Hi Hi! Hope you all had a wonderful Wednesday.The day started out all rainy & blah, but by midi the rain stopped, clouds cleared and the sun was a-shining…ahhh. Enter a new found, sunny disposition on…life. Seriously tho, my mood & energy are so heavily affected by the weather. Kinda crazy. This afternoon’s change of weather made for an absolutely beautiful evening sky…

As usual, work was good and I worked out even though today probably should have been a rest day. I didn’t realize just how sore I was from boxing yesterday until I was about 2 sets into today’s workout. 2 things… 1) my triceps were dead from throwing punches 2) I kind of tweaked my back in yesterdays boxing sesh. (one too many hard slips to the left)

Clean Eats

Another savory oatmeal for brek this morning. Added toasted almonds instead of pine nuts and rather than sauteing the spinach in the pan along with the onions, mushrooms & peppers, I saved it for the very last minute. Tossed the spinach in the pot with the oats to wilt it for literally no more than a minute. Remember, the more you cook your veggies the more nutrients they lose.

Midi Green Smoothie

NomNoms — Lentil Soup. Will be eating this for days.

Sexy Shoulders Superset

Exercise of the day: Upright Row/Reverse “T” Fly Superset
3 sets, 20 reps of each — killer combo for lean, sexy shoulders. These are two of my favorite shoulder exercises — especially, the bent over reverse flys. I call these a “T” Fly because I do them one of two ways 1) thumbs down 2) thumbs up vs. your standard reverse fly where palms are face down. This is a fantastic exercise for scapular retraction and to counterbalance chest work (which I do a lot of).
