Exercise Can Be Fun with #SweetSwaps
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for the SPLENDA® Brand. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All opinions and reviews are my own.”
How many times do you actually get together with friends and do something that is good for you. Yea sitting and chatting with one another is good but I am talking about being physically active with your friends.
There is one friend that I totally admire. She has given me the courage to break out of this rut that I am in and start moving. Her weight loss journey has been just that.
We have been on a total exercise train lately. Did you know that you need to sneak in exercise whenever you can? You can even sneak it in while doing housework. Exercise is always better with friends. Whether it is swimming, hiking, walking, walking the dogs, chasing kittens, cleaning the house or even having a paint war. You can sneak exercise in.
Paint wars are a lot of fun. You just grab a few friends and a few bottles of paint and go to town. You put the paint on your hands and start a game of tag with your friends.
It is a fun and messy way to sneak exercise in your routine as well as having a blast with your friends. Plus there is the added bonus of having one of a kind works of art to add to your wardrobe.
After a hearty game of paint war, you want to keep those good vibes going with an awesome snack. And what better way to prepare a snack than to use fresh fruit and SPLENDA®. Did you know that swapping just one cup of sugar with one cup of SPLENDA® can save you over 600 calories? When I found that out I wanted to make that I used SPLENDA® in the snack. I found this very easy recipe on SWEETSWAPS.COM™ that was such a hit with the girls. That I can’t wait to try it again.

Paint wars sound like such a fun way to get exercise! I definitely need some motivation!
I actually do bake with Splenda a lot. I Love that it helps me cut down on calories.
We LOVE having paint wars, it is a great way to encourage exercise without it being soo boring!
I love a parfait dessert or breakfast. That looks very good.
I love using splenda in as much as I can!! I also love yogurt and fruit parfaits. I make them often they are really good and my kids think they are just amazing!
What a nice healthy dessert. My parents use Splenda in their coffee, they have been for years.
I do love parfaits!
And I think the best kind of exercise is when you don’t even really know you’re exercising – because you’re having so much fun.
Mmm… I love making parfaits 🙂
I have a homemade granola recipe that I like to mix in with my fruit and yogurt.
Just the right amount of crunchy and sweet 🙂
WHen a post starts out that exercise is fun, you have my attention – looks like a creative way to stay motivated. It is back on the Gazelle Glider for me.
I truly love granola. It’s so good for me haha. Your 100% correct exercise is so important. I tend to slack off this time of the year when its too hot. I don’t mind the winter but when its 100 out. It knocks me out:)
That looks yummy. I rarely use sugar.
This looks tasty. My husband is a huge Splenda fan.
I’ve been working on eating more healthy this year – overall it is going fairly well.
When I get together with my friends, it’s to drink wine. HEHEh. nothing healthy …
I really enjoy working out. I do it every day and if I have to skip a day, I don’t feel as energized. And I do like to use Splenda too!
I have always wanted to participate in a paint war or something similar. Making exercise fun just makes you want to keep exercising!
These yogurt parfaits look delicious! I love substituting Splenda for sugar whenever possible. Adds a nice amount of sweetness without the carbs of sugar.
You’re right! I also sneak in a little exercise by parking farther away from stores than I normally would to have to walk more. I also prefer to take stairs instead of escalators too to get in a little extra exercise.
I sometimes use Splenda when baking. I especially love the brown sugar blend!
What a fun race and the Parfait snack looks delicious too!
It is always loads of fun. This is how they normally end their soccer season.
We eat yogurt parfaits a lot for breakfast. so good!
