Good morning!
Whittle My Middle 2: Day 19!!!
Is anyone still doing it with us? lol. Last night Eric was making me laugh so hard. I swear my WMM2 workouts are getting worse and worse because I just collapse to the floor and giggle the whole time. He does the weirdest things, that guy!
Eric is getting RIPPED from this challenge. I can’t get over how quickly men build muscle!! His arms have easily increased at least 2 inches in size and his abs are quite hard too. The plank-ups are really good for the arms, aren’t they? I have noticed my own arms getting really toned this month, although that could be from the gazillion hours I spend baking each week (I mix every batch by HAND!).
We watched the first two episodes of 24 last night. WHOA. The new crew is different! I’m sure we will be used to it in a few more shows though. Freddie Prince really threw me for a loop!
I was up around 6:15am this morning. It’s hard to believe I have already gotten 2 hours of work done and it is only 8:30am. Love that!
My breakfast this morning was deelish.
I had a Tropical Balmy Bliss Breakfast Muffin (no butter required!)
Love these muffins! Remind me of summer. :)
And a Green Monster:
Carob Mint Green Monster
Ingredients:
- Cooked organic spinach
- 1 frozen banana
- 1.5 T carob powder
- few mint leaves
- 4 ice cubes
- 1 t maca powder
- 1 T chunky almond butter
- 1 cup unsweetened almond breeze
- 1 scoop Amazing Grass Chocolate Amazing Meal
I don’t think I blended the mint leaves very well- I kept finding little strings of them in my mouth- ewwwwwww!!! :(
Presenting the new V-day Glo Bar! The name, which I let Eric pick, will be revealed later.
Any guesses what the flavour is?
This bar took me 7-8 trials and it is very labour intensive. I am so happy with it though!
I will be posting the new Valentine’s Day Variety Pack today at noon EST (check here on the blog!) and of course unveiling this new mystery bar! :D Quantities of the new bar will be limited.
Updates:
I am crazy busy in the bakery today so I better get going. Not sure if there is a workout on the agenda today- we shall see if I can squeeze one in! See you at NOON!
Have a wonderful, glowing day! :D

SMORES!!
I keep thinking the bar is something coconut flavored?? I keep seeing white and thinking that. Whatever it is, it sure looks tasty! :)
hmm…i’d have to pick something marshmallow-y. it looks great!
Can’t wait to hear about the new glo bar flavour!!
xo

Thanks for the post! I was just wondering why you cook the spinach? Also,I would suggest that a high-powered blender (like a VitaMix) would macerate the mint leaves effectively. You will never regret the investment!
That muffin recipe looks yummy, and I can’t wait to try it. I came across a vegan chocolate cake recipe posted in several other places and thought it might be up your ally.

I’m still doing the whittle my middle exercises — but only 3x a week. :)
Boat pose continues to annoy and piss me off — lol — I have trouble with my hip flexors and it feels like boat pose reminds me of every inch of my hip flexors!
I know its good for me in the end, though! :)
Love that long, tall glass for your green monster! Looks like a test tube :-)
I hate how guys can get ripped so easily and girls have to work so hard at it– not FAIR!!
I love hearing about new glo bar flavours! Can’t wait to see what the V-day one turns out to be.
Is it a white chocolate-type of bar?
Great job on the early morning productivity!
yes I’m still whittling . . . I tried the exercise with the twisting and the weighted ball on an exercise ball on Sunday and it brought the pain, more than seated on the floor, I’m still sore today
I’m still whittling too! I started a bit after you though but I am half way through and took measurements yesterday. I lost 2.5 inches around my natural waist and 1.5 around the abdomen! I couldn’t believe it.
Mmmmm s’mores?? With vegan marshmallows? That would be incredible!!
So annoying how fast men respond to exercise :) We’ll just work a little harder to keep up! ;)
That new glo-bar sure does look tasty! Can’t wait to hear the new flavor!
Maca? I keep hearing about it, but don’t remember a discussion on your blog… Have you spoken about it? Perhaps a future post…? Thanks!
I’m really liking FPJ on 24! But there’s something weird about the new director I think!
Whatever flavor that is it looks delicious :-)
What a pretty glass!
For Valentine’s Day I would have to say something red — maybe dried cranberries or raspberries?
You are so inspiring with your WMM2…I’m not following along with you this time, but am starting my own month long workout goals! This one is to run three miles, all at one time (I’m not a runner, so this is a challenge!!)
