Perfectly sore, perfect avocado

I love feeling slightly sore the day after weight training.  The soreness makes me feel like I really pushed myself instead of just going through the motions.  Right now my rear is very sore and my stomach is a little sore.  I really thought that my back/trapezius(?) would be too because I upped the weight for one arm dumbbell rows to 20lbs, but I don't really feel anything there. 

After I finished with the weights yesterday, I thought I'd hop on the treadmill and do some toes in/toes out walking for the shin splints.  But apparently I had already worked my calves enough because they rebelled.  They almost immediately started cramping, so I just stretched instead.  They feel fine today though.

Last night Hubby made burgers which I have to admit were pretty darn tasty.  They certainly weren't lean (85/15 I think), but I had it on an Arnold's whole wheat sandwich thin (love those things - they're so versatile) with a side of homemade vegetable bean soup.  I'm so ready for fall weather so I can make tons of soup.  So easy, so healthy, and so many options.  Especially zuppa toscana.  I bet I could lighten it up a wee bit by subbing turkey sausage and whole milk, no?

Lunch today was kinda blah.  Quinoa with steamed broccoli.  I brought an avocado too but ate that at 10:30 because I never got a chance to have breakfast.  I think I've discovered the key to good avocados - buy them very green and let them ripen at your house.  I bought two the other day and one was green and one was semi-ripe.  The semi-ripe one was all yucky when I did cut it open a few days later, but today's avocado was perfect.  Nothing needed but salt and a spoon.  Yum.

I didn't squeeze in a walk yesterday, so I've got to do it today.  I brought my workout clothes, so maybe I can swing by the park today after work.  I have got to get more disciplined if I'm really going to start training for a half.  But you know what? I'm doing way more than I was a month ago, so I'm not going to beat myself up.

I'm super excited to write about Hubby's lesson plan.  I helped a good bit and it goes with the theme of this blog. I would write about it today but I left the phone, with the picture on it, at home.
