Balsamic Vinegar

I started using Balsamic Vinegar on my vegetables, I like to sprinkle this on my cucumbers, tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and whatever other fresh vegetables I eat.  You don’t need oil with it either.   Try it,  if you haven’t I think you’ll enjoy it.  I even started putting this on my salads!  It’s so good, I love it!

My hip injury is slowly getting better, I think it’s going to take longer than four weeks though.  I’m thinking more along the lines of 8-12 weeks!  It’s still sore and it hurts, but not like it did, I can tell an improvement!  My workouts have been modified so, I am not standing.  I do all my upper body and core training seated on a bench or on the floor! My trainer and I have decided that we will use this time to lean me out and get cut.  I noticed today after 3 weeks that I am starting to lean out.  I am looking forward to working out with my trainer tomorrow, after not being able to workout on the weekends I am ready for a good workout!!

I need to finish packing up my meals for the week, so I’ll close this blog for now and remember that “one step starts the journey!”  Start now!!

Such a nice day today, I love this weather!  I went and ran the bridges tonight twice, my legs are sore from last night’s work out…so, after I post here, I’m going to go roll on a foam roller and stretch out really well. 

I ran across the Perdue Chicken website today and it has some really good chicken & turkey recipes, it’s a pretty good website, if you’re interested here’s the link: http://www.perdue.com/

Awesome work out tonight!! I am going to be sore tomorrow!  It was tough, but I loved it!!  I held a plank for 3 minutes tonight, that was tough.  I was shaking for the last-minute or so, that was hard! 

I had to go and pick up my award for the Winter Beach Run, because they weren’t ready at the race, it’s cute!

I was going to blog a little longer, but I have so much to still do, and I need to get back to it…so here’s my food journal…
