Happy Valentines Day Friends! I am not big on the manufactured holiday and believe you should always do little things to show those you love them how much you love them. And I'm referring to actions not necessarily material things. But I do think the day is a nice guideline for the men and women out there that need a specified day to be sweet :)
Anyway it has been a few since I posted for two reasons.
One I have been busy trying to keep all the balls up in the air.
Two I was a little frustrated and was just putting one foot in front of the other on the diet front.
But I had my quarterly assessment at the gym on Sunday and realized I am making progress. I gained 1.25 pounds of lean muscle and the physical fitness improvements I have made in the past year are phenomenal. My resting heart rate went from 83 to 50! Most of my fitness tests were initially below average or well below average and are now well above average! We are also going to try a different focus for the next month - I am going to lay off all the cardio classes I love so much and focus on lifting and lifting heavy. Lean muscle baby.
On the cooking front, I made a Clean Mexican Layer Dip based on this recipe and it was awesome! I made my own taco seasoning and the only change I would make would be to take out the lime in one of the layers because it was a little too salty. And I love me some salt.......
I also have played with clean chocolate chip cookies and really wasn't impressed. I'll keep experimenting and let you know if I find any that are worth it.
Right now I am really busy with school and we have made the decision to finally start our remodel in our master bedroom and bath so I imagine things are about to get insanely chaotic. But since it is VD, I'll be sappy.....at least I'm get to do these things with my best friend and the love of my life.
