Well the weekend was pretty laid back as far as workouts. I didn't get near as much activity in as I would've liked, but that's my own fault and I have no problem owning that. Anyway, Monday night I started feeling a little off and by 1am Tuesday morning I couldn't keep anything in my stomach. I spent Tuesday with no food and very little hydration and finally yesterday was back to eating and drinking normally and I knew without food or water the day prior a workout (especially a hard one) was out of the question, so until today I've had FIVE days off....not at ALL what I intended, but taking care of your body also includes knowing when to take it easy and let it heal and I needed the healing.
However, this morning I hit it hard! I strapped on the iPhone, bumped up the tunes, and rocked the 1st day of the second week of C25K and not only did I do the C25K I did it primarily on hills! YAY me! It was hard and I was shaking like a leaf when I got back meaning I didn't have enough fuel prior to my workout, but a container or yogurt calmed the shakes and plenty of water has me rehydrated and now I'm short circuiting like I drank an energy drink....imagine that kind of a high without any consumption of chemicals or caffeine...pretty amazing what your body can do when you decide there is no other option huh?
Anywho....I made an alfredo sauce Tuesday night when I was starting to get a little energy back....the sauce was made from CAULIFLOWER! Yup....worried about getting your veggies in? Worry no more! Cauliflower, a tid bit of butter, some cream, veggie stock (I used water from cooking the cauliflower) and some seasoning and there you have it!! YUM YUM YUM! I put mine over shrimp and steamed veggies for dinner last night and will probably top some chicken later this week.
Today doesn't have a menu so far, but my smoothie this morning was blueberries, strawberries (with the tops), Kale, Flax and coconut milk and blended up and beautiful....who am I kidding? It wasn't beautiful, it looked like swamp sludge, but it was yummy and I'm so glad my kids don't turn up their noses to icky looking stuff, they mooched quite a bit of it off of me actually. Stinkers!
Yogurt for my second "breakfast" and I'm ready to rock this day.
I've also been enjoying some smoked salmon for snacks...YUM! So so so good and gotta love the good fats and health benefits that come from it. A little higher in sodium than I would prefer and the bones are still in there so I have to be careful I don't lodge one of those buggers in my throat, but all in all a good snack pared with a healthy carb (fruit or veggie).
It's Thursday, the weekend's almost here! YAY!
