I wanted to go for a run all day long but it was yucky weather, and sure enough after my treadmill workout & shower the sun came out! That’s always the way isn’t it?
Another confession.
I blew off my SGBC workouts last night! Me and night time workouts just don’t mix! I was tired, feeling blah, and I had bad stomach cramps. There was nothing that could have made me workout last night! lol. I think my body has also been a bit more tired since the 10 miler on Sunday (I know excuses, excuses!), so I am just listening to my body and not pushing it. :D
I think I had a great workout today though despite not wanting to step one foot on that treadmill.
The workout:
- Duration: 50 mins
- Treadmill hill workout, speed 4.0, incline 15%
- Max heart rate: 161 bpm
- Avg heart rate: 148 bpm
- Distance: 3+ miles
After the treadmill workout, I got [almost] caught up on SGBC exercises 23-30. I was pooped afterward.
Look what I wore after my workout:
I couldn’t resist! I am still basking in the glory!!!
After my workout and shower, I had a lovely reward for my hard work!
It was tall, dark, and handsome…
AND of course GREEN!
My focus today was to make a green monster that would be a great workout recovery drink! I upped the protein with extra firm tofu.
Pumpkin Pie Protein Power Green Monster
Ingredients:
- 3 cups spinach (lightly steamed)
- 1 cup soy milk
- 1/2 serving P.C. extra firm tofu (8 grams protein)
- 1/3 cup pumpkin
- 1/2 t-1 t cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- 2-3 T crushed graham crackers (Oh no she didn’t!!!)
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 T pumpkin seeds (optional)
- ice
Oh. Dear. Heaven. was this Green Monster GOOD! It tasted like pumpkin PIE! And it SMELT like pumpkin pie too! Heaven in a glass. I can’t wait to make this one again.
I feel so amazing right now. My belly is full and content.
Eric is almost home with my Uline.ca order! I’m so excited I ordered a hot sealer to seal my glo bar packaging! I also ordered some new bags that will be a better fit. I will reveal some pictures tomorrow morning!
I will be updating the Nutritional Information on Glo Bars again tonight so keep your eyes peeled. I was calculating the nutritional info for my Heaven Peanut Butter Brownie Bomb Glo bars and I made a shocking discovery- these are the lowest in calories out of ALL my bars!!!!!!! I am so shocked because these bars are by far the most rich and indulgent tasting out of all of them.
Enjoy your evening! Hubby is home…yay!! :D
I know this is an older post but I just made a variation of this… 1.5 cups spinach, 1 cup lacinato kale, 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk, splash of light canned coconut milk, 2 tbsp hulled hemp seeds, 1/3 cup pumpkin, 1 tsp cinnamon, pinch nutmeg, tsp blackstrap molasses, touch of pure maple syrup, 1 frozen banana, and 4 ice cubes. Maybe next time I’ll be brave enough to toss in some tofu! ;) And I’m sure graham cracker crumbs would also be an amazing addition. Maybe I’ll try to make some of your vegan graham crackers…
Thank you for inspiring me to put pumpkin in my Green Monsters! It is SO good! :)))
