Nom, nom, nom

Today was a fun day. I woke up a little later than usual (8am! Yeah!), taught a great exercise class and then spent the rest of the day prepping for a surprise party for my mother in law.

In case you need some fitness today, here's the routine I did with my class this morning: kettle bell tabata. If you don't know what tabata style fitness is, check out this link. We performed the following exercises for 8 rounds, each round was 20 seconds of extra hard work, followed by a 10 second rest. After each round was performed, we moved on to the next exercise. Today, we did stationary swings, walking overhead lunges, push ups, walking squat swings, goblet squats, wood choppers, full sit ups holding a kettle bell and then (finally!) fly chest press. Whew! It was a workout for sure!

The cake I am making is from an old copy of Midwest Living magazine. I hope it turns out alright. It is a butter cake with crumb topping and a yummy chocolate drizzle on top of all that. Have I mentioned I love to eat? Have I also mentioned I am gluten intolerant? Such a predicament when surrounded my delicious sweets. To eat or not to eat?? More like, to have diarrhea or not have diarrhea?? You have to ask yourself these important questions.

I like when I make items around the house because I usually have a little helper named Milly Phillips waiting by my side. She sits in the chair, listening to me tell Randy about my plan for cooking, gives me this look, and then she Velcros herself to my side.

I feel like all I did today was eat. Hummus, chips, cheese, eggs, cucumbers, squash...the list goes on. Sad part is, I am still hungry. Perhaps I should eat a real meal instead of a bunch of snacks. Hmm, fortunately, it is almost dinner time :)
