I took some time off from Crossfit. #1 because I was pregnant and #2 because I found out I had bulging discs on my spine. Not sure what from, but assume after all these years of random training: karate, cheerleading, softball, triathlons, Half Ironman, riding my bike in AIDS Lifecycle from San Francisco to L.A. in one week (545 miles), Crossfit, Bikram, crashing a few times on my dirt bike, and so on...that something didn't set well. With that said, I am mostly hiking these days and really miss the challenge of Crossfit. When my mother in law invited me to the annual Christmas party I couldn't show up empty handed. I miss all my old workout partners and decided to attend. YES, my mother in law is 65 and has been doing Crossfit for 2 years now. Very proud! When we arrived there was taco man, tons of appetizers, and many desserts. I must have had the healthiest dessert there. These are super yummy too. Easy to make and I dare you to only eat one.
