Hope everyone had a great day!!! Jess and I started our day out with an awesome Shoulder Workout, which will be posted tomorrow. Check back for that! 🙂
The day unfolded nicely with clients, work, and Yoga! Yes, Monday and already got my weekly goal done! Had an amazing hot yoga class to finish off my day! Prefect balance of workout, 1 mile run, dog walks, yoga and work!! I also was able to FINALLY try Rhubarb. Thanks to Erin who brought me some this past weekend. Can you believe it, I couldn’t get it anywhere in SD so Erin had to bring me some in Anaheim!! Thanks again Erin! I chopped it up and put it in my crockpot with Stevia and allowed it to cook on low for 6 hours. I finally tried it and it was yummy!!! What I did was simply eat it in its pieces and then used the liquid that it made for the liquid in my vanilla protein shake. It was a rhubarb vanilla shake with a side of rhubarb! 🙂
Here it is as is, straight out of the crock pot:
Here it is, shake and side of Rhubarb:

SO yesterday, have to admit, my nut butter friends, I had some loving with the Nut butter. Had 2 servings of the Juilian Bread Sweet Egg French Toast smothered in Nut butter (minus the apples). It was heaven and let me tell you, Jess and My workout this morning was strong! Thank you Nut butter for a strong and happy workout!!
Thought for the evening….
We study about how to create success in order to change circumstance in our lives. In order to do that the real goal is to change what you are currently doing. After all if you continue to do what you have been doing, then how can anything ever change?
If you want to lose weight, but continue to eat and exercise like you always have, you are not going to lose weight. If you want to have more money, but continue to earn and spend the same, once again your circumstances will not change. The same holds true with your relationship life, if you approach it the same way nothing will change.
“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”
-Johan Von Goethe
There is so much good advice that you read every day but if you don’t apply it, it can’t help you! There is only one way to create change, and that is to apply action.
“If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living.”
-Gail Sheehy
Until tomorrow everyone, good night!! xoxo

If you don’t have a crockpot, how else can you cook the rhubarb? I bought some this week for the first time ever! No idea what it even tastes like. Looking forward to trying!

oh Lucy, First of all you MUST get a crock pot! Especially as you continue on this journey!!! It will make your life so much easier, set it and forget it 😉
No fear, without a crock pot, this is how you prepare the rhubarb:
-Wash the stalks and cut off the ends at the base and near the leaves.
-Cut rhubarb stalks into small pieces.
-Place the rhubarb and spices (for sweet, add no calorie sweetener) into a saucepan. Pour in a little water to cover the rhubarb.
-Cover the saucepan. Cook over a low heat for approximately 10 minutes. Stir the contents occasionally to prevent sticking. You will know the rhubarb is done when it becomes mushy and rhubarb strings are apparent throughout the mixture.
-Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
-Strain off excess liquid. This liquid can be used to make a shake :).
simple as pie! 🙂 Enjoy!!!
