Ha, JUST KIDDING!!!
I have a Halloween/pumpkin carving gathering at a friend’s house tonight, and since I decided that I’m pretty positive there will be more than enough….um, adult beverages available, I decided to go the other really-bad-for-you route: I baked cupcakes!
And no, they are not even close to healthy! When I’m eating sugar, I’m gonna go all out! The only substitute I threw in for a quasi-health twist was that again, half the butter was removed from the recipes and replaced with chia seed gel. That’s pretty basic when I bake these days. I am excited to try the candy corn cupcakes! I decided to get all fancy and split the white batter into two bowls. I then dyed one bowl orange and the other yellow, and then layered it into the cupcake containers like that. Get it?!? Like a candy corn?! Sometimes, I tell you my creativity astounds me 😉
Um, I may or may not have just found cupcake crumbs in my hair. Hmmm. That’s awkward!
So I went to Body Pump last night after my mini-me interval workout on the treadmill, and I gotta tell you–I really enjoy those BP classes! Like a lot of women, I truly struggle to get enough strength training in. To make it even tougher, I dislike being in the free weight section of my gym (known as the “meat market” to me!) because I feel like the men just stare! Some women love it and enjoy the attention, but I am not one of them. Plus, I don’t really know what I’m doing in there and am apt to tie a cable around my head before I figure it out! BP is perfect for me to get my all-over body strengthening without looking like an ass in the free weights. Win-win.

Clearly, this man didn’t know how to use his weights either!
On that note, I’m sure most of you have already heard, but if not, you really should check out the HBBC over at Run to the Finish! It looks like things are gonna get going in the next few weeks, and she has some really awesome sponsors lined up!! Besides, it really means you can eat all of the Christmas cookies and Halloween candy that you want! (Or at least, that’s how I look at it!)
Are you do the HBBC?
