The best thing about these mats are their versatility. You can buy them for the kids play area, the garage, a business, by the pool, as a workout mat and whatever else you can think of where you would want to stand or sit on a comfortable surface (each piece is 13mm thick). I bought them for the garage to place my riding mower on to prevent drips or dirt from getting on the floor.

The eight-piece pack fits together like a puzzle, covers 33.5 square feet, and includes 16 borders. One side is multi-colored in red, yellow, blue and green - fun colors for the kids. The other side is black, ideal for the garage or behind a store counter. I only needed six to fit under the riding mower, so I used the last two under some boxes.

Get it! You can find the foam mats at Sam’s Club stores (not available online) for around $20.

I have been looking for a protein bar that actually has flavor and is not like chewing on cardboard. So I was at Vitamin World and came across these bars - CarbWise Coconut Caramel Crisp. They were on sale so I thought why not. I really need something to help with those 3pm munchies. But I am also trying to watch how much fat I am taking in (yes I am another Sparkpeople.com fan).

I was pleasantly surprised by these bars, they actually taste really good. Now they are higher in fat then I would like, 9g but they are very high in protein 13g which I need for those afternoon munchies. So I am willing to do a trade off for these bars, plus if you need to satisfy your chocolate craving they are available in chocolate s’mores.
