Day eighteen...day of rest?

With as sore as I was last night, I woke up this morning expecting not to be able brush my hair or sit down with ease. I'm a little tender but not that extreme. It is amazing how fast the body recuperates with a good diet, stretch, and roll out on the foam roller. Today was going to be my rest day but with the whole day off from work? I think not. Maybe I'll go do some light cardio and yoga later this evening.

Breakfast: 1 cup black coffee, 4 egg omelet with 3 oz grilled flank steak, asparagus, blistered grape tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, handful of blueberries, 1/2 an apple, and 3 strawberries. With a full tummy, I'm off to the grocery store. I've been craving spaghetti squash..so think I'll make a homemade marinara sauce (with of course MEAT) to go with it.

Snack: 1/2 pound of cooked shrimp, 1/2 avocado, yellow onion, grape tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro, fresh lemon, coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Ended up doing 20 minutes of interval training and 30 minutes of abs halfway through the day.

Lunch: 6 oz grilled chicken breast, 1 cup of spinach drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, 1 boiled egg, 2 bacon slices, handful of pine nuts.

Snack: Handful of blackberries, 3 oz grilled chicken.

Dinner: 2 cups oven roasted spaghetti squash, steamed green beans, and ground turkey breast marinara. (peeled and seeded roma tomatoes-food processed, fresh oregano, fresh basil, 1 bay leaf, diced tomatoes, carrots, celery, green bell pepper, yellow onions, 2 garlic cloves, salt, and pepper) Never did marinara with ground turkey before, it was actually really good and went perfectly with the spaghetti squash.

I am surprised that I didn't snack more today. Though, other than running errands and my twenty minutes of cardio..I've been lazy and I was unmotivated to leave the house for 6:30 yoga tonight. Yes ME. I know, sometimes I listen to my body..weird. Guess that yesterday's workout took more out of me than I thought! Boulder shoulder, big girl biceps, and a bad ass back workout tomorrow morning with Dee. Think I'll make myself some tea and enjoy the rest of my evening with a movie.
