Today started off very well, ate an awesome breakfast, got outside and started to shovel the enormous amount of snow in our driveway. Eventually it got done with a few breaks here and there, once we were done our neighbor insisted to come over and try her new wine. Not a bad way to end a shoveling experience. The wine was called Cupcake- red Velvet, obviously from the name you can tell it was a red. Taste was good, though very sweet. During our shoveling experience I started to crave the cookies I made yesterday, which I had no problem getting because lets face it, I am a sugar-holic. I love sweets! Then my mother stops me reminds of hte energy bites I made earlier in the week. It was perfect while doing an activity like shoveling. Main ingredients are peanut butter and oats which are a good source of protein and fiber. Also who doesnt need an energy boost in this type of weather. Once inside we both just became a bump on log. Picked a spot and didnt move for a few hours. I could have named a dozen different things we could have been doing but o well, we were stranded anyway theres always tomorrow. Nap was only thing going through my mind, and so I did.... the word dinner no where to be found. Now its 8pm and here comes along those energy bites again. Snack, meal replacer, pre workout boost, you choose....
