Hey Loves,

This recipe was a labour of love, for my love. My Mister was going through something last year and was on a VERY restrictive diet.I wanted to make him some comfort food but his diet was SOO tricky. I made a list of everything he was able to eat. Did some experimenting and created this bad boy! Its amazing how something as simple as cake can lift someone's spirits. To this day it is still his favourite out of all my healthy renditions. :)

I've added a couple ingredients since he's been better. But this is pretty close to the original recipe.

Apple Spice Cake

• 3.5-4 Cups Oatmeal Flour
• 1.5 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 4 Red Delicious Apples *or apple of choice. You want something sweet with a good amount of moisture ( 2 Puréed & 2 Cubed )

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, almonds and pecans (optional)
• 1/4 cup of Chia Seeds (optional)
• 1/4 cup of Flax Seeds (optional)
• 1 cup Prunes - Chopped into smaller pieces 
• A Sprinkle of  LOVE :)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Grease and flour a cake pan of choice. Muffins Pans work as well for portion control/meal prep.

Hey Loves!

I DID IT!

Happy Wednesday Loves!

I am now 3 days into my 30 day Squat & Lunge Challenge. I wanted to touch base with you guys and give you a little update.

I have done the squat challenge before and I don't remember ever being THIS sore. My butt cheeks are sore, the front side of my upper legs are CRAZY sore.  I definitely feel a bit of a burn while I am doing the squats but the burning sensation I feel while doing the lunges is BEYOND anything in  this world.

I am really impressed with the soreness I am getting from the lunges. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone doing the squat challenge to also incorporate lunges or just try doing the lunge challenge on its own. I feel like squats gets all the celebrity but (no pun intended..ha ha) lunges are pretty bad ass too!

Loves, let me tell you every time I get up from my desk at the office I am reminded at just how well the challenge is working. I may need a walker by day 30. lol I'm looking forward to  laying on the sunny beaches of Cuba unable to walk because of this challenge. Its like extreme leg day on roids.

 I just finished my 60 squats for today. I was feeling very ambitious and thought I would do my lunges right after. I was ready to go, in position and my legs pretty much told me to eff off. lol. Yep Wasn't happening. I'll get to them later in the day.

All in all great three days. Tomorrow is suppose to be my rest day but I'd like to have finished the  challenge by the time I go on vacation. I'll be skipping my first rest day and going strong!
