I know the whey in salad sounds nasty! I'm not sure what possessed me that day the first time I tried it but I was brave! LOL It is good, though, if you like vinegar & oil-type dressings.
I couldn't make up my mind if I wanted to take a rest week this week or not. Today, I decided to go ahead with the rest week. There is so much crap to be done outside -- hours and hours of big, heavy, sweaty stuff. So I've been out there for hours each day working my butt off, probably getting more of a workout that even NR4W!
Hubby's been bringing home next year's firewood all winter... in big, tree-sized logs and dumping them all over the freaking place, not in one semi-neat pile like sane people would do. Oh, no. Not him. So I've been heaving (literal) tons and tons of logs that weigh from 75 to 500 pounds each. Did I mention we live on a hill? And the logs are down the hill from where they're supposed to be? Uh-huh, yeah. I've done more (and heavier) squats and deadlifts and push-presses in the past 3 days than I've done in all of the workouts this year combined. At least I'm using good form (and cuss words)! No major accidents yet, just a few crushed toes and my hands and forearms cut to shreds. Cake, baby.
I think I'm finding a happy place in my eats now. I'd still rather sit down and have nothing but fresh veggies from the garden all day but I'm certainly beginning to see the payoff of getting more protein and fat in -- more strength and energy (to use towards putting in this year's garden so I can sit in the garden all day and eat veggies
).
My brain just stopped. *thud*
