My Rustic "CocoCocoa"
I have three items of note today.
Numero Uno: I busted my keester to push myself into having my most intense work out in recent history. In the back of my mind, I was wondering if anyone at the gym knew CPR ... just in case.
The stats: 45 minute, 45 second treadmill work out. Incline: 3 - 3.5 (a new high). Speed: mostly 3.7. Distance: 2.84 miles. Warm up and cool down: the walk to the gym and back.
Numero Two-o: I made my very own LC friendly, all-natural, mostly organic chocolate bar. The basic ingredients are listed below. I'm happily surprised to report that it is pretty, pretty good (as Larry David might say).
Numero Three-o: I'm experimenting with a new "super food" mix. I really enjoy the
Amazing Grass Chocolate Green Superfood. It tastes great and the ingredients are excellent. But I think I've found
something even better. My concern was how it would taste. One look at the ingredients will give you a justification for my impending fright.
Well, I bit the bullet and tried it out. I bought a single serving packet and mixed it with a homemade coffee protein shake. The coffee taste was enough to sufficiently mask the "green" flavor of the mix.
I do believe I'll be switching over to this new product for at least a one month trial. Be on the look out for even more inexplicably odd behavior and shananigans. I look forward to proclaiming, "The ORAC-Energy Greens made me do it!"
