"There are temptations which strong exercise best enables us to resist" - John Lubbock
What a weekend! Amanda and I went to a huge birthday for our friend and exercise partner Nicola thrown by another exercise partner, Mandy, and attended by a number of other exercise partners. (Yes, Amanda has a lot of exercise partners. We should have t-shirts made.) I'm still recovering but I must go to the gym to burn off birthday cake. Wish me luck!
I'm always interested to read about other people's workouts. This guy takes fitness pretty seriously.
Personally, I don't know how chocolate and cherry scones can be good for you - not least after a workout - but this nutritionist swears they are. Who am I to argue?
Can you be convinced to go on the Nordic Diet? Would you join the calorie restriction movement? Ummm...no and no.
If it came from a plant, eat it (and other food rules to live by).
Eight secrets to all day energy. Do you have any to add?
I *heart* Google. I recently stumbled upon this sweet commercial and now this? Sigh.
Did I get enough exercise/burn enough calories/get enough sleep today? Better check my fitbit.
Not much love for moobs, I guess.
...but there should be lots of love for man's best friend.
I can't wait to hear what Amanda thinks about this.
Repeat after me: "must not eat cake". Still craving cake? Listen to this.

I wish I had tried the birthday cake!
ReplyDeleteJust looked at the chocolate cherry workout recovery scones and, while they wouldn't be good for recovery (um - where is the protein?), the recipe sure ain't bad. I'd switch the white flour to whole grain -- we use our own gluten free blend at our house -- and Splenda or 1:1 stevia for the sugar. It would be also cool to use garam masala as a flavour in it.
OK - I want to just bake now!
