Why hello there Thursday, its great to see you again.
The week has just flown by for me!
Aside from the not so nice weather we had yesterday, everything is peachy.

This morning, I decided I wanted to have a little chocolate with my breakfast. I have never seen chocolate almond butter over here in my parts of Canada, sadly. So, just decided to make my own.
I combined 1 tablespoon of raw almond butter, a heaping 1/2 teaspoon raw cacao powder, a little bit of stevia, ~1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ~1/2 teaspoon almond milk. I just mixed it all together with a butter knife and served this atop of my breakfast oatmeal.

Yesterday started out with a little mishap. While driving my car, I looked behind me and saw there was a creepy spider there. Why is it that I think that spider’s are the scariest thing in the world. I definitely panicked a bit, I mean what happens if it crawled near me, I would surely die. At least it felt that way at the time. I contemplated just going home and running from my car, screaming, until somebody could kill the spider for me. Instead, I decided to stop at the closest gas station and asked the man working there if he would kill it for me. Classic times.
After my spider fiasco, things started getting a little better though 
I completed a sweaty workout. I did Zuzana’s ZWOW #2. It’s a goody.

After, I made sure to refuel myself with a protein smoothie.
This beauty had almond milk, 1/2 banana, 1 cup strawberries, 1 teaspoon each of ground flaxseed and almond butter, 1/2 serving vega protein powder, stevia, and a pinch of xanthan gum. Delicioso.

Hope you all have a great day!
Have you heard about Cameron Diaz’ plans to become a nutrition educator?
What do you think about a celebrity, like Cameron Diaz, educating people in fitness and health?
I think she’s a pretty good role model for younger people. She seems to have a pretty healthy body and if its truly her passion to provide people with ways to turn their health around, than that’s a good thing. Whatever floats her boat
Keep classy.

I’ve never seen chocolate almond butter in Canada either! It’s no fair!
What’s the brand of almond butter that you buy? I’ve never seen that kind before.
Hahaha that story about the spider is too funny!
I know, right. SO unfair how we have much less products than the states does. The brand New World Natural Foods.
How creative! Chocolate almond butter sounds heavenly
I would’ve seriously cried if there was a spider in my car!!! Lol
Haha, I know I freaked out so much, its amazing what a little spider can do to you!
Oh my word, that spider story is TOO funny! I swear, if there was a spider in my car I probably would’ve crashed into a pole or something haha
And I love your recipe idea, it sounds SO decadent and delicious!
Hehe, so embarrassing. I’m sure the guy thought I was mental for not being able to kill the spider myself haha, for some reason it freaks me out too. Have a great day!
Hahah I LOVE this gif of Dumbledore, it’s hilarious.
& I had no idea about Cameron Diaz. She seems fit and healthy though, people need more celebs teaching about wellness, I think, so good for her!
I know, I saw it and just burst out laughing
love me some harry potter.
Yay I love ZWOWs! #2 is a TOUGH one!
Yah, that one’s a killer! I’ve tried all of her ZWOW’s now. I’m trying to figure out which is my favourite!
Ooo that chocolate almond butter sounds delicious! And I am so FREAKED out by spiders! I hate them haha. I think it would be great if a celebrity became something like that because maybe they could get more people to listen!
Me too! Hate them with a burning passion. I can’t even kill them, as you can tell. I am just so freaked out they will jump on me or something haha. That’s what I think to with the celebrities speaking out, hopefully they do it in a healthy way though, because lots of people will be paying attention and idolizing their health methods
Awww you’re so cute! I’m not scared of spiders, but birds are another story :-/
I think Cameron D is a pretty good role model; she always look fit and healthy to me. Remember those photos of her pushing the giant tyres? Girl was on fire!
All bugs just freak me right out for some reason! Yah, that girl has a killer physique she clearly puts time in the gym!
cocoa for breakfast is definitely my style. way to go! and cameron a nutrition advisor? gotta read that!
Love cocoa at breakfast! I think it will be good if she gets the education for it, not just because she’s famous. You have to know your stuff too, right. Have a great day!!
