My favorite past time

I took a break from everything this weekend to enjoy time with Dave and friends doing one of my favorite things - fishing! I only caught Gulf Coast Blue Crabs ( not even kidding ) but a bad day on the boat is better than a great day at the office! I had so much fun this weekend. 

Saturday night we went to a friend's house to celebrate her graduation from med school as a physical therapist. It was nice to meet some of Dave's friends from high school that are still around this area. And I seriously could not remember staying up past 2 AM in a while but we did!

Random side note - I saw this on Pinterest and just fell in love with it! I wish we were building our house sooner so I could have it! 

Today meant back to work getting my butt in gear. I am planning on incorporating more boot camp workouts right now because I am burning myself out on running only. So Mon-Wed-Fri will be boot camp workouts and Tues-Thurs-Sat will be my running days. I hoping this will help with my attitude towards getting out of bed at 5 AM!

Started on the elliptical then headed outside to join Garza's class. It was a good workout! I made it through two rounds of 1-6 before i had to leave to get ready for work. 

Power Balls

Thanks to an AIP/Paleo Approach Facebook group I am in I saw a guy post about these and how much he enjoyed them. I checked the nutritional content and they are great for me!
(Trying to follow a pre-diabetic diet alongside Paleo to lower my glucose levels per the DR)

I thought I would give the variety pack a try just so I could see which ones I may like best. You get 8 powerballs and the cost plus shipping was around $21. I wouldn't normally spend that much money on something like this but if it means keeping these glucose levels in check I will just have to eat them as treats!

So far I have had the strawberry ones & chocolate ones. The strawberry ones are great in the mornings for breakfast! They have this great hint of coconut that is just enough sweet for me.

The chocolate ones, for me, are a great after dinner sweet tooth kind of satisfier. I can totally see how you could seriously eat one a day and before you know it your out. I wish they had an autoship option because that would just be awesome.

Go go Mighty Muffin!

So glad I saw Tina from Carrots N Cake post about these things because the sauteed banana disaster I tried was just awful! I checked the carb/sugar/fiber content and the chocolate muffin is more in my OK range as long as they are not in excess. 

They came in! I got my box a few days ago and I was super excited. 

I am normally not a big chocolate fan but since I would probably be eating these as a form of desert I thought I would give those a shot over the cinnamon apple first. I am sure those would be great for a warm breakfast option which I may do when it starts to get colder here.

I put mine in the microwave for a minute even though the directions said 35 seconds. I didn't like how gooey it looked and wanted it cooked a bit more. I would think it is all up to your preference but it was great even after a minute of being cooked. 

Surprisingly it makes a lot. I was starting to wonder at one point how I was going to finish the whole thing. 

Super stoked I found these things. I am glad I troll Facebook and Instagram!
