Hot then Cold

This morning when I woke up I was freezing! Maybe due to the fact its 8 degrees outside..
So I knew I wanted something warm for breakfast, aaaaand maybe a cookie.
These gingerbread cookies are so soft and tasty that they inspired this mornings breakfast.

After my belly was nice and warm I was able to head out in the cold air to the gym. I made it to about half of body combat and taught Body Pump. Body Pump #80 is SOOO fun! It is one of my favorite releases. It includes a few new/different movements which make it innovative and fun. I love all the songs for each track as well. The tricep and lunge track hurt so good..

When I got home I was a sweaty and more then ready for a recovery smoothie.
