Workout this morning:
3 sets of 15 reps on each exercise. My arms will be dead tomorrow. Guaranteed.
- Dumbbell curl
- Lying dummbell extension
- Hammer curl
- Overhead dumbbell extension
- Dumbbell shoulder press
- Dumbbell lateral raise
I can definitely see the progress from when I first started lifting to now. I am developing a nice tone in my shoulders, back, and arms. I feel so strong and empowered!!
Today's smoothie might have been the best tasting one since I've started using the Vitamix.
Into the power blender:
 |
| 1/2 cup of yogurt, 1/2 an apple-seeds and all its glory |
 |
| big handful of spinach |
 |
| 1/2 cup frozen berries |
 |
| cup of unsweetened soy milk |
 |
| a heaping sqeeze of agave necter- provided the sweetness I've been missing in all my previous smoothies |
 |
| I dug out this long lost treasure from our pantry |
 |
| I loved this Muesli on top. YUMMMOOO!! I'm obsessed w. anything cinnamon these days! |
|
Afternoon movie time:
Would highly recommend. Sort of a tear jerker. Or maybe I'm just a sap. I know I've mentioned this before but love love LOVE Mark Ruffallo!!

| UNI BOWL!! |
Uni is the most unique tasting dish I've ever had. It's creamy, earthy, musty, a bit strange, and
insanely delicious all at the same time. IS this even possible? When I first tried it, I thought it tasted like a dirty room. HA!
Tonkatsu. Very nicely fried and crispy. The pork was a little bit too chewy but it's fried dude. Enuff said.
 |
| Yellowtail cheeks |
By far the scariest looking thing to arrive on our table. I for sure thought it would eat me before I even touched it. Pretty tasty if you can get past the actual fish head.
 |
| this definitely does NOT count as dessert. |
 |
| BUT THIS SURE DOES!! |
 |
| The apple cake was deliciously cinnamony too. |
 |
| Yea I said it. IT'S CINNAMONY. I'm allowed to make up words dontcha know? |
The strawberry cheesecake haagan dazs flavor is a must try. There are actual graham cracker bites in the ice cream. O.M.FRIGGIN.G. SO GOOD!
I'm not sure if I'm going to read my book or pass out on the bed.
Food coma for reals.
