Thanks for the great recipes yesterday guys! It seems we all are excited for the start of summer bbq season. So after discussing with my sister the nurse and our friend Google, we’ve come to the conclusion that I was probably suffering from sun poisoning and wasn’t actually hungover. Which explains why my feelings of death lasted into Monday. Good to know.
Last night I returned to the gym and did a 60 minute spin class followed by an upper body workout. Spin was super hard, and my legs were burning by the end. This instructor is a slave driver and wants you to keep your RPMs at 75 while on a 17 resistance. Yeah that’s difficult, and we never drop below 11, I was jello after. Upper body workout looked like this.

Needless to say I was famished after my workout and headed home to sweat (literally, there’s no ac in my kitchen) over the stove and make dinner. When I was at the store on Sunday, I picked up the ingredients for my favorite salad of all time and couldn’t wait to stuff it in my face.
That bowl is bigger than my head, btw. About half a head of iceburg lettuce, half a tomato, ground beef, Mexican cheese, a scoop of sour cream, some crushed up tortilla chips, and fat free Katalina dressing. It was delicious, and not surprisingly, also what I’ll be eating for dinner for the next three nights :). You people who use greek yogurt instead of sour cream, I don’t get you, there is no substitute. Sorry. (I’m not really sorry)
Anyway, it’s Wednesday, which is nice especially since I get to leave early on Friday and have Monday off, yay. I have my fitness assessment/orientation/tour of the new gym today after work. I’m pretty pumped to be able to use it finally. Hopefully it’s nice and the classes start soon. Alright, I’m out, later biotches.
