Peanut Butter Bites
These are THE BOMB!
Use as pre-workout or to satisfy your PB craving, or to replace your addiction to protein bars with an all-natural, low sugar, homemade option. And kids love them too!
Recipe
Mix all ingredients in large bowl:
- 1 cup Just Great Stuff powdered PB (or PB2. Both available at Amazon.com)
- 1/2 cup all-natural Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 6 packets Stevia
- 1 scoop superfood Vanilla Shakeology
- 1 cup dry oatmeal
Mix well. Form into golf-ball sized bites. Freeze for 1-2 hrs and keep frozen.
When you want one, let it stand for 30 seconds to thaw a little.
Makes ~12-15. They’re ~80-100 calories each and ~8g protein.
Do You Cut Your T-Shirts?
Do you cut your T-SHIRTS?
I took this turbo tank and cut 3 slits in it and then just pulled the back together tight with a rubberband.
It’s ok if you hate it, I like it and there’s no going back!LOL. I messed up a lot of T’s but it’s fun when/if it works out!
PB & J
Who LOVES PB & J ?!?!
I used Ezekiel toasted English muffin (check freezer section), a clean organic strawberry spread from WholeFoods and “Just Great Stuff” (Amazon) instead of real PB since it was just a pre-workout small meal/snack.
Date Night
Great date day and night with my husband!
But I’m SO full! !! I promise you won’t see my midsection for days! It’s all good though; no guilt because I rarely overindulge like that -very special occasions only!
Thank you for all the sweet comments on my last post!
Workout T’s With Ruching
You’ve seen dresses with “ruching” but have you seen workout T’s with ruching?!? Genius!
This one I’ve DRENCHED in sweat is Nike. Some workout tops are SO tight that any bit of flab shows.. No thank u! Others are SO loose, you look 20lbs heavier.
I think I want one of these in every color! On a shopping spree Matt today celebrating our anniversary and these are on my list!
Outside Office
Do you ever move your office outside?
It was such a gorgeous day to just work from my phone outside while our son and friends swam.
I love being outside, but I can’t believe school is starting back up for our son already! Summer was wayyyy too short!
Because You Love Your Body
Are others not supporting your goals or are YOU the one not supporting your goals?
Don’t put so much pressure on yourself to look a certain way. Be inspired to be your best YOU but it’s a waste of your time to get down about your current body composition or fitness level.
Your current body is a result of what you’ve been doing in the PAST- i.e. the past weeks, months, years. It’s NOT a reflection of your where you’re headed in the future if you take action NOW. So get busy moving forward:)
The Key is to Start
Did you workout and eat well today?? Are weekends tougher for you?
I just finished a monster workout and could just COLLAPSE from exhaustion, yet I feel on top of the world at the same time.
Some of your best thoughts, ideas and motivation will come to you during a workout and afterwards; you feel less stressed and more focused on your goals.
The key is to start.
Pretend It’s Easy
Who has time for an ineffective workout?! Not me! Improve on something. Add something new! Push past your normal weight, reps, and/or improve range/depth.
Don’t just go thru the motions. Your body adapts to that wayyy too easily.
