Good morning!
![IMG_5097 IMG_5097](/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_5097_thumb.jpg)
It’s Friday, right? :) Please?
The Good thing about working on the weekend:
- I don’t feel overwhelmed Monday morning.
The Bad thing about working on the weekend:
- It feels like it should be Friday.

Yesterday, Eric and I both were buzzing around getting all sorts of things accomplished. I don’t know what got into us, but we were on FIYA. Don’t you love days like that? Eric did a ton of housework, laundry, manly things in the basement, and Glo Bar labeling. ;)

I love when he gets in his cleaning-spree moods! I wish I could bottle it…

I was all business baking in the kitchen. I worked on the GF + Raw Glo Bar (getting there!) and I also made 240 Adore Glo Bars.
Stay tuned Tuesday at 10am EST for a limited number of coupons and the release of the variety pack and Adore Glo Bars!
After baking for 10 hours, I had to COOK!
There is nothing worse than having to cook dinner after a day of physical labour. The good thing about living in the sticks is that no restaurants will deliver to you. :mrgreen: I did promise Eric the In A Jiffy Spelt Veggie Burgers! It is a good thing they are ready in a Jiffy…

Before going into the oven…

I processed too long and the burgers got very smooth. I prefer them chunky! Whoops.

I doubled the batch and made large burgers so I cranked up the heat to 400F and cooked 20 minutes on each side until golden brown.

I decided I wanted a mix of delightful toppings so I made this fun mix of salsa, avocado, and roasted red pepper hummus:

Love these burgers! I made 15 patties. Eric and I will enjoy them for lunches this week and I also froze some too.
It was a fabulous meal. I may or may not have snuck a third burger as I was putting them away. They are just so addictive.

This morning I felt like a zombie…
I awoke at 6:30am, but I could have sworn it was more like 2am. I was NOT glowing, my friends. Not glowing, no sir-eee.
I decided there was only one way to remedy this situation!

Deeelish!

Isn’t this measuring cup cute? I have seen oats in measuring cups on a few blogs and I thought a GM would look cute in one!
Time to get crack-a-lackin’. Eric and I are swimming laps tonight- I’m already excited! :) Two months ago, if you told me that I would be swimming laps with my husband on a regular basis (and training for a Try-a-tri) I would have laughed in your face!
Today’s question- Have you done something or accomplished a goal that really surprised yourself and proved your doubts wrong? Are there any doubts you still haven’t proved wrong but want to?
I used to see people running half marathons and I thought to myself that I could never complete one myself. I just didn’t think I had it in me. I really surprised myself when I completed my first two last year and surpassed both of my time goals. I also used to say that I would never do a triathlon. To be honest, it still scares me, but here I am taking small steps each day to hopefully prove myself wrong. You don’t know until you try, right? ;)
Other doubts of mine that I have not proved wrong are running a marathon. I just don’t know if my injury-prone body could handle it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAITLIN!!!

Damn, those burgers look AMAZING!!! Yum!
The Glo Bars looks good – a very productive weekend, indeed. Can’t wait to try some, sometime!
You are such a good wife! If I had to bake 240 of ANYTHING, I can guarantee you we’d be going out for dinner… LOL. btw, like some of your other readers, I also loved the picture of the showering spinach! haha
I just finished my first half and I have to remind myself what an accomplishment that is sometimes. For some reason, I don’t feel like it’s that big of deal I ran 13 miles. However, if you asked me 2 years ago I wouldn’t have even been able to phantom the idea of running a half, let alone a single mile!
Wow that’s a lot of bars and 10 hrs, amazing. I hope you get sometime to stop and rest and enjoy some fun.
stacks on deck in your kitchen! looks delicious

Angela I made those burgers!! They were sooo good; I loved them!! I even did the avocado and salsa as dips-yum! Thank you :)
Have you ever put silken tofu into your green monsters? Would you recommend trying?
