I even attempted to make some raw dark chocolate macroons! I whipped them up and into the dehydrator they went. I cannot wait to try these babies out tommorrow. My whole apt. smells like a chocolate factory. I tested some of the batter out before rolling them up and they are ssoo good. I cant believe I havent made these before! Im really interested in seeing what the health benefits of coconut butter was and was amazed at the benefits that I have found so far. I even bought a book on it and am going to read it tonight. (Yup, Im a nerd) =)
Tonight I was more in to mood for a light dinner. Plus lets face it, since I worked it hard at the gym I wanted to save some room for some tofu pudding! But I sauteed up some green beans with some fresh grated ginger and garlic. I added a splash of some coconut vinegar that I found at the store. I topped it off with some fresh chopped persimmons and some shredded coconut. Loved it! I havent had a Persimmon in awhile and I forgot how much I loved them. The persimmons added some nice sweetness against the tartness of the coconut vinegar.
I was mentioning this morning to my husband, Austin, that I need to get some more music for my ipod. I just got a few new songs but I have some old ones that have been on repeat for awhile. Time to clean the list out! So when my husband got home tonight he brought me back a giftcard so I could get some more music to listen to while at the gym. I just thought that was such a nice gesture. It made my night. So overall my cranky morning turned into one fabulous day!
Do you ever have days like this? If so, what are some of your ways of turning that bad morning into a good day?Jam of the day: Evacuate the Dance Floor - Cascada
This song just really got me in the zone this morning.
lol, a while ago, I did a post very similar to this, in which I was basically just bitching about EVERYTHING. I certainly have woken up on the wrong side of bed as well! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut kudos to you for fixing it the healthy way! Exercise is awesome!
I've definitely had days like that and you're right - just getting the ball rolling and getting out the door is usually the first step!
ReplyDeleteof COURSE I have days like this, or just days where I am in a bad mood the whole day, feel blah, want to be alone...we all have those days...they come and go!! but going to the gym always makes me happy...its those endorphins!!
ReplyDeleteyummmmmm tofu pudding!!
Those persimmons with the green beens look awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes there is nothing like some exercise to improve your mood ;-)
Sorry about your bad day. You're right... exercise can really help! When I'm in a bad mood and can work up the motivation to run (rather than stewing at home), I do. If it doesn't make me feel 100% better, at least I got to have some productive time to myself instead of pouring my bad mood onto someone else!
ReplyDeleteI like to exercise in the morning. Morning workouts make me feel energized throughout a day. Most of all I like to do strength training in the morning. I've discovered a good way to increase my endurance and make my body well prepared for my early workouts. Read about it on militarygradenutritionals.com/blog/. They write a lot about enhancing your physical capacities. Especially I liked the advices on pre-workout and post-workout nutrition. Now I feel myself full of energy, my muscles sore less after tough trainings and I am ready to train as soon as I wake up.
