I swear I eat food other than sweets. I swear. Kind of.
I had another CrossFit cert this weekend. CrossFit kids. Which is weird, since I don’t like kids. At all. I like teenagers. No wait, I like CrossFit teenagers. Like my friend Addie. She’s epic. She’s 17, 95lbs, and got 64 reps at wod 12.2. That means she did 30 snatches at 45lbs, 30 snatches at 75lbs, and 4 snatches at 100lbs. She snatched OVER HER BODY WEIGHT. That is ridiculously incredible. I love CrossFit teenagers. Ok, mainly just her.
Guess what I’m doing this week?! Going to Boston! Well then to New Hampshire. More New Hampshire than Boston. I’ll be working with AgainFaster making some cooking videos! How fun is that!? If you didn’t know, I write a monthly blog post for them! I like to talk about body stuff and CrossFit stuff. You know, the best stuff.
Ok, we need to talk about something. I didn’t eat chocolate for a long, long time. A long time for me at least. Like 4 or 5 weeks. I was suppose to go until after the open, but I gave in. I got sick of it. I had a bet that I wouldn’t eat chocolate until after the CrossFit Open and threw it all out the door with one week left. Failure to the max. But I really didn’t care. It was heaven. I got dark chocolate covered walnuts and was instantly a better person. Meaning more fun to be around.
How was your St. Patty’s Day?! Was it filled with booze? Mine was spent at my parents house then on the couch watching movies on the Oxygen channel. But when I woke up early on Sunday morning, and there were literally 3 souls in the park versus the normal thousands, I was quite happy everyone was hungover. And not me. It’s so strange to me that we have built in drinking holidays. No, they weren’t created specifically for that most likely, but that’s what they’ve turned into. Have you ever heard someone say you’re either a alcohol person or a food person? I’m SOOOOOOOO a food person. I’d much MUCH rather consume my calories from a dead animal versus fermented grapes. Alcohol tastes like ass, dark chocolate tastes like pure heaven. Factual info right there.

Hooray! Chocolate is back. I’m so glad your dumb bet is over. These looks amazing! I can’t wait to try them. Addie is absolutely an inspiration to watch. We miss her down here on the south end.
She is so damn amazing!
I might make these and take them to work…the girls always piss and moan that i never eat the crap they get from the bakery…cupcakes that don’t go straight to their ass, I’ll be everyone’s favorite for at least a week now!
Have you seen my ass Rob? come on
We’ve been through this, your ass is bomb…stop hating.
Come on bro
While you’re in Boston feel free to stop by CrossFit Hingham! My roommate Ashley and I would love to talk shop.. aka talk food with you or just throw down. We’re convinced that you’re our clone on the other side of the country. Fact.
PS. Making these, ASAP.
Katie, I grew up in Hingham (folks still live there) but will be back this fall for a wedding. Where is CF Hingham?
On Sharp street.. near Rockland and Weymouth, kind of sandwiched between the two towns. 55 Sharp Street to be exact. If you need a place to WOD when you come back for the wedding definitely stop in!
I’ll keep that in mind Katie! Fingers crossed!!
You’ll recall I might have mentioned that cutting dark chocolate was not necessary anyway, perhaps even detrimental. Glad you came to your senses. I don’t really bake, but I will certainly give that glaze and a bowl and a spoon a roll sometime.
Thank goodness I came to my senses…but it got a little out of control. I found chocolate on 2 shirts i wore yesterday. two.
Can I sub almond butter for cashew butter? I’m just lazy and don’t want to purchase cashew butter. but if I have to for the sake of deliciousness then I guess I’ll have too… ugh.
Gross. I typed too instead of to. I couldn’t leave without fixing it.
I hate that feeling
Yeah almond butter would definitely work!!
