Make yourself a nice cup of tea. My current favorite (now that my beloved English Toffee is discontinued) is Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride. All natural, herbal, caffeine free, guilt free and tastes just like hot sugar cookies!
There's also that PCP workout. We've got 29 days to go, so make 'em count -- pump up the music and blast those biceps! Next to abs, the arm exercises are the most rewarding for me. I'm just sad that it's getting too chilly to show off the new guns!
Lastly, RUN don't walk to the grocery store and pick up the fixin's for Emily's PCP Lasagna! We made it last night, and it was deeeeeelish. D threw in some hot peppers for a little kick, a nice touch. Going to have some leftovers with my eggs this morning. Thanks, Emily -- that one's going in the recipe drawer!
People will notice the guns, even under a long sleeve shirt. In some ways, having 'em but not showing them off is the ultimate in bad-assery.
ReplyDeleteOh good, I'm so glad you liked it! I'll have to try it with peppers next time. Did you make it with the fake cheese?
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer about the tea! I went to, like, 4 grocery stores in NYC trying to find it before I realized it was discontinued. But I did almost order the sugar cookie and the gingerbread spice (I'm a sucker for the packaging!)...so I'm glad to hear they get the stamp of approval. Now I'm definitely going to order.
And speaking of guns—wowza! Look at your photos! You look great...those shoulders! All that hard work really shows, Shelly.
Mmm your picture looks so comforting! So what is Sugar Cookie Sleigh Rid tea made from?
ReplyDeletePatrick -- What people really notice is my posture, and that's pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteEmily -- I used your cheese recipe, but swapped in greek yogurt for half of the water. I also added salt free Spike veggie seasoning for a little punch. (BTW, Spike mixed with greek yogurt makes a killer veggie dip!)
Thanks for noticing the hard work! Between ass-busting workouts and Patrick's encouragement to EAT, EAT, EAT, I am getting to the point where I'm the fittest (and firmest) I've ever been.
I know you know what I mean! Look at your FABDOMINALS!!
Naomi --Why sugar cookies and sleighs, of course! No, no. What's really cool about Celestial Seasonings is their commitment to all-natural, never artificial ingredients. They list milk thistle, roasted barley orange peel, and vanilla.
I have been craving Roobios chai lately. The spices remind me of the coming holidays. We are fortunate to have a well stocked organic loose tea purveyor here and their selection is great. But, I am totally going to start trying some of these new flavours. thanks!
ReplyDeleteGuns, abs, back? Your body just doesn't stop. Way to go! I noticed a stretch fabric vertical striped shirt I was wearing the other day showed off the curve of my biceps along the sleeve. Stripes seem to work for against us instead of against us! Congrats on the posture and changes.
