Morning ladies!
So a week or so ago I chickened out of buying kale.
But when I went to the grocery store last night, I sucked it up and told
myself I would learn how to deal with kale. I hear too many awesome things about it to not at least try it once. So I bought a bundle.
With a lot of trial and error, and definitely more than 15
minutes later, Bobby Flay, I produced this:

The flash doesn't really do it justice... |
And to be honest, it wasn't that bad. I chopped up a couple
tomatoes, some ham and made a dressing with olive oil, balsamic vinegar,
rosemary and cumin. Then tossed all of it with some gluten-free past and bam:
pasta salad lunches for me n the bf. I was surprised to find out that the kale
was actually the best and most flavourful part of it. 10/10 will eat kale
again. Do you ladies have a preparation suggestion apart from sautéing it?
Now for the exercise portion of this post.
Tuesday was a little
bit of good and bad. I did an 8 km track but I had SUCH a hard time with it. Between
eating a lot of red meat on the weekend and not exercising for three days my
body was toast. It was a pretty scenic run though down Queenspark.

5.19 Miles or 8.33 km |
Wednesday I had intended to do a long run but only ended up
doing 4 km… I think my body was telling me no haha.
Thursday I think I had a really good day. Did a short fast
run and did 3.5 km in 30 minutes, according to the treadmill (4+km according to
my app), and then did a lengthy upper body workout. I felt pretty good about it
considering I had no motivation whatsoever to work out.
Today I have leg destruction day planned after a 30 minute run.
Saturday and Sunday off!
It’s alarming how long my posts are getting. I’ll work on
that.
Keep at it ladies!
