    Afternoon Power Snacks, Breakfast, Dinner

    Who knew my brother Chris and sis-in-law Nicole were such crazy Christmas people???

    Oh my gosh their house is a winter wonderland!!! I was in pure heaven. :D :D

    I’m so decorating as soon as we get home!!!!

    I wonder if they carry these at dollarstore?? haha

    Our night was fun! Chris and Nic have my DREAM house. It is a huge log cabin and it is filled with antique furniture. I am in love.

    I always feel like we are staying in a cabin at a ski lodge!

    Our room:

    My stocking!?!?! ;)

    We had great food…I devoured the veggie tray with my ‘gourmet’ dip (which was a huge hit!).

    I’m soooo not used to salty nuts (and there is really no better way I could have said that!!!)

    IMG_6302

    Not a big salt fan. Raw, unsalted nuts rule. lolololol.

    And last but not least…I brought my new HOLIDAY GLO BAR!!! In mini sample bites:

    Everyone raved about them. I’m so excited to reveal them soon!

    We had a mini dance party/workout/gambling…

    Seriously, who has a house like this!?!?

    They do… ;) This is what working a gazillion jobs can get you I guess!

    My brother loves toys.

    Kerrie and I did mini workouts during the night. ;) With Santa and crew apparently…

    IMG_6365   I felt strong!!!

    IMG_6403

    Despite all this booze, I only had 2 beers and 1 shot ALL night!!!! GO ME!!!! I felt so much better than last weekend.

    Harassing our brother…clean faster!!!

    IMG_6456

    I fell asleep just after 2am and was up at 7ish.

    Meet Shekey and Panther:

    I got up and thought about how awesome I would feel if I worked out. And I somehow convinced myself to just go downstairs and do it while everyone was sleeping!!!! I made a green tea and a vitamin water and guzzled both.

    IMG_7481

    Running on 5 hours sleep. The first 20 minutes were brutal (aren’t they always?). I watched Planet Earth (The Future disc). It is the only disc I hadn’t seen yet so I was pumped to watch it. Have you guys watched the Planet Earth series?? Oh my gosh they are a MUST see!!! I switch between feeling awe-inspired and depressed/discouraged all at once.

    I did 50 mins on the elliptical at a very hard resistance/pace (10-14) and I pushed hard. I was dripping in sweat after. I finished with some light yoga and abs:

    After showering, I felt amazing!!!! I had a wonderful brekkie. A plate filled with fruit and my high-protein black eyed pea cakes. I need to tweak this recipe more before I reveal it.

    IMG_7523IMG_7526 IMG_7521IMG_7524

    I had 3 pea cakes and twice the fruit as shown on the plate. Green tea of course.

    I’m currently blogging from the car using Eric’s wireless USB as he is on call for work. Awesome. It sure made this 2 hour drive fly by! We’re almost home…

    Unfortunately, I have to bake 200 Glo Bars today, so there will be no rest for me today! Work hard, play hard.

    ~~~~~~

    A HUGE congrats to the lovely Kath, Tina, Caitlin, and Jenna for taking home Foodbuzz awards!!!!  You ladies are nothing short of inspiring, hard-working, and dedicated role models for so many. Congrats to everyone else who won too (I’m not sure who else did!).

    Peace out!

    Are you big into decorating for the holidays? When do you start?

    For me, the earlier the better. I want to start decorating this week if I can find the time!
