Krav Magic

I went to bed sooo late last night because I was waiting for Kyle to finish his homework (yes, he has homework).  Too bad for me that didn’t end up being until 1 am.  I wasn’t too concerned because, hey, it’s not like I have a job or anything.  But instead of sleeping in and regaining those lost hours, I was up and at ‘em at 7:30.  😡

6 hours of sleep?  Meh.  Not bad, but not a routine I want to roll with all the time.  The early rise and shine did give me time to get a sh!t ton of work done though, which included the creation of a mighty fine mocha beverage. 

Carob + coffee.

Who would’ve known that just one tsp of carob powder mixed in my morning coffee could make such a difference!  Top ‘o le manana indeed-y (how’s that for a smorgasbord of languages?).

Guess what I had for breakfast?  Crunch.  Anyone else crave carrots at 10 am.  I know there must be others out there, too.

I spent allllll morning doing job application stuff.  Seriously, some one hire me. 

I would’ve gone to Starbucks for maximal productivity (it’s like my red zone – football reference anyone?), but I was waiting on a repairman.  The guy was supposed to arrive before 11 am, but wouldn’t you know it, he called at 11:45 saying he was running late.  Uhhhh…no sh!t sherlock.  He finally arrived at 12:30, conveniently RIGHT as I sat down to lunch.  Perfect.

My lunch was worth the wait.

Ciabatta.

Kale sautéed in EVOO & Bragg’s liquid aminos.

Avocado.

Hand-mashed cannellini beans.

Put it all together now.

The juice from the kale soaked into the bread a bit making it perfectly moist, but not soggy.  The outside of the bread was still fresh and crispy and as we all know, avocado makes everything 1 million times better. 

Basically, the sandwich was perfection. 

Once I handled ma biz around the apartment, I ran out for some errands.

And came home starving…which is why this thing Daiya and hummus monstrosity looks like a hot mess of a snack.  No worries, it tasted ah-maze.

Plus I washed it all down with a naranja fizzy pop and apple numero tres of the day.  Holler!

Instead of running along the beach (my typical fitness activity as of late), I had a cool and exciting workout date.  One of my girlfriends is really into Krav Maga, and she took me as a guest to a class.  Oh my goodness, it was a blast!  So much energy, so much fun, so much punching and kicking!  It’s now a full day later and I’m feeling the burn all over the place.  Random back muscles that I hardly knew existed are aching.  Don’t mistake this for a bad thing though, I love feeling sore because it means I busted out of my workout comfort zone. 

Anyone else tried Krav Maga before?

Pre-workout electrolytes.

Going into the class, all I knew was the name: bag class.  I figured that meant punching bags, but other than that I was going in with no background knowledge whatsoever.  It was intense in the best way possible.  In case you couldn’t tell, I loved it.  I may have to get a membership…once I have an income…

Before leaving the casa, I had mostly prepped dinner, so all I had to do once I got home was assemble it.

Sweet taters and kale – steamed and tupped.

Nooch and Bragg’s – condiment all stars.

And dried cranz for good measure somethin’ sweet.

Solid, simple ingredients.  Yummy clean eating 🙂

My body was hungry for dessert a few hours later so I did tha damn thang.  Super salty assorted nuts + carob chips + raisins.  These were the last of our massive (Costco sized) tub of nuts.  Uh-oh.  :P
