Hey Everyone!! Guess what? I managed to convince Rod to sit for me for a very short interview while we were languishing on the beach on this glorious sunny summer day here in Vancouver about how he got so damn buff!!! He likes to do split routines (3 days on, 1 day off, different muscle groups on different days) as opposed to me (I like to do full-body every day that I weight train but only weight train every 2nd day, with cardio only on non-weight-training days) and he gives us the goods on his own personal weight lifting routine.

Rod also reveals where HE learned about the fantastic Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Pancake Recipe he shared with me, that I got YOU all addicted to!! haha!!! So special props go out to a very special lady, but you’ll have to watch to find out who it is!

Enjoy:





and here’s our Workout Song of the Day for today. Seeing as we’re talking about lifting, lets share a great song for gettin’ heavy with it!

LIMBLIFTER – Screwed It Up (ooooo baby, SO FULL OF ANGST, perfect for throwing around some good ‘n heavy iron! enjoy!)




That’s it for today everyone!! I hope you Americans out there had a safe, happy & healthy 4th of July!!
see you soon!

Hey Everyone… I had an appointment with the Hand Specialist today. I walked in there feeling a bit terrified he was going to tell me I needed some kind of surgery on my broken finger to correct whatever I’d let heal by itself this past month since I hurt it. Good news is he says I get to keep the finger, no amputation necessary! LOL.

Plus a cute story about my adventures on the hill doing my hillsprints the other day and a quick catch up about the Meetup the other night…!!





oh, and by the way, regarding my (yes, ok.. ROD’s) now world-famous Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Pancake Recipe, @Jay_Sherman on Twitter informs me that it rocks with banana and a little cinnamon whipped into the batter!! I’ll be trying THAT combination next! Sounds fabulous. And I’ve now been through a small stick of butter AND a small bottle of maple syrup all by myself, thanks to these pancakes. Thankfully my metabolism is smokin’ high due to all my workout frenzies, otherwise I might be in a little trouble here. But as long as I’m indulging in these tasty (but highly nutritious, albeit caloric) pancake treats, I know I have no excuse whatsoever to slack the daily workouts…!! HaHa. Dang!!


and as always, here’s our Workout Song of the Day:
KYLIE MINOGUE – Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
(I know!! You guys are shocked aren’t you? It’s not in there with my usual angst-filled head-banging angry stuff… but I’m telling ya, this one is GREAT for running… the beat is the perfect rhythm for a running stride of a fairly good pace. Try it, you’ll see!!)




Also, I’ve discovered a very cool fitness book that is in the throes of being revamped right now and is relaunching in about a month. I have the inside track with the guys who are producing it to getting it before their official launch date… If you’re interested in getting it early too, you definitely need to see this page: The Adonis Effect 2.0 (also currently mentioned over on the sidebar).


That’s it!! You guys all have a fabulolus weekend ok? Supposed to be sunny here. Any guesses on where you’ll find me? (yah, the beach… duh! LOL)

Hey everyone… how’s it going? Hope your weekend has been excellent… mine’s been fun. Got to babysit the nephews ALL… BY… MY…SELF this weekend… it had its good moments, and its harrowing moments!! LOL. But, I digress!! The weekend has been fun overall.

Anyway, I got to thinking some more about those fabulous Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Pancakes from my post last week and I wondered… would they be good with blueberries mixed in? I’ve never had luck making pancakes with blueberries because there always seems to be some blueberries too close to the top that burn too much while the batter isn’t quite cooked through, so dunno… I mean this batter is way different from the traditional stuff made from flour… so far I’ve had no problems with it cooking through perfectly every time.. besides, I almost want to believe that it wouldn’t matter if it doesn’t cook through all the way because its OATMEAL and COTTAGE CHEESE, so it won’t wind up being that weird mushy middle if its not cooked through all the way, right? It will just be creamy thanks to the cheese… plus I’m wondering if its better to BLEND the blueberries in with the other ingredients, in the blender and make blueberry flavoured batter? or better to just toss them into the already blended mixture whole?

Also, there’s a good chance that the finger I injured a few weeks ago actually IS broken. sigh… off to the Doctor I go… not so impressed, but I’m sick of babying it… especially if it isn’t gonna get better by itself.

ok, so after I recorded this video I decided to try the blueberry version of the pancakes… I split the difference… I threw a handful of whole blueberries into the blender after the blending was done and pulsed it three times just to chop them a bit but not blend them into puree.

The conclusion? OUTSTANDINGLY DELICIOUS!!!

mmmm mmmmm! I highly recommend you give it a try. Wow!!

I also think they’d be totally fine with the blueberries just tossed in whole. There were a few blueberries that didn’t get chopped in my three pulses and everything came out perfectly (except for the one pancake I burnt slightly because I was too busy writing this blog to pay attention to the frying pan! haha.. oops)


Ok, over ‘n out on the food chatter… here’s today’s Workout Song of the Day (and I don’t have to tell you this time what its best for right? Its obvious isn’t it, that this one is really great for Weight Training? I mean how much more motivational can a song about being a Tower of Strength be? LOL) Enjoy, its a great one!:


THE MISSION – Tower of Strength (its not the greatest sample, they should have picked a better part of the song, but you get the idea):


Enjoy your Monday!! See you soon!
