Looks like winter finally decided to show up. Its cold, windy, and pretty much a rude awakening when you walk outside. I just got home from grocery shopping and I literally got tangled in my hair walking from my car. Its all fun and games until you catch a few strands in the eye...
Physically, I am drained. I took one client this morning before teaching hip-hop and then got on the treadmill to top off my Saturday-cardio-extravaganza. Let's be honest, the dancing was more fun. Speaking of, its funny how these cardio-pole-dancing classes are popping up everywhere. I have no doubt its a workout, buuuut I can't take myself seriously trying to "make it rain" while simultaneously trying to avoid a busted hip. And somehow wearing knee pads and a helmet just doesn't seem appropriate.
Needless to say, it was a great morning, great class, and my body is now in much need of REST. Tomorrow is my day off, but I might need to throw some stretching in there...I've got a knot the size of a golf ball in my rear. Nice visual, huh? You get the point, its tight.
I'm getting ready to make my turkey meatballs for the week. I absolutely love these things and they are super healthy. Here's the recipe:
1 pound 99% lean ground turkey
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 egg whites
whatever spices...I use Italian seasoning, garlic/parsley, sea salt, and a dash of oregano
1. Mix everything together and roll into 1.5" balls (makes 12)
2. Place in baking dish and cover with foil
3. Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes (depends how hot your oven is)
I throw a little bit of avocado on mine when I eat them. Don't ask,...I eat weird combos all the time.
They break down to roughly 55 calories per meatball...can't beat that.
Well, I've got a quiet weekend planned...sort of. A couple of family events, the usual OCD cleaning fix, and then its back to the grind on Monday.
Enjoy your Saturday, get some much needed rest, and make HEALTH a priority!
The combination of pole dancing + helmets and knee pads seems like a bit of an oxymoron, but I now have a good visual in my that's making me laugh. I hate that I'm missing your hip-hop classes, but given the last two Saturdays of Jazzercise I've barely been able to crawl out the door much less walk. Yeah I know - the first thing that pops into people's head is, "How is that a workout?" I guess it's kind of like dance classes - you get out of it what you put into it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe turkey meatballs sound good!! I wonder if I could get Chloe to eat some...? It's worth a try.
I hope you got some much-needed rest (and sleep!) this weekend!
