Afternoon exercise: Total Body Conditioning class. Although it is only a 45 minutes class, I was very surprised the first time I took it how sore I became the next day. I quickly learned it is not about quantity but the quality of exercises you do. My instructor takes simple exercises but does them in intervals and repetitions.
Earlier this morning, I went to the park. I love this view. The park was pretty empty this morning. Perhaps people were afraid of the impending rain. Regardless, it was very peaceful until this little rascal..
Running around like a bat outta hell! Where's Waldo?
Lunch today:
Mixture of curly kale and spinach. I love my bitter kale! I see kale chips in my near future.
Brown rice to make up for my pasta mistake last night.
Chicken marinated in garlic, ginger, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
Finished product! See how the huge basketful of greens turned into this small amount cooked.
Sad..I was looking forward to my breakfast last night:
Blueberries:
We all know this fruit is healthy for you but I didn't realize to what extent these were a superfood. According to my book, it has more antioxidants than any other fruit or vegetable. They are good for your brain and have anti-ageing effects (hello anti-wrinkle fruit!!), a girls gotta stay young! The recommendation is to eat 1-2 cups of blueberries or its sister fruits daily such as purple grapes, cranberries, loganberries, raspberries, strawberries, currants, blackberries, and cherries. You can also get them in any form: dried, frozen, or fresh- so easy to incorporate! If eating these fruits can increase my chances in fighting off disease and cancer; seems like a no brainer to me.
