Day One April 15

Right. And here we go:

Last night was a really cool KB demonstration by Ajamu Bernard at the Fitness Depot in Burlington. I'd like to say that I go to things like that on a regular basis, but that'd be a lie. I was impressed; it was a little over an hour including a warm up, kb swings, presses squats and deadlifts. At the end, my legs were fine but my thumbs, already bruised from Rugby, were sore. Here is the workout as a list:

10 -15 minutes warm up (various body weight and kettlebell lifting techniques)
10 minutes swings
10 minutes deadlifts
10 minutes squats
15 minutes presses
and a warm down/ clean up

As for diet, well, it didn't go as planned. I was rushing to get to a family "thing" and I had to grab and go. Then I knew I wanted to get to the KB thing. I hate not getting the time to properly prepare a meal, but that is life for me at the moment. It was Tim Horton's Chili which, although a fast food, is yummy and as I look at the list of ingredients, seems healthier than other choices on the menu. Next time I will pack something and be better.

I got home and had to do a bunch of things to set up my Friday for work. That will go better, I already know that for a fact.

As for research, I did the Mr. Obvious thing to do. I hit wikipedia and did about ten minutes of reading there and found three recipes from bloggers:

Teatree's Gluen free cake

yummy tahini hummus from About.com

Veggie burger that I made up the other night:
red peppers,
onions, diced
chimichurii sauce
and put on a burger bun
(for this one, I used store bought regular buns; I'm sure they were not gluten free.)
olive oil
patience

cut to the size of a burger, put on a BBQ lightly oiled with virgin olive oil and let cook for ten minutes. Should/ may char the skin of the pepper, which you can remove if you wish. Some times I do, some times I don't depends on how charred it is.
Garnish with the other stuff, enjoy.

Seems, too, that there is a person with whom I work who has a lot of first hand knowledge of Celiac's disease; which is an allergy to gluten. Hmm learn something new everyday...

I also found that video on how to make Chimichurri sauce. I now know that Cilantro and Parsley are going into my "All edible Garden" at the end of April. Then I'll make my own.... mmmm steak!
