This day I love.......: try

For some time now I have been wanting to improve my fitness and general health. Along with running I have decided to try out a few other methods to see what works, what they are really like and if I see any health or fitness benefits.

My fitness journey was kick started this weekend when I visited the Predator Nutrition store in Leeds. The staff have finally helped me to understand more about protein and other health benefits. I tried my first ever protein shake in Syntha-6 edge and was pleasantly surprised by the taste. In fact this lead me to purchase 3 protein bars to try, which I shall let you know how I get on with.

The shake remind me of Angel delight and I was therefore really pleased to know it was low in sugar. I cannot wait to try the protein bars, in particular the cookie and cream flavour.

Over the next few months I am going to be documenting how I find the following:

- Vibration plate training

- Ultra sonic Cavitation

- Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Training Guide

- Jillian Michaels - Extreme Shed and Shred

- 10 minute workout DVDs

I have purchased all of the above for my own use and have decided to record my own journey and hopefully provide some insight into others as they begin theirs. If you have any health or fitness products [that are caffeine free] that you would like me to try, then please do get in touch thisdayilove@gmail.com

I have a very fussy eater at home. My eldest has always been the same, she goes through phases of eating very little and then will eat everything. Her latest phase is to say everything is yuk and then the next day it be her favourite thing. We were asked to try fruit heroes,which are a natural healthy on the go snack.

Fruit heroes are a range of healthy lunchbox snacks which contain only naturally grown ingredients. They have no added sugar, preservatives, colourings, salt, sulphur dioxide and see gluten and dairy free. They are not cooked or baked and are high in fibre, they are also suitable for coeliacs and vegans. They even count towards 1 of your 5 a day.

Fruit heroes sound like the perfect snack solution. They don't get bruised or squashed like fruit does and they are still healthier and lower in sugar than other quick snack alternatives like crisps and biscuits. Of course i would love to give my children fresh fruit for a snack but it isn't always possible and fruit heroes seem a very good healthy alternative.

I tried the fruit heroes and was impressed that I could taste the fruit from each bar. I found them quite sweet so was surprised that there was no added sugar and I have actually started having these as a snack instead of the usually biscuits. I thought it would be interesting to video my daughters reaction to trying them for the first time.

Her favourite is Apple and raspberry and she ate the rest of the bowl after filming, typical kids!

We were sent some samples of Fruit heroes to try. All words are my own opinion

It's always good to try new things and new experiences. My youngest decided she would try to eat two ice creams, one hers and one she took from her sister. For her it was a lovely experience
