Day 8: A Day of Rest

It was only a day of rest from exercise, not anything else. I still had to do the wife/mother duties such as making sure I have everything ready for the work week, clean clothes, cook etc. but all and all I had a pretty peaceful day.

Food for the day:
Breakfast: I was sinful, I ate one of the Paleo brownies I made last night, 1/2 a banana, and a glass of coconut milk. I know how to start the day off right!
Lunch: Baked salmon, I put fresh squeezed lemon juice and lots of dried garlic then I covered it with foil and cooked about 30 minutes. I also had zucchini sliced drizzled with olive oil with a little sea salt and rosemary. I cooked it uncovered the same time I cooked the salmon. I served this with a leaf lettuce salad with purple onions, yellow squash, radish and olives with an olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I'm not really a fish person, but the family is, and they loved it so I guess it was good.
Snack: apple
Dinner: chicken lettuce sandwich and mushroom soup. If you give me a baked chicken from Walmart, I can do wonders. I used the breast off the chicken a couple of days ago and made curry chicken salad, so I still had the legs and thighs leftover. I covered the chicken with good clean water not tap water! Simmered the chicken for an hour took out all the chicken and bones. Added a tablespoon of sea salt and one chopped purple onion. I cooked that on medium heat until the onion was tender then I added a large container of sliced mushrooms and cooked them until the mushrooms were tender. I removed all the meat from the chicken bones I could and we made chicken sandwiches using lettuce as our bread and a bowl of mushroom soup. The soup was very good. Like I said give me a baked chicken from Walmart and I can do wonders! I make a really good tortilla soup with one, but I'll save that for later!

Well, it's getting late and I have to go to work tomorrow, and we sold one of our houses and closing is tomorrow, so off to bed for me! I won't be at CrossFitt tomorrow, so I'll be on my own for my workout. I haven't decided what I'll be doing but I'm sure I'll think of something. To all of you going to Crossfit, good luck and God speed! Until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!
