Throw-back Thursday

Boy, today was quite the throwback in terms of feeling. I was sore all over my body! This sensation has been abset for a while now and it's good to have it back...let's my body know whose daddy! - which, ironically, my body seems to be daddy.

Okay so I tried out a new bar today and it's the new Clif Builder's bar, a vegan 'protein' bar jam packed with 20 grams of organic protein and a host of stuff on the back of the label that I have since given up trying to pronounce. Let's just say though, the bar ain't exactly raw vegan =) Nonetheless it is vegan and as my job as Note-taking Nancy, I feel compelled to report that the bar was tasty but a bit sweet for my liking. I enjoy sweet fruit...I enjoy sweet lemonade with stevia...hell, I just love stevia! But this was sweetened with organic evaporated cane sugar root. I tried the chocolate-mint and that one was pretty forgettable...won't be having that one any time soon. The other flavors I will get tomorrow along with some larabars are cookiesncream, vanilla almond and lemon. I'll let you know how those go. I need a ton of amino acids now that I'm routinely tearing the crap out of my body. Self-mutilation would probably be too strong...but I wouldn't put past todays workout which was only done at half-length [still made me want to vomit!]
