I literally got stuck in my sports bra yesterday. STUCK. I had a certain hair-do going on yesterday and didn’t want to mess it up. Meaning a messy bun that I was about to run in. But, you know how it goes. Don’t ever mess up the perfect bun. Whatever. So I put it over my head first, then tried to get my arms through it. One went through, the other one had a much tougher time. It took me at least 4 minutes to get my other arm through. I started to have a panic attack, sweat emerged, and had to talk myself through it. I got through it. The sports bra made weird sounds. Lululemon has some snug stuff.
So the other day, before I headed off to South Dakota, I grabbed my comforter that had been stuffed into the trunk of multiple cars because of camping, to take with me to keep me snuggly warm while traveling. Well, once I picked it up, stuffing fell out of it. I should explain that this comforter has been with me since my freshmen year of college and it was a bit cheap. BUT, stuffing was never falling out of it. So I tried to figure out why the hell it was dying on me. And I came to find out some sort of greenish stain that was eating away at the comforter. How creepy is that? What do you think it was? I had to throw her away so I wouldn’t get die of a flesh eating virus. Sad day in comforter land.
Why does the Bachelorette suck so much more than the Bachelor? Well, they both kind of suck. But the Bachelorette is extremely boring to watch. But I still seem to have a girls night every Monday to watch it. Even when it’s the men tell all episode. Which is the worst episode of all since the bros really have nothing to tell. Would you be on that show? My best friend tried out. I want her to get on it so I like the show more. But I’m selfish. And it seems like it may be completely awful to be there. How can someone take 6 weeks off of work to be on a fake dating show? It’s just so confusing.
Wow. I obviously don’t have much to talk about today. I do have some muffins to talk about though. Even though I thought my muffins were delicious, I thought some muffins I tried yesterday topped mine. They’re called Nourishe and they have chocolate ginger macadamia muffins and and cinnamon raisin pecan muffins. Both are awesome. Check them out here. And try mine in the meantime. DUH!

Would vanilla whey powder work instead of the chocolate flavor?
yes!
I used coconut flour, and my batter came out super thick. Is this how it’s supposed to be?
it should be thick, for sure. but still have a gooeyness to it
Hey Juli!
Can you use any brand of whey protein?
absolutely
Juli-
I find that with a lot of nut-butter recipes, my store-bought organic nut-butters don’t work as well as others home-made for these recipes. do you think organic raw sunflower seed butter would work better than (for example) trader joe’s sunflower seed butter?
the difference i’ve noticed is that the store-bought organic almond butter is much more oily than the home-made almond butter others make. i don’t have the food processor to handle making my own.
Suggestions/comments, please? Thx.
i think the oily works better for this recipe because it keeps it moist since the protein powder soaks some of that up
Thank you!!
I just got stuck in a bra this morning! But you know what…I hurt myself pretty much every time I try to get out and I am not trying to save a hair style. I just need to sit down with a bunch of girls and have them give me life lessons. First up- how do I put on (and take off) a sports bra without hurting myself? Second up- how do I wear compression pants (or shorts or capris whatever) without panty lines? I just don’t get it. And for the record I hate that they are called compression. stupid.
Wear a thong or go commando 🙂
No undies! Compression gear is designed to be worn commando.
Hi Juli! My hubs and I started following your blog because we’ve been paleo for the past couple months. Um we love you, not in the weird swinger way, like in the way your zucchini bread is amazing along with your other recipes we’ve made. I swapped the zukes for bananas for amazing chocolate banana bread, even my non-paleo bossman liked it, brownies points for me! anywho, about the scary bra incident, this happens to me too. I can’t get in mine all the way, it’s so tight to keep the girls in place, sometimes it gets twisted and stuck on top of them and I have to wake the hubs up at 5am and say help me stuff myself in here. Good thing because I don’t think I could do it alone. so yeah. we love you, and bras are evil creatures that totally fight back.
My batter was more like a dough. It wouldn’t pour at all. ??? Wondering what I did wrong. I don’t have the Formulx protein powder so I used a grass fed all whey protein powder but that was the only change I made.
i’m thinking that the sunflower seed butter may have not been oily enough. try adding some coconut oil next time!
Will do! Thanks!
The Bachelor is so much better because the women are soooo much more competitive. And cliquish. And catty. And I love the looks they shoot the other women during the rose ceremony. Also, half the women decide they’re madly in love after a week. Now that’s entertainment!
geeezethose look delicioso! Sorry about your comforter :/ and the fact that it can’t comfort you anymore 🙁
Try a sports bra that hooks! You’ll never have to deal with squeezing into one or messing up your hair! The Shock Absorber brand is pretty good.
