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!!

I’m tired tonight!! I worked out at the gym on the Stairmaster for an hour and stretched and rolled on the foam roller.  It’s always warm in the gym, but it was really hot tonight, the minute I walked in, I noticed it was warm.  I think that’s why I feel tired.  I drank two full bottles of water while I was working out, which would be 46 oz, I think I sweated that all out while I was there!!

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…
