come in little packages,” — they are referring to the size of watch, but it also applies to the possible end result of wearing this watch – a PR.  IF you are a runner or triathlete of any ability, you know exactly how BIG of a deal that even a super small 1 or 2 second PR can be and this GPS watch can help you get there.  Big things DO come in little packages!

Anyway, onto the awesomeness of this cute GPS watch. It does everything I need it to. It keeps tables on my speed, distance and pace. It has a 100-lap memory, automatic lap slips, a calorie counter, simple 4-button interface, weighs less than 2 ounces, costs only around $100, comes in a variety of colors and more – check out all the other features here. Plus, awesome Olympic runner mama Kara Groucher wears one AND on the back plate the watch says “Sweat can be sexy,” so ‘nuff said.

  14. I’ve always been a Garmin girl. Would love to try Soleus. I’m a triathlete and data junkie! I think those two are redundant.

  15. I love running with a gps watch, especially in areas that i don’t know well and don’t know the distance, it helps me make sure I go slower places on easy days too, I tend to run too fast otherwise

  16. I NEVER HAD OR USED A GPS WATCH. I THINK I WOULD LOVE IT FROM READING THIS AMAZING ARTICLES.

  17. I’ve never worn a GPS watch before, but this looks a lot cooler than some of the old Garmins that were huge.

  18. I just got the Garmin Forerunner 220 for Christmas- I have worn it a small handful of times as I am running on the treadmill right now but I have found it to not be as accurate on the treadmill as it is outside.

  19. This is a great review. I do not have a GPS watch, but i do have a garmin gps. Her ‘voice’ name is Samantha and she cannot take me from point A to point B without going down a few alleys, dead end streets and ‘off ramps’ that don’t exist. I would use this watch more for calories burned, pace/speed and distance.

  20. I love garmins but they always seem to have problems. I am looking for a good replacement watch.

  21. I HAVEN’T WORN A GRP WATCH BEFORE BUT I WOULD LOVE TO TRY IT, I HAVE A FITBIT NOW BUT THAT DOES NOT TRACK MY TIME.

  25. I have never worn one before. I have worn a fitness tracker. I dislike sleeping in it since i tend to wack myself in the face with it.
