Is a Dehydrator a Good Investment?

Check out the sunrise this morning:

OK – onto the 43 – This was one of those that ended up being more challenging than I had thought it would be! I did a lunge with a twist while holding a medicine ball.

Start standing with ball at chest.

Step into lunge with right leg and push ball straight in front of you.

Twist to right while staying in lunge.

Return to front lunge, stand and bring ball back to chest for 1 rep.  After doing 43 with my right leg, I still had another set of 43 with the left!!!

I think that the hardest part of this was keeping my arms up.  I used an 8 pound medicine ball and it was hard to keep pushing my arms out and twisting!!

I decided to do a Les Mills Combat workout today – Combat 60 Ultimate Cardio Fighter!  Always a good workout and a quick 60 minutes!!!  I also did Turbo Fire – Abs 10 to get a little core work.

So, I’ve been doing some research into dehydrators.  I’m trying to decide if it is something that I would use.  I know that the boys would like things like dried mangos and other fruits.  What I’m really wondering is if I could use dehydrated food to get rid of my chip addiction!!!

I love potato chips but I don’t love having a jiggle around my middle when I run!!  Therefore, potato chips have to go!!!  I need other  (healthier) snack options! Screen shot 2013-03-21 at 9.12.48 AMAny thoughts on dehydrators?  Do you have one? (and do you use it if you do??) 

Happy Thursday!!!  (Yikes – spring break is flying by!!)
