Not happy this weekend but all turn out OK

Someone said to me "Sue, you are some athlete" and I never recognize this about myself since I do not have an athletic body, or strong limbs or muscles to show for it, but I certainly got the KT tape to show for it. KT tape on my shoulder for a shoulder injury and KT tape on my leg- shin splints and hurt foot.

I was not a happy camper this weekend. Tues night, my foot was in pain for no reason at all - it is like old injury coming back and come Fri, it was not better so regrettably, I had to skip my long run with the Galloway folks. Boo! But I could not sit on my fat ass and do nothing so I texted Ty at Arrichion and asked if I can come to Sparta on Sat morning and off I went. You know, I rather enjoyed that class at that time. You get done early, not as many people and the whole supersets get done quickly and then you have the rest of the day. So all is not lost.

This morning I contemplated on either going to a Warrior/Mystery circuit class or Sparta, I chose Warrior since I had things to do and have not taken this class in a long while. When I used to take warrior, I would go through the motions, do the weights that are not hard, forgo things that I was too afraid to do but now, ever since I am doing training with a trainer and I am taking Sparta, my whole mindset is so different. I want to do more, I want to do harder, I want to do my best, I want to challenge me and you know, it is the greatest feeling you have after- you are dead tired but you have that big smile on your face :-)

Oh did I do any cooking this weekend...oh sure! We got some eggplant, tomatoes coming in and I did some grilled eggplant, I did some chicken and lamb kabobs  - I created a concoction marinade which turn out pretty tasty

Marinade:

1. coconut oil
2. sesame oil
3. marsala
4. rosemary, garlic, onion, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, tahini, salt , pepper, ginger, nutritional yeast,

Probably a couple of other spices I forgot - Sorry, I don't have recipes written. At the moment I would look at the food item and say this is what I am going to do.

After that I skewered the meat with different veggies and the husband grill them
tastes better on the grill

Tomorrow morning, going to see the ortho guy to check my foot- let's hope it is not another stressed fracture. Wish me luck!

Enjoy -
If there is anything you want me to help you with -as far as cooking, let me know
