‘Fu master

This is how my food prepping has been going… TOFU you are my b!tch Clearly I have been a busy little bee on my days off.  Busy with LA SOYA that is!  To provide myself with several meal options, I mixed things up in the seasoning department.  From L to R: plain cubed, plain slabs, Whole Foods’ asian seasonings, and chili powder/paprika). After some bonding time in the oven, they came out looking like this: Shrinkage. Spice-ayyy. And here’s how I’ve been gittin’ my soy on. Meal numero uno: Big salad with mayj crunch, including… Read more >

Food prep (aka AAAA part 3)

Work dayyyy… Big salad, small salad, Iced Oatmeal Raisin Luna bar, Honey Graham Z bar, Tazo chai tea, and 2 apples (gala and pinata) So yeah.  Moving on to the last of the AAAA (refer back to part 1 & part 2 if you missed it)… 3.  The last issue I want to tackle relates to my days off.  I cut myself MAJOR slack on work days (probably more than I should).  But let’s face it, completing a 12 hour shift shouldn’t equate to a get-out-of-jail-free card.  It’s not brain surgery (it’s heart surgery –… Read more >

Muscle memory (aka AAAA part 2)

An Anti-Atrophy Agenda that is…(if you missed part one, or the OG dilemma, click away).  Otherwise, I’ll just continue where I last left off…  2.  As per several of your comments, I am going to be travelling outside my comfort zone and giving group classes a shot.  Because I am a wuss, the only ones I have ever done are spinning [which I love(d)].  I don’t know how I fell off the wagon with those…  Anyways, since I am working on diversifying my exercise, I think classes are the way to go.  To start out,… Read more >

An anti-atrophy agenda (part 1)

After I started writing, I realized I had more to say than I thought, so it’s gonna be a three part plan (stay tuned).  For now, let’s talk about my tapeworm insatiable appetite.  For the life of me, I couldn’t get my hunger in check the other morning. “Nature is a giver, a true friend and a sustainer.”  The same can be said about Justin’s nutbutter.  On the english muffin was the “classic” almond butter, and DANG, was it tasty.  This is by far my favorite kind of nut butter.  I never thought the day… Read more >

Atrophy

My goodness!  I feel like I’m losing muscle and my body is turning into blah by the day…I don’t know what happened to my motivation, but somehow I have managed to avoid physical activity for nearly two weeks.  Unfortunately, I can feel it in my tone and general fitness.  Even MORE unfortunate is how little I seem to care.  Ok, that’s inaccurate, I definitely care.  I just am too tired and unmotivated on my days off to take action.  No worries, I have a plan.  But first, my past few days of work eats. Clif… Read more >
