You’ve heard before that low-fat chocolate milk is a natural, affordable way to refuel after a workout.
So it shouldn’t surprise me that I saw this in a magazine last night:
“Dark chocolate might increase your exercise performance, according to a new study.”
Dear Jesus,
Thank you.
Love Always,
SR
And what magazine would be talking so much about chocolate?
DO NOT read this issue if you’re giving up chocolate for Lent, on a diet, or for some weird reason trying to not eat chocolate. The whole dang is full of cocoa from chocolate pasta to cocoa-rubbed ribs to four layer chocolate cakes. I’ve never ripped out so many recipe pages in my life.
Even chocolate purses…
And because eating too much chocolate might cause you waver in your fitness goals, I made some (un)motivational posters for you. This time I just added on to actual ones, at least for most of them.
I made this one with a Google image
Side note: Does anyone else hate the word “tumblr”? Just add the dang ‘e’ and make it normal!

I love you for finding that article!!!!
Now if I can only convince my stomach that eating chocolate before my run is a good thing-I’ll have it made!!! Oh, and I’m totally going out and buying some dark chocolate kisses tomorrow
I love your (un) motivational posters. And I want everything in that magazine.
I literally laughed out loud at the chronic pain.
Now I want chocolate!! And yes tumblr is the worst word!
Chocolate is always the answer! I am attending a Chocolate Festival this weekend. I will be (over)indulging!
I finally did it. I bought Bic Bands! I have been resisting for awhile now, but they are just too cute.
Love the posters! Lol
hilarious! love this article
I love you for digging up that ol’ BIC Band photo.
well, I loved you already. but now I love you even more, you sneaky lady. especially with those awesome unmotivation posters.
LOVE IT! Because I love chocolate.
drooling.
Lucky me! Instead of giving up something for Lent, I vowed to put put aside $2 into my kitty jar instead of my usual $1 every work day. That means I can use the moolah to buy the magazine, right???? Please tell me “yes”!
I’ve been doing it right the whole time! Thanks for the affirmation!
haha…these are awesome
Chocolate before AND after a run?!? YES!!!
Chocolate gummy worms?! I think you’ve revealed to me a new love!
Dang you….I gave up chocolate for lent ; )
Agree, tumblr is the most annoying “word”.
You crack me up! Love the additions on the motivation posters!
Bahahaha, the Jimmy Dean poster is killing me
Love those posters … way to add your own motivational spin!
love these. chocolate for the win!
I refuel with milk chocolate- Yum! However, your post is quite mean- haha, gave up sweets for lent…so of course that means chocolate…..although I can have a cheat day on Sundays….so I might have to bust into some chocolate. Those articles look fantabulous, as for one hershey kiss, that’s not my style, more like 6-a million….. guess I should be amped for the gym then huh?
Those posters are too funny! And if we eat some chocolate to go 50% farther, once we’ve reached that distance should we pop some more chocolate to go 50% farther again? Hey – just trying to find an excuse!
ohhhh chocolate recipes. I gotta grab that mag. Love the Food Network and their magazine.
Would you believe I’m not a huge chocolate fan? I mean I wouldn’t turn down a Newmans Own cookie but I can take it or leave it – however I will be buying a bag of kisses now I’d like to see if there’s a difference!
Mmmmm chocolate, drinking my skinny mocha right now ; ) I so NEED bic bands, I keep saying I am going to order and then never do – must get on that. Go Team GAB!
Dear SR,
I’ve been waiting for another BIC band sale!
Thank you very much,
Addicted to BIC bands
get ‘em today girl!!
chocolate covered espresso beans are double the boost! love ‘em…
Ha – those posters rock!!
And I’m one of those weird freaks who doesn’t like chocolate.
I’ll take Skittles or Starburst any day!
So this dingaling (along w/ my coworker) decided to give up chocolate for lent. I have that same mag (obvi, you just saw it on my blog) and MAN it is driving me crazy. it’s just SITTING next to my bed saying “MAKE EVERYTHING INSIDE OF THIS ISSUE.” it’s taunting me, really.
I love those posters…too funny.
Love choco milk…fave right now is the silk almond dark chocolate milk, it’s so yummy!
Thx for the info on the bic bands!
