Wednesday Funk
Oh my goodness. The dreary weather has got me in such a funk. Someone help me! I am in the home stretch of my semester and of the time before my first week-long vacation from work (to FLORIDA). I need to just get through these next couple weeks, and try to enjoy them for the holiday time that they are. Is anyone else feeling winter blues?
A daily lunchtime salad beast.
At least I can say I have no qualms about the food I’ve been eating lately – it’s all been delicious!
Giovanni's veggie pizza, crisped up under the broiler and served on my favorite childhood plate.
Is there anything better than burnt crust pizza loaded with chunky veggies?
Giovanni's marinated chicken salad, and a festive little fork.
How about more veggies, combined with feta and some of the most delicious chicken in the world, to pair with that pizza? Or some good old-fashioned carbs?
Post-dinner snack of satisfying local kalamata olive bread.
My workouts have been going well too. I still need to re-cap the Santa’s Run and tell you guys about my PR (along with about a thousand other posts I’ve been drafting in my mind…), but I’ve been lazy with uploading photos from my iPhone, which is where the race photos are. But I’ve been doing a lot of stepping and a lot of lifting. It feels good to get back into lifting, actually. I did two Group Power classes in one week, for the first time in awhile, and am already excited about trying to continue to keep up with attending those classes. I just love the way I feel when I can lift a heavier weight, or lift the same weight for longer.
I’m outta here…sorry for such a short post, but I’ve got some (real life) work to do – bummer, ha.
Real life work lunch and snack packing.
If you strength train, do you feel more accomplished when you can lift a heavier weight for the first time or when you can lift a weight you’ve done before for a new longer length of time?
