Breakfast: Black coffee, scrambled eggs, strawberries, walnuts
Really hungry mid morning so had a Larabar.
Lunch: Chicken, romaine salad, red and yellow bell pepper, olive oil, lemon, and honey dressing
Afternoon snack: Little piece of leftover chicken, almonds
WOD: Jerks and floor sweepers. I know HOW the jerk is supposed to be done, I just can't put the darned thing together. Mine is more like a little dip with an ugly press. Anyway, managed 73 pounds which is what I did in January. Something else to work on! Floor sweepers with 33, 38, 43, and 53 pounds. Got easier as the weight got higher.
Dinner: Grilled chicken, lightly broiled butternut squash with a tiny bit of olive oil, asparagus, walnuts. Toasted the walnuts in the broiler with the squash, what a difference. Toasting them really brings out the taste of them and makes them crunchy. I'm going to try it with pecans tomorrow.
I'm betting I'll have a glass of wine tonight.
First CFFM team member to cross the finish line!
Cute pictures!!! Don't stress about the jerk. That is a complicated move and I don't think anyone does it perfect.
ReplyDeletetoasted walnuts: huge improvement, I concur! But I think a bit of the nutrient value gets lost....
ReplyDeleteOK, so this is not info you've asked for and prolly more than you care to know, but I just happen to come across a nut article on Mark's Daily Apple- check it out- he says toasting actually inhibits nuts' anti nutrients (good!) but ties up other mineral/vit content (?)....so tis a bit confusing to me...I think I may try it again soon- they ARE SO much better, yes? Also, he mentions soaking for a few hours then drying completely for the best way to enhance flavor and make all good things available...just in case you were wondering...teeheehee
