Long time no write, no training, no working out, long hours at work

This year has been tremendously busy work for CFI and myself which is a good thing. It means new opportunities and more new things for me to learn so I will never get bored. I've been so busy that I have not been able to go workout, working late hours. I'm getting sick and tired of it, getting a little irritable -

This may sound weird but I actually miss that I've not been able to go do my workouts. I got in a few times to yoga class at the YMCA and none of the others. My trainer has not been around to train either. Training has been rather irractic with her and when I do train, it is pair up with others which I am not crazy about.

This weekend I finally went to Arrichion and got some much needed exercise. Got in sparta classes which is always very challenging for me but such a feel good feeling. Tiger's Eye I love because it messes with your body and mind and Warrior I enjoy because it is non-stop working out. So while my trainer can't train me, I do this - And in another week, I'm going to participate in the NCRC women's running program. I know right now I can't run long distance but slowly want to get back to running, this may be one way to get my runs in.

Hip is still not right but getting better. My massage therapist has been working with it - putting KT tape on certain sections and working the lower extremities. It is getting better but a long process.

I still try to get some cooking in when I can. I made some flounder last week which I think turn out pretty good. I got the fish from Whole Foods- wild caught flounder.

Baked Flounder seasoned with ginger, onions, garlic, asian spices, parsley, basil, sprinkle garbanzo flour, hot pepper jelly, wasabi - baked in oven for 15-20 mins Dotted with wasabi and serve

Kale salad with avocado dressing - Mashed avocados, lime and lemon juices, garlic, onions, salt, pepper, jalapeno peppers, avocado oil - Wash kale, cut stem off, and cut leaves into bite size - add some dressing and little avocado oil and massage kale - better absorption and better infusion of the dressing to kale and less bitterness

Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms - Mashed avocados, brown rice, lime juice, mushrooms stems, onions, garlic, peppers, salmon, sesame oil, fish sauce, dill, basic, ginger, coconut aminos. Top stuffing on mushroom and bake until done.
