Happy Friday all!
My legs are so so sore today after running several miles Tuesday, doing a legs workout Wednesday, and running some more Thursday. But it's a good sore b/c I know I'm kicking my but into fat loss mode! I did well yesterday with the 80% full too. I went to my friend's for dinner. She had slow-cooked pork with some chipotle sauce and served it with corn tortillas, etc. The pork was really good and I made a salad that I topped with all the fresh veggies, and just a small dollop of sour cream and spoonful of shredded cheese. Delicious!

A friend and I were driving in my car last weekend and this song came on. We both couldn't believe it, it's hilarious! I also read an article on MSN about how guts are back "in", but it did talk about how there's still a double standard and it's more "in" for men to have them and women are still expected to have a flat/6-pack stomach. Figures. Don't they know that abdominal fat is a risk factor for heart disease?
Mmm, hush puppies... makes me think of the ho cakes and cheesy biscuits served at Paula Deen's restaurant. Don't go there if you want to keep that flat stomach!
Joci, it sounds like you really need that sleep. I hope you get to sleep in Sunday and enjoy it.
Iris, pitch it! If you're talking about it here you know you need to do it. I totally understand the fried bread obsession - why I only enjoy hush puppies, funnel cake, etc. on very limited occasions outside of my house. Do you have some tuna fish, pasta, anything in the cabinet you could eat instead?
Michelle, way to stay strong! It sounds like a fun day, even if there weren't great food options.
Jessica, I split my body into different areas (back, legs, chest, shoulders, core) and try to do strength training 5 days a week, and cardio 5-6 days, and only have trouble with cardio after my legs day (don't have trouble doing cardio - which for me is all about leg strength - if I have any upper body soreness). As I recall NRLW does incorporate lower body into each workout, so I see how you're so sore the next day that you don't want to do cardio. Maybe if you're going to do your NRLW routine T & Th you could focus on doing lots of cardio SaSuMo, then do lighter cardio (walking or light cycling?) as a warm-up to your routine TTh and throw in what you can W or F, taking one day or so off...
Shannon, I love the Rachel's yogurt, too, but can only get that when I go to the city. We must have similar yogurt palates.
I'm not sure where the weekend will take me. Other than to my washer/dryer and the gym, that is, lol. BF has to work tomorrow but I'm sure we'll try to do something together on Sunday. I got a sprouter for my birthday and definitely need to make some sprouts, and maybe pickle the jalapenos I still have coming out to wazoo in my garden... Anyone have any plans more thrilling than mine? (Though I do love sprouts and pickling things I've grown... I think I'm a health geek!)
