Today was another super day in my life even though I awoke quite late again. How can I help it? Saturday night started with a party (yep, I had wine). Then, I came home and stayed up watching the Firefly TV Series on DVD followed by the movie, Serenity until 5am - they are both fantastic, clever, and addicting (clearly...since I stayed up all night watching them).
Exercise:
I was full of energy and I couldn't wait to get to the gym. I focused my weight routine on chest and tricep exercises (push-ups, cable cross overs, dips, and V-bar push down). Between sets I raised my heart rate by jumping rope. For the last 15 minutes of my workout I rode a stationary bike, while indulging my mind in a magazine sharing the latest gossip on celebrities. (Did I just admit that?)
Lunch/Dinner: Huge salad with a mix of chopped red bell peppers, carrots, celery, cucumber on top of spring lettuce served with scrumptious Raw Italian Dressing
Snack: nibbled on 1/2 habanero pepper
Dessert: my new recipe Easy Chocolate Coconut Sauce drizzled over sliced bananas and chopped almonds (recipe included in this month's email newsletter...have you subscribed yet? If not, why are you waiting? Visit www.KristensRaw.com to subscribe now.
Addendum: It's 3:32 am and I just ate a medium size salad (same items as earlier) followed by my swirling energetic Yin Yang Smoothie. The cool and refreshing effect from the frozen bananas (Yin) opposite the spicy hot fire you feel on your tongue and the back of your throat as you swallow (Yang)...well, it's enough to make anyone feel refreshingly hot.
Yin Yang Smoothie 1 - 2 cups water 3 frozen bananas 3 tablespoons organic raw chocolate powder 3/4 - 1 red jalapeno pepper
Blend all of the ingredients until thick and creamy. Enjoy.
