Shoulders still sore today from Sunday. Good workout!
Arms were a little sore this week. Better but still need to work on that.
Abs were not as sore this go around. Those crunches kick butt, but I think my body is warming up to them.
DIET - HIGH PROTEIN
Breakfast (post-workout) kicked off with about 1 cup of oatgurt. Into the oatgurt base went a peeled and chopped mango. Outstanding combination! The mango was very sweet. To finish things off, I blended up a toffee protein smoothie of almond milk, some chilled coffee, a frozen banana, espresso flavored whey protein isolate, and some peanuts. Son of a (fill-in-the-blank)! Best smoothie I've ever made!
A fine looking mango and some oatgurt in waiting...
Here is the blessed toffee smoothie...
Mid-morning snack was a 1/2 cup of yogurt, 1 T of ground flax seeds, and 1/3 scoop plain whey protein isolate powder.
Lunch was a grass-fed beef burger wrapped in collard green leaves along with a blended zucchini salad. What's that you say? A blended salad? The recipe is here
Mid-afternoon snack was 2 hard boiled egg whites and one yolk along with a handful of raw nut mix (cashews, almonds, walnuts).
For dinner I went back to my stir-fry stand by....such a good meal. I steamed up broccoli, green beans from my sister's garden, and some mixed veggies. When those were ready they got mixed into a sauce of coconut oil, tamari, garlic, and hot mustard. For protein, some leftover chicken was thrown into the mix as well.
Pre-bed snack was...hang on to your seat...a half-cup of cottage cheese. Exciting, huh? (~:
See you tomorrow!
