This morning I took a STRIKE class at the gym. It’s like Kickboxing with a light bar. Unfortunately, the class was not a good work out and I didn’t get my heart rate up or get sweaty. Boo.
I hate feeling like I am wasting time in a class. I didn’t wake up at 5am to just stand around with my chonies on my head!
Now that I’ve tried a few different classes and instructors I need to update my weekly workout schedule to include the classes I feel are best for my needs.
I did manage to get super dirty from the communal gloves though… Gross.
Oh.My.Gosh. Since TJ’s is still out of my favorite almond butter I had to find an alternate nut butter for now. I picked up Peanut Butter & Co.’s Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. I’ve been wanting to try this stuff forever, but I always think I should just add my own raisins and cinnamon to PB and make it myself.
Well, I’m glad I had an excuse to try it because it is AMAZING! I love it. This stuff might be dangerous if I am not careful though.
Generous amounts of Cinnamon Raisin PB on a bagel, plus generous amounts straight from the jar to “test” it 5 times.
See you in a bit!

It must be all about the instructor – I’ve taken Strike many times and each time I get DRENCHED.
Graze With Me says
I love that PB – I finished an entire jar in 3 days. So embarrassing to admit to my husband when he finally wanted to try it….
runeatrepeat says
That happened to me the other day with PB Puffins. Ben asked for them and I had to admit I had eaten them all.
runnerforever says
When I saw your hand I thought it was a giant bruise haha, glad it was just the gloves! Oh, and I want that PB!
caronae says
That PB is amazing! So addictive. Last time I tried it the raisins seemed a little hard though, maybe they have found a way to keep them nice and soft and plump. But you just realized that I need some pb and co pb. Well worth the splurge!
Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
I’ve been wanting to try that PB for a long time but I’m scared I won’t be able to stop eating it! 🙂
The glove dirt is nasty. 🙁 That’s awful when a class is lame like that….especially when you get up at that crazy hour!
runeatrepeat says
I can’t stop eating it! Be careful if you get it 🙂
kristen says
That glove dirt is just disgusting. ew ew EW.
Mighty Maple is indeed delicious- especially with apples.
Meredith says
I was at the grocery store with my Dad on Sunday picking up a few things. I saw this, and 2 other flavours and I stopped in my tracks. I was SO excited because I’ve never seen these before! The store we were at was a small chain, and usually all of the unique food finds happen in the States so I was super excited to find this is my parents town in Ontario!!
And yes, it is mighty delicious and slightly dangerous 🙂
Lisa says
I hate feeling like that too. I usually don’t do home DVDs because I feel like it’s a waste of a workout. I’d rather go run or do something else intense.
Heather says
i agree with you on the dark chocolate dreams – not my fav. id rather have chips on top of PB as well!
have you tried the other flavors. The mighty maple is kind of crazy. as in, i keep it at the office and only eat it with my breakfast or prebike ride home snacks because i fear i may try to eat an entire jar for dinner one day. 😉
im interested in hearing which classes you choose to do on weekly basis!
Lauren says
I HATE when that happens! I feel like its such a waste of time when you can’t break a sweat in a workout class.
But that Cin. Raisin PB is amazing, isn’t it? I go through jars of this stuff monthly.
Sarah-Mae @ Eat, Run, Knit says
Love the blog!!!
Put down the PB and run! I recently fell in love with Peanut Butter & Co’s Mighty Maple PB and am finding excuses to put it on just about everything! PEANUT BUTTER CRACK!
Amber K says
Gross on the communal glove. I have to say the dark chocolate is the best of those peanut butters.
She-Fit says
That is the worst when you don’t get in a good workout!!!! At least you got some good pb… cinnamon and swirl sounds soooo good
kate says
Your dirty hand looks like a massive bruise! That flavor of PB&Co is one of the only ones I havent tried. Looks tasty, though.
runeatrepeat says
It is the best flavor (okay, I’ve only tried one other one though…)
Fallon says
Have you tried their Dark Chocolate Dreams PB???? I try to think it is calorie free since I basically can’t stop myself from eating it by the spoonful.
Elisabeth says
How is it possible for an instructor to do a class and not make anyone sweat? That’s whack, and I would probably be pissed! I’m glad that you’re trying out all of these classes for me so that I don’t have to waste my time. lol. I still want to try Zumba.
runeatrepeat says
I’m glad I could be of service.
Jennifer says
Oh, gosh. I cannot have that cinnamon raisin peanut butter in my house because I can eat an entire jar in one day. It is sooo good!
Jenny says
Sorry you wasted your time in class, I hope you get a better one tomorrow!
Melissa S. says
love that flavor. and i’m heading to tj’s this weekend in bakersfield in hopes of finding that almond flaxseed nb…yet to try it!
Sana says
Ew what is that red stuff from? They should wash the gloves for members?
Courtney (Pancakes & Postcards) says
Have you tried the dark chocolate dreams? It is amazing. I have always wanted to get the mighty maple, too, but I felt the same way like you said, figuring I should just mix syrup with the PB (which I often do). I will buy it someday though…
Evan Thomas says
Ahh, yes. The cinnamon raisin swirl is SO GOOD. I might have to have some now. Something about the brown sugar
