I think the snack size Larabars are good as a morning snack. I tend to want my morning snacks to be a bit smaller because I eat them so close to lunch. My afternoon snacks tend to be a bit larger nutrition-wise because it has to hold me longer until dinner. Good question!

I do the EXACT same thing and is something that I'm really trying to stop. I end up just wishing away time. My yoga instructor actually brought up a similar point in class tonight that really made me think. She talked about how in yoga many people just focus on the actual postures rather than the whole process of getting into a posture and moving between postures. The breathing and the flow is just as important as the actual pose. We all need to appreciate the moments leading up to big events (aka "the little things") because these are just as important and special as the big moments. In fact, looking back we usually do wish that we remembered the little, simple things in life. Let's make it a goal for the rest of the summer to really try to appreciate things WHILE they are happening rather than wishing the time away and the undoubtedly looking back in regret that we didn't savor the small stuff. And now about your fortune: Here is an exciting secret (well not really a secret, or too exciting actually...) but the best way I've found to cut a mango is by using a vegetable peeler and peeling the skin away. Then using a big knife to cut the mango away from the pit (be careful, it's really slippery!) and finally cutting the mango into little chunks. And the best, best, best part is sucking the pit (that's the ripest, sweetest part!) I actually learned this technique from katheats.com--she even has a video!

The mango turned out pretty well - I definitely need to learn to cut it better because those pieces were so big! I've heard from some people that you can eat the skin. I didn't this time around, but maybe I will next time to get some extra fiber! Good luck with yours :) Sharon ~ One of my best friends does the same thing with her fortunes!
