Day 20 - Whipped


All week it has been hot and muggy, which I hate. I'm a cold weather baby, so when it's hot and humid, I am significantly less enthusiastic about working out. Blech.

And today - I felt whipped.

For pretty much all of the strength, cardio, or agility exercises I had to REALLY push to get through them all, and had a significant drop in form in the last (few) set(s). I think I can really use the lighter day tomorrow. Oh my, yes.

And by whipped, I mean this: I worked out; I took a shower; I prepared my food; and,

I took a nap.

and then I went to work.

But at last: Gazpacho!


(adapted from The French Laundry Cookbook)

Mix:
  • chopped red onion
  • chopped green pepper
  • 1/2 chopped English cucumber (the long skinny ones - others are fine, these have less water and seeds)
  • chopped tomato
  • 3 mashed garlic cloves
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/4 c tomato paste
  • 1 Tbl wine vinegar
  • 6 Tbl olive oil
  • 1 Tbl lemon juice
  • 3 c tomato juice
  • salt to taste
let marinate overnight. Eat as is, or blend.
