See ya’, Salt!

12

Hello! :)

Fab.Sat. so far! I woke up and hit the gym – the chips and dip from potluck past were calling for a good sweat sesh. At a 1% treadmill incline and with 5lb weights, I completed:

  • 15 minutes elliptical, level 4
  • Upper body circuit, 15 reps each exercise
  • 15 minutes treadmill, 6.0 mph
  • Upper body circuit, 15 reps each exercise
  • 15 minutes elliptical, level 5
  • Upper body circuit, 15 reps each exercise
  • 15 minutes treadmill, 6.2 mph
  • 5 minute treadmill sprint, 7.0 mph
  • 2 minute treadmill cool down, 3.5 mph
  • Total distance: 6.75 miles

Ugh – this was JUST what I needed – a chance to sweat out all that salt from yesterday! I went in feeling like a balloon, and left feeling much better. :) I’ve really come to enjoy Saturday workouts. I usually think of the weekends as my time to kick back and relax, but really, the weekends are when I have all the uninterrupted time in the world to spend there. I like it!

Needless to say, I was starving when I got home (I didn’t think I’d ever feel hungry again after yesterday!!) so I made exactly what I was craving. A big and juicy Fruit Salad!

I don’t think you have to use your imagination too hard to understand how delicious this was!

Layers of fresh fruit, crunchy almonds and that fabulous raspberry vinaigrette. I LOVE THIS SALAD!

    I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all the workouts you post. I use them a lot to keep my workouts different. Especially on cross training days.

    And I use the gym to sweat out salt filed days too.

    I like your cardio/strength circuit. Is there a theory behind it?

    That salad looks fab! I never think to put fruit salad over greens, but I always have spinach in the house, so I’ll have to try it. I’ll have to add some sliced almonds, too – those look great!

    Great job on the workout!
