My favorite national holiday

hat: wal-mart, shirt: tj maxx, jacket: target, jeans: gap, shoes: target

Look who got a haircut! This is the only pic I could snap of the little nugget cause let's just say someone's a littttttle embarrassed of his new bald self. 

 I'm not sure if any of you were aware of the national holiday yesterday, it just so happens to be my absolute most favorite national day ever. January 24 is national peanut butter day....whoever thought of making it a national holiday is my new favorite person.

So, in honor of this glorious holiday I decided to do a little experiment in my kitchen and here is how it turned out

Amazing!

Dark chocolate peanut butter

2-3 cups roasted unsalted peanuts

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Place roasted peanuts in food processor and start blending away.

It will start to clump together, so stop the processor and scrape down the sides. You are going to have do this multiple times.

Once you get a peanut butter like consistency, add in dark chocolate chips.

Process until peanut butter and choc chips are fully combined.

Place in air tight container and enjoy!

Cardio & Ab Circuit

  Today's Workout:

 I spent half hour on the death machine aka step machine. For those who don't know what I'm talking about..this little beauty right here

My only advice is do not hold the side rails. You will completely defeat the purpose of this machine so get those hands off and pick up your booty.

After the death machine I did a quick cardio abs circuit that looked a little like this...

           Complete each exercise for 60 seconds

 Jump Rope

Mountain climbers

Bicycle crunches

Abdominal twist

Atomic sit up

Knees to elbow 

 Jump Rope

Mountain climbers

Flutter kick

Straight leg raise

Hip raise

 Jump Rope

Mountain climbers

Plank

After the gym I came home to a beautiful little box on our front porch that contained these goodies..

Perfect post workout snack :)
