Yesterday looked like this:
6:45AM - room temperature water with lemon and a handful of blueberries {before my 75 minute yoga class}
9:15 AM - detox tea and some more lemon water
9:45AM - strawberry, blueberry and spinach smoothie {with some water for liquid}
12:00PM - celery with almond butter and 1/2 cup of last night's brown rice
2:30PM - handful of raw almonds
5:00 PM - run
7:00 PM - quinoa with steamed broccoli and tomatoes tossed with a cut-up chicken breast from last night and some strawberries on the side
Yesterday morning I had an interesting conversation with Laurel, my yoga instructor. She is somewhat of an expert on cleanses and said a true cleanse doesn't involve the rice right away. I definitely can see that, but if I am running the miles I am, I need a little more substance to my diet than just fruits and veggies. That's my opinion since I know how my body
Exercise:
1} Morning yoga session {75 minutes}
2} Afternoon Track Session {approximately 5.5 miles}
I wanted to get my legs moving so I decided a little session on the track was in order. After a three mile warm-up, Jesse let me in the gate and timed me for six 200s. The first one was just a gauge/warm-up, especially since I didn't do the normal drill routine.
6 x 200 - 40.94, 38.9, 37.8, 37.7, 36.9 {1.5 minutes rest in between each}
After the workout, I did a 1.5 mile cool down. Up until this point, I felt completely fine. But while I was cooling down, I was physically spent. I'm thinking that my body still has to get used to what I am eating {and not eating}.
As for today, I am heading into my classroom for the first time since June and then I have a trip to the chiropractor. Enjoy your day!
The quinoa, chicken, broccoli and tomatoes looks very good! I want to know how you feel after a few days of eating so clean and raw. Good luck!
