unapologetically-black asked: I personally love coconut oil, but it doesn't work for everything. Sometimes it leaves too much of the coconut flavor, and that isn't good for all recipes.
lowerclasstooth asked: Do you cook with coconut oil? If so, what has your experience been like?

“Come on lets make the last workout of the year a strong one!”
– This is what I expected to hear yesterday from NB in the last 10 min of my gym session… but since I was sick and had to cancel I’ll just have to imagine it in my head.
I plan to walk today and tomorrow so I can finish the year on a good note! It might not be the strongest of my workouts...

The day after the gym conversations...
ME: (Groan)
CHRIS: What's wrong?
ME: My ENTIRE body aches.
CHRIS: You should call and cancel today?
ME: Cancel today? Who am I going to call?? God??? Tell him I'm just not up to today and he should cancel it?
CHRIS: No silly, I mean call and cancel your session at the gym.
ME: Oh... I don't have one today... I have one tomorrow. I'm sore because I had one yesterday.
CHRIS: Oh.. I've got my days mixed up. You should get up and move around then..that helps.
ME: Thanks for your support.

Conversations at the Gym....
(As I walk in the Gym and past the office)
VOICE: Hey Dianne hold up a minute.
(feel a hand on my shoulder and expect to turn and see my trainer)
VOICE: Hey I just wanted to let you know...
(I turn to find the gym manager who looks like Bradley Cooper only with bigger muscles and tattoos!! OMG..he knows my name... is he going to ask me to run away with him???!!)
GM: .... that I used your red container to take food home and I forgot to bring it back so I'll bring it in Thursday for you.
(picking my broken heart off the floor...)
ME: Oh..no worries I don't want it back. (it was one of the disposable ones I took NB cookies in)
GM: Are you sure? I didn't want you to think I stole it or something.
ME: NO no.. I don't want it. (how would I even know he had it to accuse him of stealing??)
GM: Ok thanks... and your cookies were awesome. I got to try some.
ME: Glad you liked them... (Maybe he'll ask me to run away with him at a later date!)

The highlight of the holidays
Food shopping at Whole Foods /Lamar.
I DESPISE their new produce lay out because it is IMPOSSIBLE to navigate.. but other than that… it was lovely!!! The 365 vegan stuffing was in short supply!

Conversations w/ my trainer....
NB: Ready for the last big workout before Christmas?
ME: Yes but my leg may tell you to go to hell.
(I have Piriformis syndrome)
NB: Awesome! What did we do Tuesday anyway?
ME: Those one lunges...with the bench and...
NB: Oh right. Ok well we won't do those anymore.
(crap... I wish I had squat jumps that day...I would've blamed it on those!!)
Cutting spaghetti squash scares me

Had another awesome work out...
I’m convinced it’s the cookies… don’t tell me it’s just a coincidence.
Sugar is a major muscle building block isn’t it? lol
NB took a bunch of cookies, sugared nuts, chocolate covered pretzels and peppermint bark off my hands…better him than me!!! He may or may not share with the main gym guy who looks a LOT like Bradley Cooper but with more muscles.

Conversations w/ my trainer.... (Tuesday edition)
NB: You are doing really well today.
ME: Must be the sugar high.
NB: ?
ME: I've been making cookies for the past 3 days.
NB: Everyone is making cookies but I have yet to see any.
ME: You want cookies?
NB: Of course I want cookies. I always want cookies, doesn't everyone?
ME: Well I don't want them in my house so Thursday you get cookies.
(I'll tell him they are vegan after he eats them all..lol)
