Let’s talk cookies & workouts. Those two things go together, right?
Cameron has been raving about his mom’s peanut butter cookies ever since we first started dating in college, but I hadn’t tried them until last weekend. Well, he was right – they are the best peanut butter cookies I’ve ever had! I asked his mom for the recipe and she kindly shared it so do yourself a favor and make these. I’m giving some away as gifts for co-workers and Cameron is really mad about it.

I started way too hot out of the gate with this one. I was cruising along until we got to the wall balls. At that point, the person I was trying to stay in front of caught up to me and passed me, and then my motivation to go fast just went out the window. I ended up being in the middle of the last run when they called time for the 30 min cap. It was pretty heartbreaking, but I think I’ll get over it.
Saturday & Sunday were deemed rest days because my body was done for. We did some Christmas shopping and hit up the beach. Winter in Naples is pretty awesome.
You look so gorgeous in that party picture! That is so cool you worked out with Cameron’s parents, how funny! Love the capris in that picture too 🙂
