I think I posted it on my TR. My physical therapist sent me for X-rays because I am STILL having foot pain. No fracture but they think I may have a torn tendon. I have an MRI scheduled next week. Until then I am in the boot of shame

Cupcake Friday
(as if just being Friday is not sweet enough)
Chocolate Beer Cupcake
Captain Cooks (POLY)
On to our next resort and a favorite of my fellow original cupcake, who is still on the fence with this trip (she is married to a high school coach and her daughter is a varsity basketball player and yep, this trip could fall right in the middle of play offs I am so hoping that she can come she is my twiddle). So in the POLY we will be looking for Captain Cooks (as well as the bar for that Lapu Lapu). Apparently Captain Cooks is a hidden gem at WDW in terms of cupcakes as they cycle through several different cupcakes, usually coming up with fun and innovative ideas and here is there latest
I totally could see myself again sitting outside enjoy my cupcake and drink among my fellow cupcakes...
I figured this cupcakes name is making you sit a little taller as you read my research, since the Pina Colada did not work for you how about Chocolate Beer?
Yes, this cupcakes is actually made with beer! This cupcake is made with a base of a standard cupcake and then the bakers us the Kona Brewing Companys Pipeline Porter in both the buttercream frosting and the cupcake batter. The Pipeline Porter is Konas darkest beer and uses 100% Kona coffee beans in the brewing process for the porter. It is one of the top selling beers at Kona. It is then topped off by a chocolate covered pretzel.
Nothing special on the inside...
Here are the reviews I found
The frosting is very good. Very malty, not too sweet. The cake itself, you could definitely taste the beer.
It was a very interesting flavor. The beer and chocolate flavors shared prominence, and it definitely had the taste and aftertaste of beer. The barley and hops taste was noticeable. It seemed like a bizarre combination of flavors. Im glad I tried it, but its probably not something I would get again.
This actually excited me quite a bit since this is my favorite of their beers and I thought it would add great flavor to the dessert. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. I love beer and I love cupcakes but I felt like this one fell flat. The cake itself was ok but honestly just tasted like slightly dry chocolate cake. The frosting had an amazing texture that would have been enjoyable but it tasted overwhelmingly of beer, and not in a good way. I thought the one saving grace would be the chocolate covered pretzels (one of my favorite snacks) but they were stale and far from satisfying. My advice; try one of the other amazing cupcakes Captain Cooks offers and drink a beer with your dinner. You will be much happier you did.
So you see it gets mixed reviews, but I am not always one to listen to reviews because everyone has an opinion and only mine counts....
Personally this cupcake is NOT for me, I am not a beer fan (I prefer the hard stuff in girly drinks). What are your thoughts?
Aww, well I know those PT can put the hammer down!!!! Mine is not crazy about me doing the Peachtree and down graded me to the 5k for the Diva. I have had to add massage therapy because of tight fascia and scar tissue. Be good and stay in the boot!!! Andreah you are seriously funny
Since I have been sentenced to the boot of shame (moon boot for foot issue) I am working in my "other" training program tonight.

. . . but I thought this group might want to start dropping some last minute Mother's Day hints. I think I may casually drag Gavin into Godiva and let him buy me one of each

Oh man...so love Godiva! But not for Mother's Day...trying to get some weight off before Rome. I am hoping my family will take me to the run store in Fort Worth on Mother's Day
I'm so sorry about the boot, but working on your other training is the PERFECT remedy for that!
I'm doing that sort of training today as well! Wine festival in my little town...I wait ALL YEAR for this thing...I can walk to the event and stumble home.

Andreah,Hey guys! Here's the blank workout sheet for this week. This time you can either type on it or you can print and handwrite. #upgrade

As for me, I'm not even posting my results from last week. I wasn't a TOTAL loser, I did do SOME stuff, but several things got in the way this week, a stubborn-slow IT band recovery, a mini-crisis at work, the loss of my great-uncle (super-sweet man, saw him only once a year or so, but I have family in town to visit as a result), and visiting with my high-school boyfriend that I hadn't seen in 17 years (he and his girlfriend were passing through town while relocating from Maui to the British Virgin Islands). I didn't even wear my Fitbit consistently, which is SO unlike me. I'm a slave to that little gadget. So, yeah, I didn't keep track of my stuff, and I'm declaring this week a do-over.
Here's the plan. I need to get back on track in a terrible way. If I stick to the plan this week, and log all my nutrition into Fitbit (good, bad or cupcake), I'll treat myself to this super-adorable tank from Etsy:

Happy training everyone! Hope your weather is as beautiful as ours in Memphis!
