Hi all! No witty lead in, so lets jump right in!
FITNESS
Another good day! My legs were just the right amount of sore today :p You know what I mean though?.. sore enough that I know I had a good workout, but not too sore that I sentenced to the couch. Ugh that’s the worst, have you ever been so sore that making any movement hurts so much that you start feeling sick? haha.. yes I have issues with pushing myself too far at times, but usually I don’t even know it when it’s happening. Any who.. check out the Workout Tracker (Fitness Tab –> Tracker).
NUTRITION
Completely on track meal-wise today too! One more meal left.. think I’m going to have another Green Monster, it’s just such an easy and delicious way to get in both protein & veggies 
Inspired by a recent care package delivery of TJ’s Peanut Flour, today I had hot oatmeal for the first time in months! I can’t believe I’m saying that, but for whatever reason, I’m only been craving oats as a smoothie topper.
Well prepare yourself for a couple not-so pretty pictures..
I made 1/4 c Coach’s Oats, stirred in 1/2 an Apple and Apple Pie Spice, then topped that with Peanut Flour Mapley Sauce (2 tbsp Peanut Flour + 2 tbsp Walden Farms Maple Syrup) and 1/2 c Plain Goat’s Milk Yogurt..
Soupy
This winter (though I guess it’s not even technically winter yet..) I have been obsessed with Butternut Squash Soup. It’s so easy to make, filling and healthy.
Savory Butternut Squash Soup
Just throw the above ingredients into the crock pot, cook until the squash is soft. Puree in the blender.
I promise this tastes better than it looks! Tonight I reheated a cup of soup, mixed in Chicken Sausage & 1/2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast, then topped it with Avocado. Delicious!
FUN
So I saw ‘Black Swan’ last night. If you’re looking for a light holiday ballet movie.. run the other direction from this one! I knew it was going to be a dark sort of movie, but wow, it surpassed that. With all that said, however, I enjoyed it and if you don’t mind that sort of movie, I recommend it. The acting really is pretty amazing, and it’s one of those movies that I think you’d pick up different tidbits each time you watch it.
Seen any good movies lately? Besides ‘Black Swan,’ I saw ‘Burlesque’ (I’m usually easily entertained with movies, but I honestly thought it was awful and didn’t even stay to the end), and ‘Morning Glory’ (cute but with cast I guess I expected a little more).

Hahahaha – I usually prefer crunchier things, but all that soup-y food looks SO good
I want to see Black Swan but it isn’t playing here!! (We only have 2 theaters). I saw “Next Three days” total adreline rush the whole movie! I was debating about “Burlesque” but I’ll save my money.
Oh love the idea of adding in the portobello. Yum
I think I need to try this soup! I’ve been debating with what to do with the squash I just bought!
I love chicken sausage!! Sam’s Club and Costco have the best in my opinion!
This just showed up in my mailbox with this Dec. 2010 date…. am I in the twilight zone???
