Sorry I’m Not Sorry

September 21, 2012 By Laura

I’m exhausted.

 

After a killer leg day (more on that Monday), I’m too pooped to poop.  Good thing since I’m so sore I can’t lower myself to the toilet.

So today is a random post.  I hope you don’t mind. #sorryimnotsorry <— new favorite has tag.

 

1. Inspiration

I find this especially appropriate after the afore-mentioned leg day.  It’s contains some language (as my mother would say), but I think it’s appropriately used. #sorryimnotsorry

 

 

2. Things I Should Care About More At The Gym

I really loved this post from Sarah.  Flashing people accidentally?  I’m probably guilty.  #sorryimnotsorry

The Someecard pic she included was especially awesome… because I’m a klutz and have the shin bruises and oven scars to prove it.

 

 

3. Smoothie Demo

I’m doing my first “food” demo this weekend!  My trainer and his wife asked me to do a smoothie demo at their gym to show people how quick and easy it is to get a good protein punch.

There will be 4 blender recipes, including my Carrot Cake Protein Shake… and a new smoothies that I’ll post on Monday.  Confession: I’m nervous. #sorryimnotsorry

 

 

4. Jamaican Tofu Chowder with Collards

This vegan chowder recipe from Janet has been on my Soup Pinterest board for ever and I really want to try it now that it’s getting cooler.

Or Allie could just make it since she has too many collards and bring me some when she visits in a couple of weeks. *Yes, I’m that lazy right now. #sorryimnotsorry

 

 

5. Pumpkin S’Mores Cake

Does this really need an introduction?  I’m making this Pumpkin S’Mores Cake from Stephanie after my competition.  It could trump last winter’s Sweet Potato and Toasted Marshmallow Cake.

And I might eat the whole thing. #sorryimnotsorry

 ***

One more (did I take it too far?).  I’m ravenous today.  Leg day is an appetite booster.  #sorryimnotsorry

What is your #sorryimnotsorry today?

What’s your favorite recently pinned/bookmarked recipe or inspiration?

    That is awesome about the smoothie demo, Laura..way to go :)! Those lucky gym-goers are in for a treat!! I need this s’more cake in my life…anything s’more is bound to be a win! And for what it’s worth, your smoothie recipes take up a huge chunk of what I’ve bookmarked!

      September 22, 2012 at 6:36 PM

      Those smoothies are the bomb! The hummus was very good too. Thank you so much for your demo at House of Payne today!

      • Laura says

        September 22, 2012 at 10:20 PM

        Shirley – Thank YOU so much for coming and trying everything. I will post that cherry recipe Monday! 🙂

        • Shirley says

          September 23, 2012 at 10:13 AM

          Woo! Can’t WAIT. I told my sis about it, and even she wants to try it.

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:23 PM

      Thank you! I think it went pretty well. 🙂

    September 21, 2012 at 9:11 AM

    You have NO reason to be sorry, you’re awesome – and your recipes are, especially. Good luck with the food demo!

  4. Tiff (@LoveSweatBeers) says

    September 21, 2012 at 9:17 AM

    That chowder sounds great. I may have to pin it too, which of course means it’ll sit on the board a few months before I actually consider making it. 😉

    I love the hashtag too, and mine for the day is: I’m getting my hair done after work even though I don’t really neeeeeeeed highlights just yet. #sorryimnotsorry – I just feel like primpin.

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:24 PM

      Right?! I feel like posting that I want to make something commits me to doing it more. I’ve got it planned for next week!

      How are those highlights? Love getting my hair done. 🙂

  5. Janae @ Bring-Joy says

    September 21, 2012 at 9:43 AM

    I love your new hashtag. I think we all need to use that a bit more often, especially since most women apologize too much (have you ever noticed that? men hardly EVER apologize.).

    Wow, that pumpkin smores cake is incredible. What a combo.

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:25 PM

      SO true!!! We need to stop that.

  6. Allie says

    September 21, 2012 at 9:53 AM

    Yeah girl! Leg day is TOUGH! That cake looks amaze though!

    #sorryimnotsorry that the last thing i wanted to do today was shower – eff work. i had to shower because i went to the gym and #sorryimnotsorry i didn’t do the last set up single leg deadlifts today – i just didn’t freaking want to. so THERE. hahah

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:27 PM

      Ha! My personal hygiene goes wayyyy down when I work from home. 🙂

  8. Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says

    September 21, 2012 at 10:13 AM

    Definitely just pinned that cake recipe. S’mores and pumpkin = two of my favourite things in one cake. Yea, I need it.

    #sorryimnotsorry I got home from the gym an hour ago and I have no intentions to shower for a little while. :-p

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:28 PM

      You HAVE to let me know if you make it before I do!!!

  9. Calee (@chimes) says

    September 21, 2012 at 10:26 AM

    love this post.

    #sorryimnotsorry I ate nearly an entire pot roast last fall when I started lifting. definitely on a leg day. (and I wonder why I put on so much weight?)

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:30 PM

      An ENTIRE pot roast?! Rock on with your bad self!

  10. Eva @ Committed2Nutrition says

    September 21, 2012 at 10:40 AM

    #sorryimnotsorry is my FAVVVVV! haha I say it so much it’s obnoxious. Loving this post! Especially the somecard.. as much as I can be coordinated and teach Zumba, I am SO KLUMSY. I always good food everywhere. I even get annoyed with myself over this, ha. That is also awesome about your smoothie demo!! And seriously, random posts are always my favorite to read 🙂

    September 21, 2012 at 11:10 AM

    I loved the part that you were too pooped to poop…that totally happens to me! I completely get that! Your PB&Jeggs totally rocked my socks off! I did it last night for snackage and it was too dark to take a pick. I need to make it during the day now so I can get a shot of it.

    As for the #sorryimnotshorry, that comes with my workouts….my me time. I don’t care what’s going down, nothing gets in the way of that time for me. By the way, I’m so envious of your legs right now! I know mine can’t get that cut because I can’t lift that heavy, so I have to deal with what I have, but dang woman…you are rocking some nice quads!

    I hope you have a great weekend and get some rest!

  12. Mandy says

    September 21, 2012 at 11:16 AM

    Hahahah I love the sorry i’m not sorry addition today. That cake looks insane, you’ll have earned it for sure! Good luck in your presentation, I know you will be awesome!

    whoa… whoa… that cake… whoa. I tried a chocolate pumpkin cake from a local bakery last night and I’m in the mood for pumpkin!!

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:33 PM

      Ohhhh… chocolate pumpkin cake sounds incredible.

  15. Christine says

    September 21, 2012 at 11:50 AM

    Once you get started it will be no sweat. You’ve got this one down. for sure.
    And I repinned that soup and a couple others off your soup board. Yummy! Love soup season.

  16. Alexandra says

    September 21, 2012 at 11:52 AM

    MUST HAVE THAT CAKE 😀
    Have a blast at the food demo, I bet that’ll be such a cool experience!

  17. Alysha @Shesontherun says

    September 21, 2012 at 12:05 PM

    I would love to go to your smoothie demo! I made a smoothie this morning to get over my cold. It had supergreens, a frozen banana, almond milk and ice. My friend said the supergreens taste like farm, so It’s good that I’ve lost my sense of taste! BTW, What type of blender do you use? Mine is from the Food Network and it’s OK, but I wouldn’t mind a better one.

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:35 PM

      I have a Vitamix… it was the best large chunk of $$ i’ve ever spent.

    September 21, 2012 at 12:28 PM

    Pumpkin s’mores cake. Jessssus almighty. That is all. (in a good way)

    I use that hash tag too. Haha love it

  19. Sylvia @ Frolic Through Life says

    September 21, 2012 at 12:29 PM

    Good luck on the smoothie demo! That S’mores cake sounds like heaven! I’m coming over for a slice! 😉

  20. Your Trainer says

    September 21, 2012 at 1:05 PM

    As long as nothing is green tomorrow, I’ll sample it. Oh, who am I kidding, I’ll eat anything. Even if you drop it on the floor.

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:36 PM

      I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not…

    September 21, 2012 at 2:16 PM

    i’ve definitely been a flasher at the gym, not on purpose. But hey, at least i knew everyone and they laughed. Definitely had the so sore that i can’t poop. ahhh, good time. JK, never again.

    Wish i could come to your demo. Mmm, good stuff!

    I’m so bummed I’m missing your food demo debut – make someone take pics. Or video! I think today’s #sorryimnotsorry is my decision to eat fish and seafood. 🙂

    That cake looks AMAZING!

    I had a 1 pump pumpkin spiced latte today which is a lot sweeter than my usual coffee beverage choice #sorryimnotsorry

  29. StoriesAndSweetPotatoes says

    September 21, 2012 at 8:31 PM

    Hehe. Never be sorry 😉 I behaved at the gym today but I have dropped two things in the kitchen and gotten tomato sauce on TWO different shirts, just today. Whatev.

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:44 PM

      As if I had to prove my level of klutz, I dropped a full glass of water and cut my pointer finger on the glass. *sigh*

    #2 is so the story of my life. If I got embarrassed, I think I’d be constantly humiliated by the things I do. Especially the things I do that I have no idea I’m doing..l have a great weekend lady!

  31. Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli says

    September 21, 2012 at 8:51 PM

    Damnit woman! Quit posting stuff that I immediately want to make…whether it’s your own recipe or not! My pinterest is going to explode!

    Today I had the entire day off…I have errands to run, laundry to do, and a sink FULL of dirty dishes…you think I accomplished ANY of that stuff today? No, instead I…

    Worked out with a DVD because I was too lazy to go to the gym.
    Got an hour long massage.
    And then sat around the house doing absolutely nothing (unless you count mindlessly surfing the web an actual “something”) for the rest of the day.

    Now I’m drinking a beer…and eating a weird combination of stuff for dinner because I have no energy to put thought into anything elaborate.

    I’m tired. I don’t care. #sorryimnotsorry

    Good luck with the smoothie demo. You will be great; I’m sure of it. You’re entitled to be sore, lazy and not sorry after working so hard.
    I did strength training at the gym today and I’m definitely not sorry. Thanks for the push.

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:47 PM

      Way to go!!! Are you sore? That the best sort of not sorry. 🙂

      • Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says

        September 23, 2012 at 6:55 AM

        Yes completely sore, Like it hurts to lift my arms sore. Like soak in the bathtub sore. Like the best kind of I’m not sorry sore. Hope the demo went wll; I’m sure you rocked it!

    September 22, 2012 at 6:24 AM

    Thanks for the shout-out, Laura! I recently joined pinterest to help me with some of my bookmarked recipes… well, my online bookmarked recipes. So many are still buried in cookbooks. 😉

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:50 PM

      You’re welcome! I love your recipes. I think I’m going to try it with tempeh and spinach.

    September 22, 2012 at 1:25 PM

    I’m forced to actually work instead of blog one day–and look what happens! I miss a brilliant idea for using up more of my never-ending collard supply. I’m sick of ’em and that stew STILL sounds delish. Hope you had a blast at that demo! Two weeks!

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:51 PM

      See what happens when you’re too productive?! LOL!

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:52 PM

      Yes! Come taste test some ideas for me. 🙂

  40. Mary Legare Whaley says

    September 22, 2012 at 10:49 PM

    Haha! Normally, I loathe the “inspirational/motivational quotes” that litter Pinterest and Facebook. Even though I’m no stranger to 14 mile runs (most are awesome, but some are kind of not so awesome), I’m totally taken aback by the quotes that are re-shared by so many bloggers about exercising to the extreme. However, I LOVE when I find something that has some humor in it. I LOVE the “lying slut” reference…it makes me laugh at loud. I think this kind of quote inspires everyone, because we all know the feeling of wanting to quit (even though we’re awesome and can go all the way!), we just need to laugh off the discomfort. I didn’t read your #2 link…but I’ve seen some stuff at the gym I never wanted to see. There’s one guy I call “Spread Eagle.” Use your imagination. I’ve seen his junk. Moving on…pumpkin smores cake? Um. I must eat that. All of it.

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 10:52 PM

      Oh lord… I could have lived without that mental image… 😉

    September 22, 2012 at 11:05 PM

    awesome, I hope the smoothie-ing went well! 🙂

    I love the someecard… I trip on the flooring at the gym ALL THE TIME, it’s weird. and the t shirt I had on at the gym today? my juice from this morning was spilled down the front, I had no idea… *sigh*

    • Laura says

      September 22, 2012 at 11:24 PM

      Ha! I did the same thing… except it was smoothie on my shorts post-demo. Doh.

  42. Holly says

    September 23, 2012 at 4:39 AM

    hahahaha. Too pooped to poop. I have days like that- but that’s probably TMI.

    Good luck on the smoothie demo! Very exciting!

    The tofu and collard soup looks so inviting. I have a huge bushel of chard I need to do something with.

  43. cakewhiz says

    September 23, 2012 at 11:29 AM

    i know you are in pain and i hope you feel better but this was the funniest post ever….hahah
    i started going to the gym again (i hadn’t been going for a few weeks) and my legs are dying….i don’t wanna go back today but if i don’t, i am gonna get lazy and just stop going altogether but lord! the pain :S

    btw, that cake looks sinfully delicious! 😉

    • Laura says

      September 24, 2012 at 11:58 AM

      Why, thank you! 🙂

      Just tell yourself you’ll actually feel better after the gym – moving around helps get that lactic acid moving out.

    I love the klutz part… #sorryimnotsorry but I have so many shin bruises and scars from missed box jumps, bike spills, running into walls, etc…whatever, they add character, right? 🙂

    • Laura says

      September 24, 2012 at 12:11 PM
