Days 13-14 (The Weekend!) and Today

I love weekends where the only thing I have to do is exist. No plans, no work, just doing what I want to do, helps me to feel human again. I kept my meals simple, meat and veggies. Have started relying a LOT on coffee, which is probably not healthy, but hey, no one's perfect.

Sundays are my rest day from the gym. I usually go in for cardio work and then take the day for myself. This Sunday I ran for 15 minutes, biked twelve miles, and then cooled down with a 15 minute jog. I'm a firm believer in active rest days, so then I took the dog on a walk and meandered around outside.

I used Sunday as a refeed day. I don't have much body fat to lose, so my body knows when it's been underfed. I grazed through the day to prep it for Warrior for the week. I didn't go overboard, but I did enjoy some sushi.

On Saturday I attended a cooking seminar called "All About Kale". Kale is one of those superfoods that you either hate or are obsessed with. Personally, I love it. I think it's because I love anything that has been deemed as healthy, but really, it tastes really good, especially covered in coconut oil and bacon. The presenter gave handouts of recipes and I must say that I'm excited for mini kale pizzas in the near future.

Thanksgiving is slowly approaching, and the paleo dessert recipes are flourishing. I can't decide between a pumpkin apple pie, fruit crisps, or fall muffins. I will probably make them all. I love desserts, and I would be lying if I said I didn't indulge time to time. This is why I work out so much. I'm a fat girl stuck in a fit body.

Hope all is well for everyone, and that my posts will get more interesting as lift continues.
