WRAPPING UP THE BIRTHDAY CHEER

September didnt start too fantastically in our household. On 30 August I was quietly congratulating myself on NOT getting a cold this winter. On 31 August I got my first cold for this winter. Hmmm. Not happy about that. I missed yoga and both weights sessions that week.

The following week started well but then my boy got sick and spent a day and half home from school with a non-specific virus. Yet again yoga was missed and so were my weights sessions as my routine was all out of whack. By then it was 2 weeks with no yoga and no weights.

Fast forward to the end of last week and beginning of this week and it was Peter's turn to get sick. At least that didnt affect my training and I put a damned good effort into getting back into my usual routine. So it was yoga on Tuesday night backed up with my leg weights training Wednesday morning. By late morning yesterday I could feel the DOMS showing me some love.

So to put the icing on the cake, today was upper body day and all I could say was "oh strength, why hast thou left me?" I swear in the 2 weeks of my absence each 5 kilo plate gained a kilo in weight, the 10 kilo bar got heavier and clunkier and my muscles said "what the hell are you trying to do?" I'm sure the DOMS love will be heading north by tomorrow.

Now that everyone in our family is well - and ironically we all had a different illness - we can truly enjoy Peter's continued birthday celebrations. On the menu tonight are individual Steak Wellingtons (vs one large Beef Wellington)  with some snazzy potatoes (recipe yet to be decided) and veges followed by baked coffee liqueur cheesecake. I think we're dragging out a GOOD bottle of red as well. The SWs wouldnt be my choice but then tonight is not all about me. Tomorrow night we go out for drinks and dinner kid free :-) and thats about it for the birthday cheer.

  2. The fact that Christ referenced grains then does not mean disagreement.
    Try this quick, tasty dish instead. Loren Cordain Paleo
    Diet for athletes will allow these items in moderation.
    Great alternative to processed sugar, salt and sugar. Processed foods filled with preservatives nor do you eat fatty
    fast foods.
