Ok, girls, where do I begin? I prepped my energy balls, put them in to chill, then did 71 mins of UY Flexibility. My shoulders have been hurting all week, and today they felt so achy after all the shopping I was doing. But after UY, they actually improved.
Must do more UY! Definitely every Thursday, but maybe some Tuesdays. We'll see.
My balls: (hysterical, don't you think?) After I brought them out and tried to set them, they kept falling apart a bit. So I added more almond butter since I didn't want to add any more sugar with the maple syrup. They're now a little better but still crumbly. It's probably my ingredients. I used hemp seeds for flax, and wheat bran (yes) for coconut flakes; everything else was as indicated. And would you believe I actually have choc-covered cacao nibs from this local chocolate gift box I scored last week at TJM??
I'm eating a ball as I type and it tastes great. The nibs and syrup add just the right amount of sweetness. Would you believe something in my ingredients makes it taste like there are coconut flakes?
One of the grains or the hemp seeds. I'll probably never add chocolate chips because I don't need the added sugar contributing to my muffin top.
Jean and Missy, any tips you can give would be great since you gals have made them a few times. I have to store mine on a flat dish because if they're thrown together in a bag or tall container, they'll mush up into a mess, I'm guessing.
Carolyn, that was a smokin' deal!
Love that!!!
I would have been tempted to keep the $15 but then I would have blinked and given it back. What an ungrateful woman--she would have been short in her cash register!
You'll have to go to your local TJM/M and buy 3 wrist wraps and send them to me, Jean, Mary. And the rigid foam roller for me. And all those all goodies you find!!!
I believe you're right about it being a Beatles song. It seemed very appropriate this morning.
Jean, see how Edith sees herself as a fallen woman but Mary did the same thing in season 1 with that Mr. Pamuk who died in her bed, yet no one mentioned anything about that! Double standard, don't you think? Well, maybe he died before any hanky panky. I can't remember. Do you know that Netflix has removed Downton from its streaming library??
And Mary is so b!tchy to Edith, just like in season 1.
Doesn't it bother you that Cora always has that scrunched-face expression? She looks down, crinkles her eyes, and puckers her mouth. Annoying.
I just LOVE the English accent. (Not the ones with the lilt the help have.)
Missy, you HAVE been on a roll with Cathe. And posting. High five!
Well, I'm so proud of how many calories all my bustling about today has burned!
Still need to pick ds up at 9 after his club.
