Delicious banana+honey & Thai Chicken kale salad

Image
For brunch I sliced a banana, added fresh blueberries, threw in some walnuts, sprinkled cinnamon, and drizzled on honey. THIS BE BANANAS. PARTY IN MY MOUTH. It's so gratifyingly delicious. I also splashed some milk to eat it kind of like a cereal. I believe this is my current breakfast obsession.  For dinner I had the inspiration from  http://pinchofyum.com/chopped-thai-chicken-salad I just sliced the chicken however instead of shredding it. And I used kale since I didn't have cabbage. Also made some changes to the salad dressing by adding a sweet chili thai sauce to the mix, didn't realize the peanut butter was finished. It was a winner with the family :) However... I didn't go workout today T_T just stretching and yoga. So I also planned out my week of workouts and pledged to not miss any.

haha wow today I spent quite a bit of time on Pinterest organizing my old likes and boards. It's one of those sites that really suck up your time because you invested so many things you want to save for a future project or for your future in general. But the one disadvantage is that I've collected so many things that I pinned to look at later, which I have forgotten. I want to kind of get into a habit of looking back at them (while not wasting too much time) and bringing them out into action.

Back VOLUME

ahh my biceps are hurting, or is it my back? Back/Bicep days are one of my more intense workouts of the week. However, I never really feel like I workout my back very well. Like I can feel the soreness in my arms, but not really throughout my back.. hmm Back & Biceps -10 minutes HIIT stairmaster -10x10 Volume  pullups 4 sets of the following workouts: -Close grip pulldowns -Cable rows -T- Bar rows -Hyperextensions Ok so for 2.5 weeks I've been doing a Keto diet with a couple lapses of carb cheat days :) hahah I think it's been pretty effective however I haven't stuck with it long enough for the results to be exactly conclusive. It was weird that I craved carbs/sugars and actually wanted to eat oatmeal and sweet potato and brown rice only because the diet strictly doesn't allow it. (I'll try to write more about my quick experiment with keto diet soon!).  I've decided to incorporate carbs back into my diet, but only trying to keep it at comple...
