Cookie Monster (aka ME)

Hello again!
As promised, this is my super fun, motivational, yum-tastic (eww.. did I just say that) post for today.

That being said, I got the urge to make cookies tonight, so I will be making these after the gym and will be sure to post pictures & opinions.

Low Carb Dark Chocolate PB Cookies
1/2 Cup Canned Pumpkin
1/2 Cup Liquid Egg Whites
1 Scoop Chocolate Protein
1/2 Cup Natural PB – I will be using 1/2 Cup reconstituted PB2 to cut some fat off the stats J
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder
1/4 Cup Flaxseed
1/2 tsp Baking Powder

Pre-Heat Oven to 350 Degrees
Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Drop by the tablespoon on to a cookie sheet lined with foil or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake for about 10 minutes or until firm.
Makes About 6 Cookies.

And I will be feeding them to babe without telling him they’re secretly healthy, so we’ll get a real live opinion!

I also may make some of my all-time favorite protein treats..

Tofu Protein Bar
1 Package Lite Silken Tofu
4 scoops protein powder ( I use VPX Graham Cracker)
3 cups whole oats
¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract (or French Vanilla Stevia – if you have a sweet tooth)
Cinnamon ( to taste)

Combine tofu, protein, vanilla and cinnamon in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer on high until smooth.  Add the oats and mix with the mixer until you have a fairly homogeneous mixture.
*Note if it is too thick add a 1/4 cup water.
Cover an 8x8 pan with parchment or wax paper (you’ll never get them out otherwise). Spread the mixture in the pan and place in the fridge for an hour.

Last night was Shoulders – my mood in the post earlier was a spillover of my mood last night, that being said, my workout could’ve (and should have) gone a lot better…
I get to make it up tonight with a killer back workout tonight!

Warm Up Set: T’s & L’s. One set. 12lb Dumbbells, 30 reps (15 T, 15 L)
DB Shoulder Press, 5 sets. 25lb DBs for 12, 35s for 4, 30s for 4 – pause  - 6, 25s for 10, 20s for 12
Superset; Barbell Shrugs & Upright Rows.
Shrugs, 4 sets. 105lb f0r 12, 85 for 15, 85 for 15, 85 for 12
Upright, 3 sets. 65lb for 8, 55 for 12, 55 for 8
Superset; L’s & T’s.  3 sets each.
L’s: 15lb DBs for 10, 12s for 15, 15s for 12
T’s: 15lb DBs for 10, 12s for 12, 10s for 15
Superset; Arnold Press & Rear Delt Fly (Machine).  3 sets each.
Arnold: 20lb DBs for 12, 20s for 10, 15s for 15
Rear Delt: 30lb for 12, 30 for 12, 20 for 15
Static T’s: 10lb DBs for 10 seconds, twice. 10lb DB T’s to failure (I think it was 15, but I lost count…)

And finally, my macros for the past however long its been since I posted them last.  6/12 was a cheat day, meaning no counting.  Figures are purely guesses for record-keeping sake.  If you care to know:
