How cute is my new strainer?

It’s perfect for rinsing beans, sliced veggies, fruit, and smaller amounts of pasta.

Also, my new grill pan, compliments of my Aunt who knew how much I would love such a heavy duty tool.

and by heavy, I mean heavy.

You would not want to get hit over the head by a crazy Italian woman with this cast iron cooker.

corri!!

Today’s workout was all about the legs. Squat-erday..my favorite.

Rock Hard Hammie's

I refueled with a hot bowl of Peanut Protein Oats topped with blueberries and ground cinnamon for muscle recovery.

  • 1 scoop vanilla Sunwarrior
  • 2 tbsp. peanut flour
  • 1 cup water

warmed me right up!

Well, I’m off to enjoy this chilly, but beautiful first weekend of November.

Remember to set your clocks back tonight! We get one extra hour of sleep :)

So long late day sunshine…

Blueberry Muffin Mug Cake

  • 2 T Coconut Flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup blueberries

It is so so so important to fuel your body both before, and after your workouts.

If you have no food in your belly, your body will naturally turn to your muscles for energy, eating them away and hindering your progress.

This is not what you want!

You’ve spent time building those muscles, protecting your bones, and creating a fit, toned physique. Don’t waste your time by neglecting to eat before you train.

A carb, healthy fat, and some protein is the way to go.

You will feel stronger, last longer, and get an overall better workout if you EAT EAT EAT! Plus, you will get better results, which is what we all want, right?

My pre-workout snack consisted of plain Greek yogurt mixed with cinnamon and raw almond butter, spread onto a gluten free rice cake.

Feed your muscles. Feel energized. Get a great workout.

It’s that simple.

Now go work those gorgeous legs of yours Smile
