I went to the gym around 2 pm for my planned cardio workout. A few of you mentioned you wouldn’t bother working out if you’d forgotten socks. I definitely would’ve skipped my workout but since I did that yesterday, I knew I needed to sweat. I used the Cybex for 20 minutes and cranked up the intensity. Then I used the foam roller. My right leg/glute/butt (that entire general area) has been hurting since this weekend. I feel MUCH better now. I sat in the sauna for 10 minutes to close out my gym time with some extra sweatiness.
I snacked on some Chobani with a spirnkle of Trader Joe’s trail mix and a spoonful of PB Loco’s Jungle Banana flavor. I’m so glad PB Loco sent this delicious sample. I never would’ve tried it because I’m not a huge fan of anything claiming to be banana flavored. But this was really tasty, with a subtle hint of banana mixed with the PB taste.
I didn’t actually use my fingers….but I did dive back in for another spoonful of PB Loco’s Jungle Banana.
I finally got around to trying some coconut water that Zico kindly sent to me. How classy when served in a wine glass!
I enjoyed the passion fruit flavor. Zico cocnut water has a thicker texture. It almost reminded me of Dreamy Cloud sake, which has a chewiness to it. I liked the sweetness of the passion fruit flavoring
We went all-out with dinner tonight: grilled chicken, couscous, asparagus, and Morningstar Farms spinach and artichoke bites. Yum!
Plus a bottle of red table wine from the Prejean Winery in the Finger Lakes region of NY.
I watched part of the Biggest Loser and did my Whittle My Middle exercises. Now I’m reading/watching the VS Fashion Show and then getting some Zzz’s.

I am glad you liked the pb. I ordered some for a friend in Vegas for Christmas so I hope she enjoys it as much as you did.

Trail mix, yogurt and pb sounds like an amazing combo. The spinach artichoke bites sound good too!

I’m not a huge banana flavored fan either, but that looks yummy!
No socks, I would totally go and do what you did. A few weeks ago I had no sports bra. THAT would have been interesting had I planned to do my scheduled run that day. Instead, I did the recumbent bike.
